The lead actor was looking for a project that would allow his son to co-star with him, but couldn't resist the opportunity to take on this project, which would be his last theatrical film role. Both leads won acting Oscars, 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.

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.

YES!

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 ?

Correct

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.

The character was on TV long before he was in theaters. Anyway, let's try this: This series is live action. There are a number of animated series featuring the main character as well. One of the 11 movies was animated as well.

Oh... NONE of the movies were based on the tv show.

I guarantee you know the answer. Not a lot of characters have been in 11 movies [eight as the title character].

If it helps, this is a true story [hollywood style, but still]. That should really narrow it down when you realize who's being referenced in the first quote.

Tucci it is

Abraham Erskine Stanley Kubrick Johnny, a mob figure whose boss gets ripped off because he was afraid Mr. Lombino was gonna send Mario to collect instead.

One of the lead actor's first roles was as a Von Trapp child in The Sound of Music (movie). The show was canceled primarily because the network did not want to be too closely associated with its genre: it already had two successful shows in the genre and only kept one of them. The original pilot was given a theatrical release in some countries, but not in the USA. The main character would not be seen in theaters again for another 25 years. Since then, he's been on the big screen 11 times.

"You're a good man. Your brother is a good man. I assure you, there are other good men. Let us hope the will of good men is enough to counter the terrible strength of this thing that was put in motion." * "And they fire their missiles. And we fire ours." * "We gave up so much to get here. I don't know. Sometimes I think, what the hell did we do it for?" "Well, I don't know about you, but... I'm in it for the money."

Ok i'm up
