film quiz, second round

[kattahj]

Films were clearly more difficult than TV shows - you caught about a quarter of them in the first round.

Here's the second round now, with clues. Swedes still forbidden (though will probably be allowed in the third):

1. It's in the blood (1940) - has been filmed several times, one version had the Swedish title "Stop the presses"= His Girl Friday,

39. The Whole Nine Yards (I'm discovering the orignal title right now - would never have guessed it from the French translation^^)

and maybe 44. Motorcycle diaries?

[kattahj]

Yes to 39, no to 44 (though you're in the right general neighbourhood).

And what's the French title? *am curious*

[benebu]

'My neighbour, the killer'

Gah, it's frustrating. I hope someone finds it.

#3 can't be the original King Kong, can it?

29. A pear for a father celebrates Christmas. (1989) - well, "pear", whatever made you think you'd get a nice vacation this time?
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation?

37. Six lessons in love (1998) - well, there are six separate(-ish) stories, and they're all about love in one way or another, so, sure.
Love, Actually

49. The Secret Sense (1999) - is not the sixth sense, though the premise is much the same and you can probably get there in six degrees.
Unbreakable?

oh, and 45 is probably A Chorus Line?

[kattahj]

Yes on #29, no on the rest, I'm afraid.
