  1. Probably pretty high. I saw it recently on cable, and they do tend to play the same movies several times a month (especially since there aren't any NEW movies). George
  2. It wasn't their biggest hit (by a long shot); but it did pretty well. George
  3. I had heard it. Some of the lines I could "hear" in my head. The current song is from the early 70's. Husband and wife team. I had SUCH a crush on her... George
  4. Correct. The Empire's space ship "transformed" into a giant maid robot, to remove the atmosphere from a planet. Shortly thereafter, it would go "from suck to blow." George
  5. Heath Ledger Monsters Ball Halle Berry George
  6. Body Heat Kathleen Turner War of the Roses George
  7. Right. And the opening song was "Welcome Back" by John Sebastian. George
  8. Yes. "That's Incredible" + "(The) Incredible Mr. Limpet" You're up.
  9. Conspiracy Theory Julia Roberts Erin Brockovich George
  10. Carnal Knowledge Ann-Margret Tommy George
  11. Nibbling on bacon Chewing on cheese Sam says to Suzie Honey, would you please be my Mrs Suzie says yes with her kisses Now, he's tickling her fancy Rubbing her toes Muzzle to muzzle Now anything goes as they wriggle Sue starts to giggle George
  12. Seabiscuit Tobey Maguire The Cider House Rules George
  13. In this TV movie, real people do strange things, including a man turning into a fish. George
  14. Groucho Marx was to make a cameo appearance in the episode "Sadie Hawkins Day". The planned scene was the star doing his frequent impression of Marx, then Marx appearing with his reaction. But when the 86-year-old Marx arrived on the set, it was decided that he was too weak to perform and the scene was scrapped. Marx posed for publicity photos with the cast but they were never released due to his frail appearance. The original title of the series was to be simply a single word (the main character's name); but that was before the composer had difficulty writing the theme song lyrics. He couldn't find enough rhyming words for the title. Giving up on that tack, he decided to compose lyrics that illustrated the premise of the show (a man returning to his home town). The producers were so impressed with the song that they decided to change the series title to include the song's title. The song was also released on a single which went to #1 on the charts. George
  15. "I'm in love for the last time in my life." "I'm in love for the first time in my life." "Stay to supper?" "I won't do that unless I'm still here at breakfast." "How do you like your eggs?" (Putting candles on a birthday cake) "Okay, what is it? How old are you?" "Just set the damn thing on fire!" "My friends have overlooked my shortcomings, seen me through some dark days, and brightened up the rest of them. I'm glad to have them; I'm honored to have them; I'm lucky to have them. " "You are a miserable little son of a bitch, you know that? I don't know why she took you in the house... I'd bed you down with the dogs! And I'll tell you something else, mister, you may be a lot younger and stronger, but you're about to get your a$$ kicked from here to the state line... and I'm wearin' the boots that can do it!" "You're a feisty old booger, aren't ya." "I thought we just settled that!" "I'm a widower. That's like catnip to a cat, in a town where the ladies outnumber you ten to one." George
  16. But when I gave the name of his characters in The Misfits (Gay Langland) and It Happened One Night (Peter Warne), you didn't recognize them. I really enjoyed IHON, but I couldn't tell you the character's name. But say "Rhett Butler," and everyone knows who it is. George
  17. That's not quite right. I'm not sure if "Murphy's Law" was an attempt at humor or an honest mistake. George
  18. Of course. Very well-known, easily recognizable actor, but only one iconic role (Rhett Butler). George
  19. I wouldn't refer to Terms of Endearment as a "May-December" story. More like "November-December." Raf's post was a clue to the identity of the female lead. George
  20. Jack Thornton Christian Peter Warne Duke Bradley Chris Hunter Rhett Butler Gay Langland Cmdr. "Rich" Richardson Victor Marswell Devereaux Burke Flint Mitchell Victor Albee Norman Gerald Meldrick Hank Lee James Gannon Steve Fisk Mike Brannan "Candy" Johnson George
  21. Not Die Hard. See the fourth clue, below. Another May-December story. Columbia Pictures really wanted Marlon Brando to star in this film, for his "box office allure", even though he hadn't been in a film since 1980. The director and the female lead, however, insisted on the actor who would get the part being in this film, resulting in his only Academy Award nomination. (He didn't win.) Paul Newman was also considered for the lead. Reportedly, apparently the Columbia Pictures studio did not want to make the movie at all because it had no "sex or violence" in it. The female lead once said on the A&E television show Biography that her kissing scene with the star in this picture was the best on-screen kiss she had ever had. One of the few films to successfully appeal its MPAA rating. In a pivotal scene with the star, "Bobby Jack" asks him if he and "Emma" have been "f******". The MPAA "automatic language rule" normally does not allow even a single instance of a "sexually derived" vulgarity, in a sexual context, in a PG-13 release. The female lead had won two Academy Awards before this film, but she was not nominated for one for this film. The film was originally scheduled for general release during the 1985 Christmas Day weekend, but Columbia moved it to the weekends of January 17 and January 31, 1986, when they saw the holiday lineup of films. They did a limited, selected, release December 25, 1985. The character finally admits he's 60. The star, at the time, was actually 57. According to the Wikipedia website, part of the deal from the Columbia Pictures, which at that time was owned by The Coca-Cola Company, included an eight line sequence of the female and male leads saying the word "Coke" and also having Coke signs appear prominently in the film.
