  1. "What? Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!" George
  2. Don Cheadle Philip Seymour Hoffman Julianne Moore George
  3. Remarkably, Burt Reynolds has only been nominated once for an Academy Award. It was for Best Supporting Actor for which movie? He did not win. For extra credit, can you name the actor who DID win that year, and for which movie? George
  4. This biopic about a singer had the lead role offered to Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Cruise, Bruce Willis, and Johnny Depp. None of them would likely have done their own singing, but the actor who finally got the part did (and quite well, IMHO). The movie is also a love story. The actual couple were only a few years apart in age, but the actors were over 20 years apart. The actor playing the lead was actually a few years older than the actual singer was when he died. The singer's crush/girlfriend/wife was a famous movie star. She died of kidney cancer two months after the movie was released. Drew Barrymore was considered for the role, but it went to Kate Bosworth. The title of the movie is part of the title of one of the singer's biggest hits. The star (Kevin Spacey) has been accused of several incidents of sexual misconduct, but in every case (so far), charges have been dropped or he has been acquitted. George
  5. Charlie's Angels Sam Rockwell Jojo Rabbit George
  6. Gonna add this one now. Should be Francine by the end of the day. Likely to miss Texas but hit Louisiana: George
  7. "Those scars we have make us who we are. We're not meant to go back and fix them. And there's nothing broken with you that needs to be fixed. Take it from an old guy who's made plenty of mistakes." "I'd do a lot better just giving all my money away because if I really wanted to end crime, I should end poverty." "You wanna get nuts? Let's get nuts." "Time has a pattern that it can't help reliving. Different people, different worlds, drawn to each other like magnets." George
  8. This show was originally to be an adventure drama, "Seven Against the Sea." It was re-tooled as a comedy and was very successful. The star of the show originally turned down the role, figuring that as an Oscar-winning actor, TV would have been a bit of a demotion. But when talking with a young boy who didn't recognize him but who could name the stars of several TV shows, he decided to take the part, one for which he is probably best remembered. Movie version of this show appeared in 1997. As these things usually go, the star of the TV show had a cameo role in the film. Though Gavin McLeod had appeared in a number of TV shows before this, this was his first featured (not starring) role. The action takes place during WWII, largely on a PT boat. George
  9. Assuming I'm to start with Lake placid, then Lake Placid Bill Pullman Independence Day George
  10. It will probably take me three days to come up with an answer for this one. George
  11. It's not from Iron Man (any). It's a comedy. George
  12. Long Tall Glasses (Not the first line) "Pack up the babies and grab the old ladies, and everyone goes..." George
  13. Mandy Lane Greta Matthews Baja Miller Angie Anderson Jenn Jones Kelly Porter 406 Emma Jennings Miss San Antonio Vivi Delay Mera Grace Burnham George
