September Hollywood's Finest Movie Challenge

Post by aheatfan »

Posting a couple days early because we are going on a little weekend getaway. 

How on Earth is it September already???  I really feel like I just packed the Christmas stuff away and its almost time to take it back out again. I need time to slooooow down!!

We are in month 2 of our new challenge, this one will still involve a love of movies and those that make them. Those that lead us on a momentary escape from our daily life. The actors that make us laugh, cry, anger, and cheer.  Each month we will focus on the work of one actor/actress.  There will be three options each month. You may do each option or just one, your choice.  In the past you were permitted to "find" a movie, now you many ONLY use the options given here!!  They must be used EXACTLY AS IS!!!!

This challenge has a limit of 3 ENTRIES.  You may only do ONE from each category for a total of 3, For example- you cannot do two posters and one quote, you may only do one poster, one quote and one title to reach 3 entries.  Any questions - please ask!

This month we will be focusing on the amazing work of Robert DeNiro, one of my favorite actors. In my opinion, he is one of the absolute best,  He can do intensely serious to laugh out loud funny movies with great talent. He has portrayed so many memorable characters.  As everyone here probably knows already (ad nauseum) that my favorite movie is The Wizard of Oz. My second favorite of all time is...The Godfather, one and two, with a preference for two. Let's not discuss # 3.   I would love to know your favorite DeNiro movie as well  Image


Option # 1 - Movie Poster Inspiration 
You may gather inspiration from ONE of the movie posters below.  It does not have to be exact obviously but I must be able to see the inspiration. Here are your options. Please state which poster you used in your post.

Option 2 - Movie Quotes
You may use one of these quotes either as your title or somewhere on the page. IT MUST BE USED EXACTLY AS IS!!! YOU DO NOT HAVE TO PUT THE NAME OF THE MOVIE.

1. "Oh boy, you don't know how fast time goes by until you get there" - The Irishman

2. "You're happy, I'm happy" - Godfather 2

3. "I'm bound for the Promised Land" - Cape Fear

4. "You talking to me?" - Taxi Driver

5. "There are 3 ways of doing things around here. The right way, the wrong way and the way that I do it." - Casino

6. "Never rat on your friends, and always keep your mouth shut." - Goodfellas

7.  "You never got me down" - Raging Bull

8. "A good plan today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow." - Wag the Dog

9. "When life reaches out with a moment like this, It's a sin if you don't reach back." - Silver Linings Playbook

10. "The Saddest thing in life is wasted talent." - Bronx Tale

11. "I'll make him an offer he don't refuse" - Godfather 2 (Yes, this is correct, it is how DeNiro said it not Brando)


Option #3 - Movie Title

You may use one of these titles as the TITLE of your layout - IT MUST BE USED EXACTLY AS IS!!  No other Robert DeNiro movie titles will be allowed for this option. Here are your choices:

1. The Young Wolves
2. The Wedding Party
3. Born to Win
4. The Godfather
5. Taxi Driver
6. New York, New York
7. True Confessions
8. Angel Heart
9. This Boy's Life
10. Men of Honor
11. The Score
12 .Heat
13. Goodfellas

Must be a NEW layout, paper or digital, single or double page. Layouts only. All entries should be entered on this thread. 
You can combine with ONE other challenge that allows it. 
*You may make more than one entry but each page MUST be from a different category. LIMIT 3 ENTRIES. 
Please LINK your work here. Deadline is September 30, 2024. A random winner from all entries done correctly will be selected for a $5.00 ACOT gift card from me

Here is my example - I'm a bit short on time with the opening of school so ....full Disclosure- mine are not new, but yours MUST be.

Love DeNiro movies.  I was hoping that Heat was on the list.  First one that came to mind for a summer LO.  You have two very handsome brothers!

I love DeNiro!  He definitely makes a good gangster, but I'm a fan of his comedy too -- Meet the Parents, Analyze This, etc.
Question... was Goodfellas supposed to be one of the title choices?
