Cryptic Films

Hate to say it fellas, but I think you need to dumb your clues down a bit. Am finding your parsing pretty hard, even though I’m a fairly avid crossword solver.

Sorry Dex, you’re right but I think it’s partly that we’ve already covered a lot of the well known or successful films and it’s getting harder to find straightforward clues for the rest. However I’ll try and the next one is slightly different:

Next:

The Reverend Spooner’s description of a Scot living in the stationmaster’s accommodation?

This is a 1950s musical drama…

Jailhouse Rock?

You’ve got it PR. A spoonerism of Railhouse Jock.

Over to you…

Thanks Amac
Fair point Dextrous.
Next: 4by4 hold up?

Apparantly a remake of a 1977 film.

Sorry thought this would be guessed sooner. Two word title- you’re looking for synonym for hold up and an answer for 4by4.

Black Panther?

No - not Black Panther. The 1977 film starred Clint Eastwood.

16 blocks.

Yes Amac. 4by4 or 4x4 and synonym of hold up

OK, thanks PR. Next:

Cabaret singer’s starring part in New Year Thursday night show?

This is actually a fairly straightforward crossword type clue although some extra words have been added so it makes sense as a sentence. There’s also a hint about one of its stars. This film led to an unlikely first Oscar for a knight of the realm.

Arthur.

You’ve got it PR.

Cabaret singer’s starring - Liza Minelli

part in New YearThursday night show?

Thanks Amac
Next: It sounds like this man cleared his debts?

A war film based on a true story nominated for 2 Oscars.

Lone Survivor?

That’s it Amac. Sounds like loan survivor.
