Cryptic Films

Thanks Arena. Next one:

Insult about grass becomes a newspaper story.

The clue covers the title of the film and the content…

I thought this film was excellent but apparently it didn’t make much money for a Best Picture winner at the Oscars.

Green Book

Not Green Book. The first part of the clue is crossword type - the end refers to film content…

Spotlight

Well done Devo. (Slight “about” Pot). Very good film.

Over to you…

Upset? Either chat or watch this film.

The Charioteer

Looks like a good try Arena but seems to be a book rather than a film and not quite an anagram of “either chat or“. I think we might need a clue here Devo…

You are on the right lines.
This British film of the 80s was a flop but I remember quite enjoying it. It includes a rare, possibly unique, acting performance by a now dead rock star.

Devo if it’s Eat the Rich I’m wondering whether Paul McCartney, Bill Wyman or Shane McGowan have died without me noticing…

It is Eat The Rich and Lemmy of Motorhead fame had a role in the film and provided most of the soundtrack.

I haven’t seen it but sounds like an interesting cast…

Next one:

Superficially solemn.

This film won Best British Film at the BAFTAs and was the debut film for a well known British director.

Shallow Grave

Great to have you back Dex :023:

It’s all yours…

Ta.

How Lyudmila Skripal might have described her husband?

The spy who loved me?

Of course;-) Over to you.
