Is #5 America’s Sweethearts?
No it’s not. I’m not sure when either Julia Roberts or Catherine-Zeta Jones played a nurse.
#4 is The Apartment.
Is #1 The Killing>
And I think #3 is Guns of Navarone (starring Atticus Finch and James Bond).
I think #4 is Jack Lemmon (The Odd Couple) and Shirley MacLaine (Sweet Charity) together in The Apartment
I’m giving Hazel the tie for #4.
#1 is not the Killing but you’re getting warm.
Julia Roberts wasn’t a RN but nursed a dying man in the aptly named Dying Young.
I see. Sorry, I never saw that film.
#1 is The Asphalt Jungle with Sterling Hayden (Dr Strangelove) and Jean Hagen (Singin’ in the Rain) – thanks for the clues 🙂
#6 is Atlantic City with Burt Lancaster (The Birdman of Alcatraz) and Susan Sarandon (The Rocky Horror Picture Show)
Well done, Hazel. Tom could have grabbed it but did not; totally legit.
And Mel, of course you are right as well.
Ooh, #5 is that movie with Philip Seymour Hoffman (Magnolia) and Laura Linney (Kinsey) as siblings. Argh. I could look it up on IMDB…. The Savages.
Is # 7 No Country For Old Men, with Javier Bardem (Before Night Falls) pursuing Josh Brolin (Bush) ?
Is #2 a Drew Barrymore (adorable toddler) movie? Maybe Riding in Cars with Boys? (I don’t know when Steve Zahn played a bass player, though.)
AGH! I was wrong about Steve Zahn. I thought he was T.B. Player in THAT THING YOU DO, but he wasn’t. Anyway, you’re right.
Nope, that was Ethan Embry (I think?).
it was indeed Ethan Embry, I just had them mixed up.
Too late to solve anything, but I just want to say that The Apartment is just about my all-time favorite movie. Okay, 2 cents added.
