No rush.

Your turn. You do't have to do three. I was just trying to show levels of difficulty.

The first one is correctly identified. The second one is Benny and Joon. In that moment, Depp is effortlessly tipping over a bench by walking on it. Aidan Quinn's character tries it a minute later and can't. It shows how talented Depp's character is. The third one is Apollo Creed emerging from the shadows to become Rocky's ally instead of enemy in Rocky III

Here's the game: When it's your turn, post a picture. Our job: name the movie from that one frame. While it's not required, the spirit of the game calls for us to recall the scene and discuss. Doesn't have to be lengthy. For the person who posted the image, you can (and should) explain why you chose that image and that moment [after it has been guessed]. How to grab a still frame, PC: 1. While watching the movie on your computer, pause at the moment you want to screen cap. 2. Click the windows icon, shift, and the letter S at the same time. You should get a prompt that tells you the image has been snipped or a box asking you to snip it. Make sure you crop only the image (we're not interested in your whole screen). 3. Save the pic. You can make it easy. You can make it so that someone would have to have seen it to name it. Or you can make it challenging. It's really up to you.

Henry Fonda was looking for a project where he could star with son Peter and daughter Jane. But when On Golden Pond showed up, there was no significant role for Peter. He could have played a mailman or something, but chose to stay out of it. Henry starred opposite Katherine Hepburn. Both won Oscars for their roles but were not in good health to attend the ceremony. Jane was nominated but did not win. She accepted the award for her father (satellite video showed his reaction). On Golden Pond did not win Best Picture that year. The honor went to Chariots of Fire. Good luck getting the music out of your head now. Henry Fonda's final role was for a TV movie called Summer Solstice. He died a month after the Oscar ceremony.

I do not know if Ryan O'Neal has a son either. I am certain he was in movies after Paper Moon. Wrong Daddy-daughter combo. Also, Tatum O'Neal was there to accept her Oscar, and her dad did not win. For this movie, the lead actor and lead actress won Oscars. The lead actor's daughter did not.

The lead actor was looking for a project that would allow his son and daughter to co-star with him, but couldn't resist the opportunity to take on this project, which would be his last theatrical film role. There was no meaningful role for his son, though, so he (the son) was not in the movie. Both leads won acting Oscars for this movie, but neither was at the ceremony to pick it up in person. Best Picture that year went to a movie more remembered for its musical score than its plot.

Footage was shot for the opening credits but was not used in the movie. The footage was recycled into the opening credits of the TV show "Newhart."

Sorry. Been bz

I always wondered...

Yes sir. I was hoping that would not take long.

Ok, that actually does narrow it down. So it's a literary hoity toity work that starred a woman younger than Raquel Welch (who was, if I'm not mistaken, in her mid 40s in the 1980s. And it starred a man and a woman who later starred together in a completely unrelated movie. So, my first thought is Ragtime, but Ragtime did not have a sequel. Not that I know of. Cannery Row (novel by Steinbeck) had a sequel, and I'm pretty sure it was a movie that kind of flopped, but for the life of me I can't remember who's in it. Cannery Row ?

Oops. Ok, my go... American Graffiti The Untouchables Never Cry Wolf

Nicholas Hammond was a Von Trapp. At least I think he was. The pilot was shown in theaters in some countries, but not the USA. That was in 1977. Sam Raimi's Spider-Man was in 2002. Three Tobey Maguire movies. Two Andrew Garfield movies. Two Tom Holland movies Civil War Infinity War Endgame Spider-verse. That's 11. J. Jonah Jameson was the closest thing to a comic book antagonist to appear in the Hammond series, but in this version he did not think Spidey was a menace. The series aired on CBS, which also aired Hulk and Wonder Woman. CBS jettisoned Spider-Man and Wonder Woman.

One Million Years BC was not a major...? Ok. Whatevs. Mid 80s movie that coulda had Welch but went younger... Based on a novel that had a sequel. Male lead could poke fun at Richard Dreyfus... I fold
-
At around the same time as this live action series, another live action version of the title character was featured occasionally on segments of a completely unrelated series. Different actor, and the stakes were never as high. You guys are naming everyone except this guy.

I'm counting seven movies where Superman is a title character and one where he's a supporting character. Two if you count a cameo where you don't see his face. Which one am I missing? Superman I-IV Returns Man of Steel Batman v Superman... Justice League Shazam Anything else in theaters? Plus, Superman and the Mole Men was released in US theaters and was 27 years before Superman (1978) So, no. You're on the right track though. Wrong railroad.
-
Well, she actually WAS the lead in One Million Years BC, and that was 1966. So it would have to be released before that. Without looking it up, I'm gonna go with Dr. Zhivago (Julie Christie did a few nude scenes; I have no idea whether one was included in Dr. Z. Like I said, I'm guessing).

Vanilla Sky ?
-
11 films and counting. The main character has a stable of antagonists, but none appeared in the tv series (well, one sort-of antagonist appeared, but oddly, he was not as opposed to the main character as later movie audiences would find him).

So much accuracy to result in the wrong conclusion. Change your third paragraph.
