I think I was thinking about the sequel. It's possible I added names from the original. You're up. George

Good Times (?) George

When this movie came out, everyone told me "It really makes you think." That is the LAST thing I want in a movie, so I haven't seen it. Action? Yes. Comedy? Yes. Sex? Yes. But "thinking"? No. This is Chrissy Metz's (whoever THAT is) fifth saddest movie of all time. For her role in this film, the star became the one and only Best Actress Oscar winner to produce and direct a Best Picture nominated film. (Taken from IMDb, this statement is awkwardly phrased. The actress won Best Actress for a different film. Though nominated for several, including Best Picture, this movie garnered no Oscars.) One of the main characters is a world class violinist. The actor portraying him did not play violin but watched two professionals perform the piece he would play in the film. Then he "finger-synched" the piece almost perfectly. A week after this movie opened wide in North America on Christmas of 1991, the star phoned a Columbia Pictures executive at 7:00 A.M. New Year's Day demanding that a hedge on Sunset Blvd needed trimming. It wasn't blocking the film title but obscuring her "Directed by" credit on the billboard. Chris O'Donnell, who would soon become a star in Scent of a Woman, won the role of the star's teenage son, Bernard, but Pat Conroy didn't think he was right. Looking through photos of other young actors, he picked one out, telling the star that she should hire him instead. The actor was the star's own son. It's about dealing with suicide. George

Close on the year. Way off on the locale. George

Sam Jones 10 Julie Andrews George

"Took a walk and passed your house, late last night..." George

I believe that's "All Star." Not on my usual playlist, but I have heard it several times recently. George

Well, the site was down for one of them. I've actually seen (or heard, as a voice actor) him in a number of films. George

Kevin Bacon is correct. Chip Diller was his role in Animal House; Ren McCormack in Footloose George

"The Battle of the Sexes" had Billie Jean King beat Bobby Riggs in straight sets. When and where did this take place? Just give the year, not the exact date, unless you remember it. George

Even if we had 26 players working on this, I doubt anyone would have gotten it. George I have an easier one, if I may take a turn.

Not Randy Quaid. More famous. George

I believe the sequel also had both. But the first one did, for certain, George

I can only think of two movies with Will Ferrell and Christina Applegate... George

Green Lantern Mark Strong Kingsman: The Secret Service George

I thought I added some names. This (famous) actor is easy to recognize from the movies he appeared in, but not necessarily from his roles in those films. OK, then. Chip Diller Timothy Fenwick, Jr. Ren McCormack Jack Casey Jake Briggs Valentine McKee David Labraccio Willie O'Keefe Capt. Jack Ross George

So, I watched it (in several sections). What an odd and abrupt ending. Why did Judy fall out the window? Even if the nun startled her, why was she by the open window in the first place? She was afraid of Scottie; I'd expect her to be cowering in a corner. And we never know what happens to Scottie. Is he brought up on charges, this time? What happens in the European version? Does Judy not fall, and is Gavin Elster arrested? George (Back to the current thread in a minute...)

Actually, I DO know. I Got You Babe "Left a good job in the city..." George

It's interesting that you say marathoners have this IN their feet, not ON their feet. Sounds like "pain," which could also be hard to describe if it didn't exist. But that has nothing to do with American Presidents or basketball's GOAT. George

I'm not sure it's tougher, technically, because my recognition of either is zero. George

"Vertigo" is showing tonight on Turner Classic Movies (TCM). I'm recording it. George
