It's Oscars alright, so...
fbaezer, this was supposed to be a cinch! What are you going for?
Well, I thought the question was a cinch. Sorry about it.
You're almost there macsm.
They all co-starred with Hoffman
The films are correct.
What do those 3 films have in common, besides being starred by Hoffman?
Now, that's a cinch.
Besides starring Dustin Hoffman and besides having won Oscars for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Screenplay?
You overkilled macsm. I was thinking "starring with Dustin Hoffman in a film that won Oscar for best picture".
Your turn.
Whew!
Timothy Hutton
Nastassja Kinski
Danny DeVito (twice)
Woody Harrelson
No, not trains. But the something-in-common is in the titles...
Yes to PEOPLE
Timothy Hutton - Ordinary People
Nastassja Kinski - Cat People
Danny DeVito - Other People's Money and Ruthless People
Woody Harrelson - The People vs. Larry Flynt
Ohmygosh.I did it!!
Ok Ok ...ermmmmm
This one may be tough:
Donnie Brasco
Point Blank
Midnight Cowboy
Mac opens the film lexicons!!
Hebba, did you mean Point Blank, which stars a lot of actors I never heard of and Mickey Rourke or Point Break, which had Keanu and Patrick Swayze, etc., in the cast?
Point Blank with Lee Marvin and Angie Dickinson.
Mac,I have to leave now.
Hope you get this one!!
Won´t be here for 15 hours or so,sorry.
Well, early thoughts are that they all show criminals in their element and were all based on books. But those are too easy...
Point Blank and Donnie Brasco both have the leads infiltrating a gang. Did anyone infiltrate anything in Midnight Cowboy?
Donnie Brasco and Midnight Cowboy both filmed in NY and in Florida, but Point Blank is set in California.
Donnie Brasco and Midnight Cowboy show one man mentoring another, but Lee Marvin is a loner in Point Blank...
Anybody have any thoughts on this one?
