1. #6 Jaws - Martha's Vineyard? nt

[CTyankee]

2. Of course! Hooray for you, sufrommich!

Do you know the Vineyard?

[taterguy]

27. For chrissakes, Jaws took place off Amity Island which doesn't exist

Martha's Vineyard just happened to be the filming location.

Feh on you.

[CTyankee]

30. No, the real place was Martha's Vineyard. You are right that Amity Island is not real,

however, my intent was where was the REAL place in the film. It had to be shot SOMEWHERE, right?

[JHB]

38. I happened to be in Edgartown when it was dressed up as "Amity" for filming...

...on a vacation when I was a little kid.

The kicker is that I'm from...Amityville, which Peter Benchley had fictionalized into a more Hampton-esque location in the book (and which actually had been one in the early 20th century).

Of course, that other book and movie(s) can rot in hell...

[CTyankee]

40. A family member is lucky enough to have a summer place in Chappy.

So I have gotten familiar with the Vineyard. I absolutely love Edgartown. They had a big celebration on the 25th anniversary of "Jaws" a couple of years ago, IIRC...

39. I've heard the terror from that girl was pretty much not acting so much as director forced.

They jerked her under water, and whipped her around without cuing her as to exactly when it would happen.

It actually did panic her more than a little even though she knew it was going to happen.

I can still barely watch that scene. The panic in her voice is just too real.

[CTyankee]

41. That's interesting...good thing that poor actress didn't have a heart attack!

[alphafemale]

42. At least she didn't have to sleep with that drunken frat boy hangin' with local kids for the weekend

:hide:

[CTyankee]

43. Oy!

[joeybee12]

3. Two is...

Florence, A Room with a View.

[CTyankee]

8. Ah, yes, that final scene...lovely...

[randr]

4. Orient Express-Istanbul

[CTyankee]

7. It is not the Orient Express. However,

you get half a point...

[randr]

10. Midnight Express?

[CTyankee]

11. nay.

[WinkyDink]

13. Number?

[joeybee12]

5. 5 is...

fromt he latest Indy debacle, which is so bad I can't recall the supposed location this was shot!

[nxylas]

6. First one looks like the West of England

Certainly the train is in the livery of the Great Western Railway. I'm guessing the North Devon coast, just from appearance. Westward Ho! perhaps, from Charles Kingsley's novel of the same name? I hope so, as that's where my maternal grandmother was born.

[CTyankee]

9. not Kinglsey.

[WinkyDink]

12. #4 = Central Park. "The Catcher in the Rye"?

[CTyankee]

14. You are just too good!

Do you know the selection?

[WinkyDink]

16. When he's ice-skating with the girl?

[CTyankee]

17. Well, as I recall, it is when he is worrying about the ducks freezing in the winter...

I was originally going to use a pic of the carousel in Central Park, same book, but this just piqued my long ago interest in the novel...

[WinkyDink]

18. Heh. It's been a while......

[CTyankee]

20. TELL me about it! I don't even want to THINK about how long ago I read this book.

But it was nice to revisit it for this little quiz...

[WinkyDink]

15. #1 = Dartmouth. "The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sailor_Who_Fell_from_Grace_with_the_Sea

[CTyankee]

19. you get a half point...

[Manifestor_of_Light]

21. #2 is Florence Cathedral.

[CTyankee]

22. Yes, you can see it from this room with a view...

[WinkyDink]

23. #5 = Yale. "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull."

[CTyankee]

25. Ah, I remember the traffic tie up when that shot was made well...

I never saw the movie. New Haven was a mess. Drove us all nuts...as a result, I had no desire to see the movie...

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

24. #3 Under The Tuscan Sun?

[CTyankee]

26. sorry, no...

[Bluerthanblue]

28. is #1

the Dartmouth-steam train- 'English Riviera', which inspired Agatha Christie's 'Murder on the Orient Express"?

I'm guessing this based on the half points. :+

[CTyankee]

29. Another half point...as you can see...what could we possibly be pointing to?

[suffragette]

32. Is it "The Great Train Robbery"?

[Bluerthanblue]

35. I'm stumped...

- :hi:

[CTyankee]

37. You've come SO close to this...

it is indeed the Dartmouth steam train!

See full listing of answers which I am posting shortly...mystery will be solved!

[CTyankee]

31. So, number 3, folks?

[horseshoecrab]

34. #3

Hi CTyankee and everybody!

#3 is Bar Vitelli in Savoca (Sicily) from The Godfather II

[CTyankee]

36. I am so amazed that it took so long! I thought this one would have been guessed immediately!

You never can tell, can you? But, then, I have to confess that I am a Godfather freak...I've seen every one of them more times than I'd like to admit...

Actually, it's from Godfather I. I am wondering who could forget the wedding segment of that movie...I think it was with this film that I decided I just HAD to go to Sicily (I wasn't disappointed when I finally DID go!).

:hi:

[randr]

33. So #1 is Murder on the Orient Express, but where?

Wild guess--Cherkeskoy, Turkey
