"Gone in 60 Seconds"? George

The Invisible Man? George

Con Air? George

Embarrassing, but I've still got nothing. George

One would think that a star lineup like that would be a giveaway. I'm just having trouble seeing Boris Karlov and Leonard Nimoy in the same role. Frankenstein's monster? George

That's a mistake I think we can all forgive. George

No idea. Sounds pretty funny! George

Didn't you do this one, before? I don't remember the answer, but the detectives' cars bit and the "coroner with an iron stomach" phrase seem AWFULLY familiar... George

It is. I saw it in college. It was pretty creepy, but it was well done. I saw "Gloria Bell" recently. Another upstanding, middle-class single woman getting into bad relationships with guys she meets at bars. As opposed to LFMG, though, GB was pointless. George

Interesting guess. I could envision Loki giving the second discourse. But, no. "I knew a man once who said, "Death smiles at us all. All a man can do is smile back."" "I wonder, did your friend smile at his own death?" "You must know. He was your father." "You loved my father, I know. But so did I. That makes us brothers, doesn't it? Smile for me now, brother." "My decision disappoints you?" "You wrote to me once, listing the four chief virtues: Wisdom, justice, fortitude and temperance. As I read the list, I knew I had none of them. But I have other virtues, father. Ambition. That can be a virtue when it drives us to excel. Resourcefulness, courage, perhaps not on the battlefield, but... there are many forms of courage. Devotion, to my family and to you. But none of my virtues were on your list. Even then it was as if you didn't want me for your son." "Are you not entertained? Are you not entertained? Is this not why you are here?" "Spaniard! Spaniard! Spaniard! …" "At my signal, unleash hell." George

Human, We used to have a thread called The Nostalgia Thread. It was sort of a "mash up" thread about old TV shows, etc. It was common for players who knew the answer to give other clues which showed they knew the answer, without actually giving it away. (Eventually, someone would give the answer, and the game would move on.) Raf does this in most of these threads. For example, he knows the answer to my "Movie Mash Up" challenge, but has refrained from answering, instead giving clues of his own. It's his way. George

Once I realized what the song was, I got the clue. I had just thought that Raf was being surly. George

You seem to be searching for something... George

A quick check with Google indicates that you are correct. Your turn. George

"I knew a man once who said, "Death smiles at us all. All a man can do is smile back."" "I wonder, did your friend smile at his own death?" "You must know. He was your father." "You loved my father, I know. But so did I. That makes us brothers, doesn't it? Smile for me now, brother." "My decision disappoints you?"

To paraphrase Bruce Banner, "Here's a secret. I'm ALWAYS hungry." (This was not a clue to the film.) George

This was the movie debut of Levar Burton and Brian Dennehy. There were also early roles for Tom Berenger and Richard Gere. The recent film "Gloria Bell" reminded me a lot of this film, though "Gloria Bell" was not nearly so dark in tone. Berenger said his role gave him nightmares. The star of this film is known more for her light comedic roles, though she also appeared in the Godfather films. The film was made and released about two years after its source novel. George

I know this song. I can even hear that phrase. I just can't remember the context. George

In a collection of essays called "All in Color for a Dime," published about 40 years ago, one of the essays was about the Marvel Family. Of course, back in the day, Freddy Freeman became Captain Marvel, Jr., not by saying, "Shazam" but by saying, "Captain Marvel." The author pointed out that Junior was the only super-hero who lost his powers if he said his name. Now, apparently, that can be said of Shazam. George

A slight diversion, but it doesn't deserve its own thread: an old friend of mine pointed out that in neither "Shazam" nor "Captain Marvel" is the name "Captain Marvel" actually said. In fact, it only appears in the credits of the latter movie. George

I didn't actually remember those lines. But telling someone just to run was a clue, and the army quote also seemed to fit. Back soon. George

Forrest Gump? George

No. This is Burton's first theatrical release, not including TV miniseries. George

This has been sitting a while. WW is up, if he wants it. George
