Stupidly hard work quiz (help!)

If anyone remembers previous years my work sets a stupidly hard quiz for us to have a go at every Christmas. This year's is no different....

I've managed to complete the first 8 puzzles myself but now I'm stuck Xmas Sad Very frustrating as I've got the gist of the puzzles but can't figure out what the answer is!

Here's the first one and here's my answers. If anyone can figure out the final answer (two words 5,7) I'd be ever so grateful 😊

Jude is also a film for AUT

Saisong · 08/12/2021 16:01

For the wrestling WHI I'm thinking it could be 'hold' which is a movie but not very blockbuster, but could be some other wrestling term e.g. Lock, grab etc

Cluckycluck · 08/12/2021 16:02

Questions I have so far are:
'Which film that stars two of the actors listed came out in nineteen ninety three?'

I then have two incomplete ones

'.re based on novels by the same author'
'Which other film starring another actor listed came o'

I'm left with:
And
Ame
Eya
Yea

Cluckycluck · 08/12/2021 16:02

Obviously that could all be completely wrong

Saisong · 08/12/2021 16:04

Seven of Nine YTH could be the film Seven?

SoupDragon · 08/12/2021 16:11

For the release date to be important, we need some more films before the 70s

SoupDragon · 08/12/2021 16:13

As an aside, my dog is thoroughly pissed off as he's not had his walk yet 😂

ChonkyDonkey · 08/12/2021 16:15

YEA is Notting Hill

suckingonchillidogs · 08/12/2021 16:20

@Saisong

Seven of Nine YTH could be the film Seven?
Or Seven Year Itch?
SoupDragon · 08/12/2021 16:22

Any ideas for the car EYA (first set of pictures)

FoxgloveSummers · 08/12/2021 16:23

sorry I'm shit at cars

SoupDragon · 08/12/2021 16:23

I think Seven of Nine is just Seven as that's what they called her in the programme.

SoupDragon · 08/12/2021 16:23

@FoxgloveSummers

sorry I'm shit at cars
Yeah... I can see it's a blue one but that's me out 😂😂
SoupDragon · 08/12/2021 16:24

Although it turns out there is a film called "blue car" 🤔

bettytaghetti · 08/12/2021 16:25

Is it an Escort?

ChonkyDonkey · 08/12/2021 16:27

EYA - Carousel (Ford)

Saisong · 08/12/2021 16:31

So going by previous we could have

WHICH FILM THAT STARS TWO OF THE ACTORS LISTED CAME OUT IN NINETEEN NINETY THREE ... AND WHICH OTHER FILMS ... (ER)ARE BASED ON THE NOVELS BY THE SAME AUTHOR

which leaves the following to fit in
YEA
RLI
STE
DCA
MEO
RIN
OTH
EYA
CTO
RTH
HES
AME
GAN
TAR

I've got to go put the bins out before it gets dark. Will be back...

SoupDragon · 08/12/2021 16:33

WHICH FILM THAT STARS TWO OF THE ACTORS LISTED...

That's quite vague though given the number of films! Some of those unused letters must add more to give clues to the film I would have thought.

bettytaghetti · 08/12/2021 16:34

@ChonkyDonkey

YEA is Notting Hill
Wasn't this the street used in Paddington the movie? (and also I think the new A Boy Called Christmas)
bettytaghetti · 08/12/2021 16:38

I'm thinking Apocalypse is one shrewd cookie; sets us off on this quest whilst she quietly gets on with her work! 😂

HoardingSamphireSaurus · 08/12/2021 16:43

YEAR LISTED CAMEO RINO THEY ACTOR THHE SAME GANTAR

Mmm!

FoxgloveSummers · 08/12/2021 16:48

Which actors are “listed”

ChonkyDonkey · 08/12/2021 16:48

Could GAN be the film Antz -1998. I'm assuming they are all people called Anthony/Antonia

ApocalypseNowt · 08/12/2021 16:59

Sorry! Am back!

Can't post any more photos today but RFI has Kim Basinger in the top left corner, Christina Aguillera (I think) in the top right then a picture of a city with a large cathedral at the bottom.

Could ARS be the film Sahara 2005? The co-ordinates 15,16,17N 18,19,20E take you to an area in Chad. I think technically the Sahara is a bit further North, but worth a thought.
