The "The Call to Adventure" Round

 
 
 In the end I decided this round could be a straight steal from Martin White and the Mystery Fax Machine Orchestra's typically brilliant, self-directed music video for The Call To Adventure. It's the big opening number to their album "The Hero's Journey" on which I appear briefly as Richard Nixon, reading the speech written for if the moon landing had gone wrong. Identify the following films from the title screens below then – we always give the years now in the quiz – or, more fun still, press play on the video above and shout out what you know. Answers as ever will be in the comments.

1. (1968)
 
 
2. (1985)
 

3. (1959)

 
4. (1988)
