  1. Henry V? Patrick Stewart "sorta" played him when Picard portrayed him with Data on a holodeck. George
  2. The problem is that both Superman and Batman (and, I believe, Captain Marvel) were in films before their TV shows. Unless you're not counting serials. Captain America? I think there was a TV show in the mid 60s. George
  3. Welch was also the lead in Kansas City Bomber, but I wouldn't call that a major motion picture, either. Or Hannie Caulder. Or Fathom. Welch was only 24 when One Million Years BC was released, so it's unlikely she would have been replaced by a much younger actress in an even EARLIER film. This film was about 20 years after One Million Years BC. She was about the same age as the male lead (slightly older, actually). It was a very different dynamic with her replacement. George
  4. Star Trek TOS would meet SOME of these requirements: Long time from TV to film (only 15 years, though, not 25). Kirk was in at least 10 films, including the reboots. There was one animated series I'm aware of but not an animated film. Also, AFIK, no one from TOS was a von Trapp in SOM. And Jim Kirk was not a TITLE character in any of the movies. The TV show has to be post-SOM, so at least 1965. It couldn't be much later than that, because 25 years later began a string of 11 films. I just don't know. George
  5. You would think that I should be able to figure out a movie with Tom Cruise and Kurt Russell (not to mention Cameron Diaz and Penelope Cruz), but I'm not getting it. George
  6. With Colin Firth and in light of all the WW II movies now, I'll guess George VI George
  7. The Presidio Mark Harmon Summer School George
  8. Thanks for throwing Colin Firth in there, or I wouldn't know whether we were looking for a role or an actor. George
  9. Wall Street Darryl Hannah Splash! George
  10. Raquel Welch was offered the second lead in this film. Though she had had starring roles, this would have been her first lead in a major motion picture. She even, reluctantly, agreed to do a nude scene. She was later fired and replaced by a much younger actress. Welch sued for breach of contract, and eventually won over 20 million dollars. Interestingly, her replacement did NOT have a nude scene in this movie (even though she had been nude in an earlier movie and would do nude scenes later, as well). The movie is based on a famous novel by an American author. It also includes elements from its not-so-famous sequel. The male lead told Rolling Stone magazine during production that he was a fan of the author's work. He also admitted to having to wear a girdle to flatten his belly. In the interview, he called the girdle a "Richard Dreyfuss special". George
  11. Saving Mr. Banks Emma Thompson Johnny English Strikes Again George
  12. Ummm….no. Welch's view was that they hired her to attract investors and then fired her after the money was lined up. However, that was pretty much the result. The filmmakers lost $20M, and we lost what might have been Welch's only nude scene. (Welch actually made more from the lawsuit than the film made.) George

  14. Indeed. I was tempted to go with "Khaaaaaaannnnn!!!" but I don't think it would have fooled anybody. George
  15. The Robert Blake movie was probably "In Cold Blood". The movie about it may have been "Capote." George
  16. OMG. That really WAS awful. Not frightening, not funny. Just BAD. George
  17. I was unfamiliar with I was unfamiliar with this reference. Apparently a Billy Joel song. Anyway, yes, JFK George
  18. Perhaps the name of the person portrayed? George
  19. Lara Croft: Tomb Raider Angelina Jolie Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow George
  20. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." "An Arabic proverb attributed to a prince who was betrayed and decapitated by his own subjects." "Well, still, it's a hell of a quote." "I'm scared... help me not to be... how do you choose not to feel?" "I do not know. Right now, I am failing." "I wanted you to know why I couldn't let you die... why I went back for you..." "Because you are my friend." "Tell me, are you feeling homicidal, power-mad, despotic?" "No more than usual." George
