What movie am I - Brain Teasers Message Board

Were the three Oscars all for acting - or was there a director or something in there too?

Set in the present day.

Oscars were for acting.

The male star and another cast member (not one of the Oscar winners) had appeared together in another film, released the same year.

Blow?

Released later than Blow.

The male lead is mature gentleman with a somewhat world weary face.

Hackman?

Younger than Gene, but they appeared together in a low budget film many years earlier.

Good casting in that one, I thought (but then, TLJ is one of my favourite "actor's actors" so I could be biased lol.

Next up is an American film made after 1980. It is sort of a "buddy/action" movie with some crime involved and several funny scenes.

Gene Wilder in it?

Does it feature Bruce Willis?

Reply #6214. Jun 14 12, 6:11 PM

neither of those folks are in the movie. One of the stars is considered a "mega" actor because he's won more than one Oscar - even though he hasn't made a lot of movies recently.

Dragnet?

Reply #6216. Jun 14 12, 6:46 PM

No, but good guess. Tom Hanks is not in this movie either.
