Honiton Library , Let's Go To The Movies Quiz, C/D 07/01 Q24

[greensquares]

Q24 shows an actor either emerging or entering a still, deep blue sea with arms upstretched and open wide. His torso is naked and I can't see what he is wearing below the trouser line - merman, trousers, tail, shorts, nothing?

it may be a young Tom Hanks but I could be completely wrong there.

I would be grateful for any clues as to the name of the film please.

Sounds a bit like The Perfect Storm which I think starred Tom Hanks.

THanks Hazlinny but the actor is clean shaven and is looking exhilerated and showing a lot of teeth grimace? smile?

[Hazlinny]

What about "Castaway"?

A Stephen king film about a prison escape

Saw this earlier, now have the quiz & you asked for a clue rather than the answer, so to others, please don't answer unless greensquares is still stuck :-)

It's not Tom Hanks, but Tim Robbins in one of the greatest prison films ever made - imo, of course...

I think I've got it. saw the film but don't remember the actual scene which surprises me. Thanks bows13.

Lie-in King you can't clue me into no 19. Fairly sure actor is Tow Cruise but can't work out actress. I've tried the 3 films he made with Nicole Kidman but to no avail. I cannot find the still I need. So I wonder if it is another actress. I think he looks like he is military but I've tried top gun and Maverick. Maybe I'll try the one about honourable men.

[greensquares]

No I've got the Tom Cruise one but it wasn't what I expected at all. A hard and bitter movie

[Lie-in King]

Are you happy with your answer to 19? It's not Nicole Kidman, it's Valeria Golino...
