  1. Too bad. It sort of had the Graduate vibe with an older man and a younger woman (the opposite of The Graduate). So, it's a Jack Lemmon movie from 1969 with a breakout role for a young starlet. Still need more. George
  2. I just looked at Turner Classic Movies. On right now, a 1969 film featuring Walter Matthau and Goldie Hawn. Cactus Flower? George
  3. Chris Pratt The Magnificent Seven (2016) Denzel Washington George
  4. As will I. I have no idea who that is, so I'm pretty sure this actor hasn't played that character. George
  5. Molly Ringwald Teaching Mrs. Tingle Helen Mirren George
  6. But then there's this So, "old" couple or "odd" couple? Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon were "The Odd Couple"; this could be another of their movies. George
  7. I'm tempted to google 1969 movies. Even if not listed in box office order, it would be fairly easy to figure this one out. Sadly, I'm just not getting it yet. I was thinking "Funny Girl" (with Barbra Streisand); but that was 1968. George
  8. King Tut was the giveaway. New one soon. George
  9. I hate to see any of them go. You're right, though. It's hard to play with three. Where did Raf go? Even four is better. George
  10. If the band had many hits over several decades, I'm sure it wasn't "Both of You." WW wouldn't have made the "Lots. In multiple decades." remark if didn't know the actual name. So "Both of You" is a hint. The band must be U2. I don't know the song title. George
  11. I don't remember recording a set with Human, but, you know, drugs.... George
  12. I know I've heard that exchange. Can't recall the movie (right now). George
  13. I'm going to flip over the cards. If any of you were familiar with this show, the first clue would have given it away. The show is "The Chosen," about the early days of Jesus's ministry. It is well-written and acted, and is very engaging, never "preachy." Two seasons have been finished, so far. (The end of Season 2 is Jesus just getting ready to give his Sermon on the Mount.)) Most of the story line is in the Bible, but the Apostles' backstories are obviously embellished. The movie (at Christmastime) showed Mary and Joseph arriving in Bethlehem. There are also a few teachings (I found the one about the swaddling clothes particularly interesting) and a lot of music. You can watch it online: The Chosen Alternatively, you can download the ap to your phone and link to Roku on your TV. I HIGHLY recommend it. George
  14. Not getting it, though a more recent (than Wooly Bully) song with that opening seems vaguely familiar. Late 80s-early 90s? George
  15. Similar to the opening of Wooly Bully, but not it. George
  16. Burl Ives? George PS: I imagine there was at least a LITTLE gravitas to his WH Taft performance...
  17. This movie premiered at a length of 243 minutes. A week after the premiere, the film was reduced to 222 minutes, and edited further to 194 minutes for general release. The 194-minute version was the default broadcast television version for years; home video and cable television releases are of the full-length cut. This was originally intended to be two (consecutive) movies about the central character. Adjusted for inflation, this is one of the most expensive movies ever made. Its budget of $44 million is equivalent to over $400 million in 2021. The main character's navy required huge numbers of boats and ships. It was said at the time that Twentieth Century Fox had the world's third largest navy. George
  18. This current TV show is not on any network. In fact, you can't even use a streaming service until you first load the ap on your phone. The funding is completely crowd-sourced. Contributions are welcome, but not necessary. A movie featuring some of the characters had a limited distribution in theaters this past Christmas. The movie was about 30 minutes of plot/story and 60 minutes of musical numbers. The cast of characters is very familiar to most people on this website. A "period" show, it combines reasonable accuracy (except that all the actors speak English) but often uses 21st-century idioms, especially in lighter moments. A lot of the characters' backstories are embellished, as the source material is rather sparse in that regard. George
