  1. I have heard of the movie, but really know nothing about it (except, of course, some of the actors -- now). George
  2. The Deer Hunter Meryl Streep A Prairie Home Companion George
  3. "Hey! It's me." "Prove it!" "You're a dick." "Okay." "He's not one of us. There's no way he's going to take orders." "Give him an order worth following. He'll take it." "Does it ever wake you in the middle of the night? The feeling that one day they will pass that foolish law or one just like it, and come for you? And your children?" "It does, indeed." George
  4. The Hobbit (any one) Ian McKellen The DaVinci Code George
  5. Movies longer than three hours tend to be serious dramas (biographies like Gandhi and Malcom X or epic tales like Ben-Hur or Lord of the Rings). This one is quite different. Stan Laurel was offered a cameo role but refused, as he had promised never to work again after the death of Oliver Hardy. The role went to Jack Benny. At the time this film was made, there were about 100 stunt performers in America. 80 of them were used in this film. The film was so crammed with action that each leading actor was given two scripts: one for the dialogue and one for physical comedy. For the intermission of the premiere engagement at the Cinerama Dome in Hollywood, the filmmakers recorded messages supposedly sent over police radios describing what was happening to various characters. These messages were played not only in the auditorium during the intermission but at the concession stand and even in the bathrooms. The diector asked Buster Keaton to perform one of his signature bits, moving two steps forward then one back before racing away from whatever was threatening him. Even in his 60s the comedian was as spry as he had been in his prime. George
  6. You're So Vain (Not the first line) "She gimme love and I feel alright now..." George
  7. The only two movies I can think of with Jessica Tandy are Driving Miss Daisy and Cocoon, and none of the other actors were in them. George
  8. Possibly a Sherlock Holmes film, but there are so many... George
  9. The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen? George
  10. I Think We're Alone Now "Slow down, you move too fast; you got to make the morning last." George
  11. I don't know about Dylan Walsh, but Griffith and Willis were in The Bonfire of the Vanities (?) George
  12. I find that that's usually the case, with the exception of one or two iconic roles. Take Harrison Ford. Boatloads of movies, but other than Indiana Jones and Han Solo, I couldn't name another character he's played, though I could list several movies. George
  13. OK, nobody (but me) watched "Martial Law." FREE POST George
  14. Reminds me of "Natural Woman," but that's not it. George
  15. In this thread, you need to get the artist as well as the title. To my knowledge, Stealers Wheel did not record this song. George
