Okay guys, I believe you need some hints:

#1-Super Mario wasn't born when the movie was made;
#2-The movie is based around a universal acclaimed book;
#3-The actress depicted is considered one of the most beautiful of all time and she's still alive and kicking;
#4-A donkey stars in the movie;
#5-The leading actor is Irish-born raised in Leeds, England.

Man of La Mancha starring Sophia Loren & Peter O'Toole

Edit: Although Eric obviously knew that as well and was just too shy to outrightly say so.

It was only just my turn! I don't want to hog the game!

Tibatonk · Wed 02/10/2013 04:38:18

Hope I'm not breaking any rules by not waiting for Miguel's official okay:

Is that a harpoon?!

Captain Ahab Goes West?

Tibatonk · Wed 02/10/2013 04:44:09

It is, yes (a harpoon, not Captain Ahab Goes West).

Ponch · Wed 02/10/2013 04:46:16

Have Queequeg, Will Travel?

Eric · Wed 02/10/2013 05:28:58

Oh c'mon. Now you're just tempting me to hog the game. This is my favorite American western.

Ponch · Wed 02/10/2013 05:54:11

The Good, The Bad, and The Pequod?

miguel · Wed 02/10/2013 11:27:00

El Rio Loco & The Magnificent Bravos?

Is that Dean Martin on the second shot?

Ben X · Wed 02/10/2013 15:05:08

A Fist Full Of Spears?

Tibatonk · Wed 02/10/2013 16:23:47

Nope, no Dean Martin being harpooned here.

LUniqueDan · Wed 02/10/2013 17:16:59

National Harpoon's Gold Digger ?

One of the Singin' Sandy Movies?? I know I saw this recently (last year) with my grandfather

Billy the Kid maybe... damn I wish I could remember!

Tibatonk · Wed 02/10/2013 23:43:48

No, no singing cowboys either.

But Singin' Sandy Saunders provides a nice segue to my next clue: Try alliterations.

FYI: The writer of this film was a victim of the HUAC blacklist.

Tibatonk · Thu 03/10/2013 01:41:26

And its star had named names before the Committee a few years prior to shooting this movie.

Eric · Thu 03/10/2013 01:53:33

And was an agent of the OSS during WWII!

The most famous one (to me anyway) was Dalton Trumbo...

Nice hints guys, I'll go for Tron.
