Actually, it's Yeardley Smith. And, unfortunately, the Julie Kavner pic I posted got replaced with the last cartoon, which really gave it away. George

I think it's a safe bet that I haven't seen this one. George

Here's another "picture puzzle." I ask hiway to refrain from answering immediately. What do these six folks have in common? George

I grew up in the Chicago area, so finding day games was never a problem. (When I visit Chicago, I absolutely refuse to go to a night game at Wrigley.) I don't know if it's been mentioned before on this thread, becuase I hardly ever pop in here; but Cubs fans were really spoiled. WGN televised almost every HOME game, along with a good number of away games. It wasn't until I went away to college that I found out how unusual that was. I suppose I could try this in the Nostalgia Thread, but do you recognize these guys: George

Maybe if I change the second clue, you'll get it. George

After five days, I guess it's fair to google. Sadly, the only other person I recognize from "The Notebook" is Gena Rowlands, and I had to google HER to find a movie with ANYONE ELSE I recognized. Gena Rowlands Paulie Bruce Davison George

I would have gotten "Mellow Yellow." This one, I have no idea. George

I agree with wasway. Sounds like "Gilligan's Island." George

Suda, you're a lot closer than you think! Here's a big hint, though: the title is not in English. George

This could be tough. Three pics. George

If I'm right, I don't get the first clue, but "The Other Side of Midnight"? George

Except, of course, that there was no "Mr. B" in "Green Acres." <_< George

That was the name of a movie? I don't EVER want to hear another crack about "Traxx"! George

Sorry, kid. Just not seeing it yet. George

Tom clearly knows it. Wasway might. But no one's actually given the answer yet. George

Corps Wedding? George

I vaguely remember seeing it years ago, but I don't remember enough to recommend it. On the other hand, there is this review from the IMDb site: It's been eight years since I first saw this movie, and it is still my personal live-action gold standard (Lilo & Stitch being my animated film gold-standard). It combines drama, tragedy, razor-sharp comedy, great performances, and the best dialogue that has ever been spoken on film, period. I found this movie quite by accident--I was a sixteen-year-old with a Katharine Hepburn fixation. She mesmerized me; I wanted to BE her--smart, beautiful, sexy, and unwilling and unable to take anything off of anybody (except for Spencer Tracy, but that's another story). Honestly, I had no idea that there really had been such a person as Eleanor until I saw this movie. After watching my heroine portray her, I was determined to find out, though...so I have Katharine Hepburn to thank for my discovery of a new personal hero, and for my passion for medieval history. It is true that this movie is not 100% factually accurate, not only because movie making dictates tinkering with history to create an interesting film, but also because, unfortunately, not too much is known about Eleanor herself. In the middle ages, women, even powerful, intriguing women like Eleanor, were not considered "important" enough to merit full biographical treatment. Most of Eleanor's history is recorded in the context of her sons and husbands. A good deal of this history was written by her detractors--people who disliked or disapproved of her for one reason or another. The simple explanation is that they felt that as a woman, she overstepped the bounds of what was considered "acceptable behavior" for a woman of the period. That being said, this movie is 100% spiritually accurate. It perfectly captures the intrigue, the complexity of emotions and relationships, and tone of the age and the situation at hand. Though the sharp and witty dialogue is often considered a historical anachronism, this is not strictly true. Contrary to popular belief, people WERE educated in the middle ages, even women, if they were fortunate enough to be brought up in noble households, as Eleanor was. She was a brilliant woman, raised in a household where poetry and intelligent conversation were staples (her grandfather, after all, was one of the first troubadours). Henry was an intellectual powerhouse as well--he was a voracious reader who was often caught reading in church instead of paying attention to the sermons! It is unthinkable that these two minds would have produced stupid children, and the notion that the entire family should have only spoken in grunts and simple phrases is equally ludicrous. Though not historically accurate, as other reviewers have noted, the strength of this movie lies in it's perfect portrayal of some of the most fascinating and complex personalities in recorded history. Henry, Eleanor, Richard, et al., make today's political and royal figures seem like low-rent bumbling hucksters. Might be worth a look! George

Except, of course, that this is Name that FLICK... George

"Boxes" Is not the key word. George

Getting closer... George

Sorry. I meant "Lion in the Desert." George

What clip? George

I doubt it. Not what I have in mind, anyway. George

Not to be confused with "True Grit." You're right, Dreamer! George

I believe that the actor you're referring to was in "The Lion in Winter," but I wouldn't say it was underrated. The other movies he was in in the early 80's were all fairly unknown. George
