  1. The Presidio Mark Harmon Summer School George
  2. Thanks for throwing Colin Firth in there, or I wouldn't know whether we were looking for a role or an actor. George
  3. Wall Street Darryl Hannah Splash! George
  4. 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
  5. Saving Mr. Banks Emma Thompson Johnny English Strikes Again George
  6. 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

  8. Indeed. I was tempted to go with "Khaaaaaaannnnn!!!" but I don't think it would have fooled anybody. George
  9. The Robert Blake movie was probably "In Cold Blood". The movie about it may have been "Capote." George
  10. OMG. That really WAS awful. Not frightening, not funny. Just BAD. George
  11. I was unfamiliar with I was unfamiliar with this reference. Apparently a Billy Joel song. Anyway, yes, JFK George
  12. Perhaps the name of the person portrayed? George
  13. Lara Croft: Tomb Raider Angelina Jolie Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow George
  14. "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
  15. I don't think I could pick Spall or Milicevic out in a lineup. And I can't think of a movie with Galecki in it. Hopefully, at least a couple of these actors have major roles in the film. George
  16. At least, as far as I know, no women have played this role. :-) George
  17. The first line, I believe, was from another Bond movie. The only one with ONE "other fellow" would be On Her Majesty's Secret Service. George
  18. A father of two, actually. Martin Sheen Greg Kinnear James Franciscus Patrick Dempsey Stephen Collins Bruce Greenwood Cliff Robertson William Devane William Petersen Tim Matheson Brett Stimely Rob Lowe George
  19. I don't recognize a single line. I have to point out, though. that I danced to a lot of tunes without actually listening to the words. So I can't say that I haven't heard this one. George
  20. Grace Kelly was, indeed, in Dial M for Murder. George
  21. I forgot that Anne Bancroft was in it. I knew Patty Duke was, but I couldn't think of another movie she was in. George
  22. Yes. The swamp was where everyone regrouped after being routed by the British. Spacey would have played Tavington. I was counting on Jason Isaacs not being a readily recognizable name (though he has been in several TV shows, including, apparently, Star Trek Discovery). George
