  1. That's not quite right. I'm not sure if "Murphy's Law" was an attempt at humor or an honest mistake. George
  2. Of course. Very well-known, easily recognizable actor, but only one iconic role (Rhett Butler). George
  3. 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
  4. 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
  5. 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. George
  6. Star Wars 2 Temuera Morrison Green Lantern George
  7. It took a while, but I do remember one... Silent Movie Mel Brooks History of the World, Part I George
  8. "Addams Family." Fester and Gomez dance a Mamushka. George
  9. That's the movie and the scene. Woody and Diane were part of a resistance against an overbearing government. The Fearless Leader had died, but they saved his nose for cloning. After trying to sneak off with the nose failed, Woody held it hostage, George
  10. I suppose that the added "districts" is significant, but it doesn't ring any bells. George
  11. The Towering Inferno was PG and released in 1974. Though I could see Newman in the lead for this film, I can't see Brando. The actual star has done many movies, but he's better known for his TV roles. George
  12. Prime Cut Lee Marvin The Dirty Dozen George
  13. With Rick Moranis and Ellen Greene singing, that must be "Little Shop of Horrors." It's been a long time since I've seen it, so I'm not sure what's happening on screen. George

  15. The latter part might be GAME of Thrones, which means the former part is a movie, likely ending in "Game." Ender's Game of Thrones? George
  16. Batman v Superman Diane Lane Six Pack George
  17. Alan Rickman Galaxy Quest Sam Rockwell George
  18. Telly Savalas On Her Majesty's Secret Service Diana Rigg George
  19. Correct. Actually, Van Damme was a TIMEcop. WW is up.
  20. In this movie, a space cop finds out that ground up (dead) people are being used for food. George
