A Movie Quiz - Something in Common

Are they all newspaper men though I can't get Paul Newman !

..which is correct, I hope. Boxers?

Kirk Douglas - Champion
Paul Newman - Somebody Up There Likes Me
Errol Flynn - Gentleman Jim
Jon Voight - The Champ
Burt Lancaster - From Here to Eternity
Robert DeNiro - Raging Bull

Yes to boxer. And all the movies are correct, too.

Well done Macsm11, I'm just a cub reporter, still I'll keep trying

Not looking for a profession this time...

Gene Wilder
Nicolas Cage
Jeremy Irons
Donald Sutherland
Hayley Mills
Jean-Claude Van Damme

I'll say dual roles, because I'm not sure that Donald Sutherland played twins. If he did in The Assignment, I'll say twins.

Wilder - Start the Revolution Without Me
Cage - Adaptation
Irons - Dead Ringers
Sutherland - The Assignment
Mills - The Parent Trap
Van Damme - Double Impact

Sutherland and Wilder both played twins in Start the Revolution Without Me.

You're getting way too tricky, Mac. Sutherland did play a dual role in The Assignment, too.

This is an easy one for you two movie buffs?

Charlton Heston
Marlon Brando
Raymond Burr
Richard Burton
Helmut Dantine

Charlton Heston -Marc Antony-Antony and Cleopatra
Marlon Brando -Marc Antony-Julius Caesar
Raymond Burr - Mark Antony-Serpent of the Nile
Richard Burton - Marc Antony-Cleopatra
Helmut Dantine- Anthony- The story of mankind

?

Good job, hiama - I just figured it out myself!

Yes to Marc Antony and the movies, too, Hiama. Good job. Your turn.

James Mason
Judi Dench
Julianne Moore
Vanessa Redgrave
Glenda Jackson

Not a word in the title or a role

Redheads?

LOL Mac. And you changed your avatar. Who is that? She's familiar. I miss the little frog and now I miss Venus.

I'm stuck inasmuch as Hiama said not a title and not a role. I was going to say movies based on Oscar Wilde writings, but although James Mason was in a movie about Oscar Wilde, it wasn't written by Wilde. Well, I'll give it a go anyway.

James Mason - The Trials of Oscar Wilde
Julianne Moore - An Ideal Husband (author, Oscar Wilde)
Vanessa Redgrave - Wilde - (based on Wilde's unfinished work, The Selfish Giant)
Glenda Jackson - Salome's Last Dance (author, Oscar Wilde)
Judi Dench - Importance of Being Earnest (author, Oscar Wilde)

Wow, nice guess. I hope it's right!

My current avatar is Dana Scully from X-Files. Loved that show. Still love the reruns.

My Venus avatar was linked to an outside site - and Jespah announced that we would lose the ability to use those. I just didn't expect it to happen so fast. So I need to find her again and download her, or find another avatar. Venus was fun - I liked being the Goddess of Love! I had Scully before, and I may live with her for a while if I don't find a pleasing avatar soon.

Raggedy you are right again- well done

Good Morning. I'm leaving in a few minutes for an appointment and will probably not be back until late afternoon. I pass my question to one of you. Thank you.

Mac. I prefer Venus (it suits you), but there's always the funny looking frog.

Hiama: It's funny because I had a question about Oscar Wilde, too, but Julianne Moore was the only one you used that I had in my question.

OK as Macsm11 is pretty busy how about this one.

Its not a role and its not a word, it is something that all 5 actors have in common. I reckon this is pretty tough.

Robert Duvall
Harrison Ford
Harry Dean Stanton
Al Pacino
Meryl Streep

I've worked on this off and on since you posted it, hiama. No results yet. But don't give any hints yet - I want to give Raggedy a chance!

Okey dokey, I think you'll like it when you get there
