It's their 21st movie!

by Nathaniel R

(yes we'll get to the DGA awards in a minute. until then...)

Both Regina King (If Beale Street Could Talk) and Adam Driver (BlacKkKlansman) are nominated this year for their 21st feature film roles. So let's play a game.

With 21 days until the Oscars, we selected 21 screencaps  of 21 very randomly selected favourite actors of TFE from their 21st films. Guess what the movie is in the comments (please only 1 movie guess per comment to give multiple readers a chance to guess.). They won't all be as easy as #1 after the jump...

February 3, 2019 | Unregistered Commenterpawel

#8 Dangerous Minds

February 3, 2019 | Unregistered CommenterCésar Gaytán

17 Laura Dern in "I am Sam". Such an underrated movie.

February 3, 2019 | Unregistered CommenterPaul

20. Penelope Cruz - All About My Mother

February 3, 2019 | Unregistered CommenterVictor S

18 The beach
20 Todo sobre mi madre

February 3, 2019 | Unregistered CommenterBrown Cow Stunning

21 - Bette Davis and Margaret Lindsay in FOG OVER FRISCO (1934). This movie gets a little better if you are a great great fan of Davis. In her times as Warner Brothers Queen Bette had to fight for good scripts and roles and this movie is there as a proof.

February 3, 2019 | Unregistered CommenterFeline Justice

4. Meryl in The River Wild

February 3, 2019 | Unregistered CommenterBruno

I'll have Birdman of Alcatraz for Thelma Ritter, please.

(Also, seeing how Brown Cow Stunning ignores the one guess per comment rule certainly doesn't give me that ooh ah ah sensation.)

February 3, 2019 | Unregistered CommenterMrW

Wtf, somebody showed up to defend I Am Sam!

February 3, 2019 | Unregistered Commentercal roth

... And the costumes are TE-RRI-BLE!

February 3, 2019 | Unregistered CommenterFeline Justice

Viola Davis in Eat Pray Love

February 3, 2019 | Unregistered Commentershawshank

I'm thrown by this exercise not using screen grabs from Driver and King's filmography?

February 3, 2019 | Unregistered Commenter/3rtful

February 3, 2019 | Unregistered CommenterSuzanne

JULIE ANDREWS IN......THE PRINCESS DIARIES?

February 3, 2019 | Unregistered CommenterNB-BCCT

NB-BCCT - Couldn't place which Julie Andrews movie. I was thinking 10 since I would have thought Julie Andrews would have past 21 movies by 2001.

February 3, 2019 | Unregistered CommenterReady

NB -- nope but right time period

February 3, 2019 | Unregistered CommenterNATHANIEL R

6. The Princess Diaries II (I was going to say The Princess Diaries, but you already said that's wrong.)

One reason Natalie Wood got to twenty one films so quickly is because she started so early (in "Miracle on 34th St.", I think.)

February 3, 2019 | Unregistered CommenterCarl

4 - Ziegfeld Follies, 1945, is one of my favorites - being an old musicals lover. Every movie director should watch it to learn how to make a movie of the genre. Because the movie is exactly about that. A pretext for MGM to put its star cast in several numbers; the one with Judy Garland "A Great Lady Has an Interview" is a lot of fun and she's never been so beautiful. Fanny Brice, the original Funny Girl, one of Ziegfeld's stars, is in the cast.

February 3, 2019 | Unregistered CommenterDoodie

10 is Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, right?

February 3, 2019 | Unregistered CommenterRobert G

February 3, 2019 | Unregistered CommenterSoshua.

February 3, 2019 | Unregistered CommenterBrown Cow Stunning

18. Tilda Swinton “The Beach”

February 3, 2019 | Unregistered CommenterBrezz

6 - Unconditional Loe

Doh! Just saw someone got in first.

What a fun, if rather oddly structured and paced, film.

February 3, 2019 | Unregistered CommenterAdam Lewis

Is Denzel's the one with the serial killer? I can't remember the name of it.

February 3, 2019 | Unregistered CommenterCash

Okay, Gael is in Letters to Juliet and Denzel is in Fallen.

February 3, 2019 | Unregistered CommenterBVR

13 Love and Other Drugs

February 3, 2019 | Unregistered CommenterTiffany Ann

Oops no...Anne in Song One for #13.

February 3, 2019 | Unregistered CommenterTiffany Ann

@NATHANIEL R In my defense I was born in 1993 haha

February 3, 2019 | Unregistered Commenterkris01

Adam Lewis - It should be a classic. People have to watch it

February 3, 2019 | Unregistered CommenterBrown Cow Stunning

OK who knows their Asian cinema and can guess #7?

February 3, 2019 | Unregistered CommenterHustler

# 7 - Pfeiffer in Dangerous Minds

February 3, 2019 | Unregistered CommenterJorge

CLUE: #7 is TONY LEUNG CHIU-WAI who is only the greatest asian movie star (well, among the men that is). But even i might have a hard time guessing this movie (i've never seen this one)

February 3, 2019 | Registered CommenterNATHANIEL R

#10 - Lady of the Night
#18 - The Beach
#19 - Spice World

February 3, 2019 | Unregistered CommenterJay

Nathaniel, it took me a while to recognize Tony Leung because he looks so young in that image! No clue what movie it is, though...

February 3, 2019 | Unregistered CommenterHustler

Laura Dern is in I Am Sam?! Huh.

February 3, 2019 | Unregistered CommenterBrad

20 Todo sobre mi madre

February 3, 2019 | Unregistered CommenterBrown Cow Stunning

#10 is giving some Adore Delano realness!

February 3, 2019 | Unregistered CommenterEvan

Evan -- lol. I've never heard Norma Shearer compared to Adore Delano but I can kinda see it.

February 3, 2019 | Registered CommenterNATHANIEL R

Is that An Bee (Kenny Bee from the HK group Wynners) beside Tony Leung?

February 4, 2019 | Unregistered CommenterJans

Tony Leung in Happy Together!!


Kidman in Moulin Rouge
Blanchett in The Missing
Law in Closer
Davis in Eat Pray Love
Penelope Cruz in All About My Mother
Meryl Streep in The River Wild
Tilda Swinton in The Beach

February 4, 2019 | Unregistered CommenterManuel

Since I cheated with wikipedia, I won't post the answer. But Tony Leung sure made a lot of movies in and before his prime!

February 4, 2019 | Unregistered Commenterkin

OKAY you all did great yesterday. The final answer is Tony Leung Chiu Wai in THE TIGERS.
