Escape from New York. As in "who is Snake Pliskin?)
Yes! Robin & Marian (1976) is a different take on the Robin Hood legend. We see an older, more tired Robin (Sean Connery) who's reunited with Maid Marian (Audrey Hepburn), after an absence of a few years. Some people complain that the film lacks vitality but I think it was written to be a more thoughtful production, less emphasis on action.
Yes! Rear Window (1954). Rear Window is one of the best Alfred Hitchcock movies. Released in 1954 and considered a cult film and one of the ten best mystery films in film history. Rear Window is based on the short story It Had to Be Murder and was nominated for several major awards thanks to its brilliant script and 'master of suspense' direction.
A Lee Marvin (1979) thriller was pretty good in its own way - called Avalanche Express. Filmed in Ireland, there are some decent action set-pieces and good photography. The cast is an effective one and it includes Robert Shaw, Linda Evans, Mike Connors and Maximillan Schell. The production was affected by two separate tragedies. Both director Mark Robson and Robert Shaw passed away before filming was complete.
Robert Mitchum film, Farewell My Lovely (1975). He gives one of his best performances, playing Philip Marlowe as a tired, disillusioned and not so young private investigator.
Maureen O’Hara and Natalie Wood on the set of, “Miracle on 34th Street” released in theaters in June 1947. This film would go on to win three Oscars and become a true Christmas classic. Human Desire' is a 1954 film noir directed by Fritz Lang and starring Glenn Ford, Gloria Grahame, and Broderick Crawford. The film tells the story of Jeff Warren (Ford), a train engineer and Korean War veteran who returns to his hometown and becomes involved in a love triangle with Vicki Buckley (Grahame), the unhappy wife of his co-worker Carl Buckley (Crawford). Carl is a violent and jealous man who forces Vicki to help him murder his boss after he is fired.
Swashbuckler (1976) - starring Robert Shaw. A pirate and a hot-tempered noblewoman join forces to protect Jamaica from a tyrant.
I don't know about most of the cast but Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell got along pretty well. After filming Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953), they became good friends and would socialise quite regularly.
Treasure of Matecume (1976). Starring Joan Hackett. Talented and beautiful, loved her voice! In 1869 Kentucky, a young boy and his friends set out to find a treasure chest hidden by his late father in the Florida Everglades during the Civil War.
Force Ten from Navarone (1978). Robert Shaw. During World War II, several oddly assorted military experts are teamed in a mission to raid and destroy a bridge vital to enemy strategy.
Bzzzt. Foul. If it's an "on the set" picture, i.e. a production still, then it's not a picture (scene) from the movie.

"Westward Ho The Wagons" (1956) American Western film starring Fess Parker and Kathleen Crowley and produced by Walt Disney Productions.I didn’t know Norm McDonald did any westerns…
Correct! Actor Doug Hutchinson as sadistic prison guard Percy Wetmore. ”The Green Mile”/1999 enjoys aggravating prisoners. Percy deliberately sabotages an execution by not soaking a sponge in water before putting on a prisoner’s head while in the electric chair. The prisoner suffers an agonizing death by literally frying to death while in the chair.
The actor from the movie 'The Client' won several awards, but on a personal level he was destroyed. Brad Renfro was one of the greatest acting promises in Hollywood during the 90s his adolescence was marked by memorable performances in films that at the time were quite prominent in the seventh art industry.
This is "Thirst for Evil" (1958), a film starring Orson Welles and Charlton Heston. This cop movie is also a critique of racism, set on the border with Mexico. This scenario serves to exemplify the confrontation between a Mexican police officer and an American one, due to the former's marriage to an Anglo-Saxon woman. And it is that, moved by jealousy and xenophobia, the American will try to incriminate his southern counterpart in a dirty drug case.
"The Professionals" (1966). Richard Brooks's film starring Burt Lancaster, Lee Marvin, and Robert Ryan. A group of mercenaries is commissioned by an American potentate to rescue his wife, kidnapped by a Mexican bandit.
"One Of Our Dinosaurs is Missing" (1979) with the late Sir Peter Ustinov.
