  1. I'll just say you won twice. George
  2. The success of the Batman TV show spawned a number of super-hero shows of various quality. Here are two, one-season shows from 1967. Name one to win the round: Stanley Beamish, the weakling proprietor of a Washington gas station, is also a top-secret super agent. When the Government's Bureau of Special Projects needs Stanley, he takes a pill that gives him an hour's worth of strength, courage, and flying time. There have been two DC characters with the same name, in versions of the Justice Society (And it's not Hourman.) Carter Nash was a chemist in a police department who discovered a liquid that could turn him into an odd sort of superhero: very shy and dominated by his mother. Taking the liquid blew off his outer clothes, so he basically fought bad guys in his long johns and belt. The first time he appeared, someone asked him what the "CN" on his belt buckle stood for. He didn't want to say his name, so he came up with his corny alias. No DC character with the same name. George
  3. The only one of these I've seen is Coyote Ugly. Piper Perabo? George
  4. Birds of Prey and the .... Harley Quinn Mary Elizabeth Winstead Sky High George
  5. There was no doubt that that phrase was used in TPB, but it could have been from other films. Anyway, "You talkin' to me?" George
  6. That's the one. Clint Eastwood is the oldest actor to receive top billing in a movie, at the age of 91 in 2021. He starred in Cry Macho. One site gives Maggie Smith as the oldest actress to receive top billing (81 YO in The Lady in the Van)., but I've also found June Squibb, who at 94 YO starred in Thelma. The citation doesn't use the term "top billing," "top billed," etc., so maybe she doesn't count. George
  7. Tom Hanks Big Elizabeth Perkins George
  8. Correct. The first quote is by the Joker. The second two are quips between Bruce Wayne and Alfred. George
  9. Not a bad guess, but this actor was older when he got his last top billing. (He's older than he looks, too; though he doesn't look young, by any means.) George
  10. It's the young boy thing that's really throwing me. I suspect that his name would make the answer obvious. George
  11. I know Barbara Streisand and Ryan O'Neal starred in a couple of movies in the 70s, but I don't think either got Best Picture. George
  12. Paper Moon? I'm sure if I saw a list of Best Picture winners from the 70s, I could figure it out, but I don't remember the winners from that long ago. George
  13. Who was the oldest actor to get top billing in a movie? He's pretty well-known. If you can tell me who the oldest ACTRESS was to get top billing in a movie, I'd be really impressed. I don't think I've ever heard of her. George
  14. I can picture him. I just don't remember his name. George
  15. Is this an old version of Willy Wonka? George
  16. Nope. I know I'll recognize the name, but I'm not getting it. George
  17. "Do I really look like a guy with a plan? You know what I am? I'm a dog chasing cars. I wouldn't know what to do with one if I caught it! You know, I just... *do* things." "The bandit, in the forest in Burma, did you catch him?" "Yes." "How?" "We burned the forest down." "I suppose they'll lock me up as well. As your accomplice..." "Accomplice? I'm going to tell them the whole thing was your idea!" George
  18. The show is probably Chico and the Man, and I can see the actor's face, but I don't remember his name. George
  19. George Clooney O Brother, Where Art Thou? John Goodman George
  20. Network "I feel the need -- the need for speed!" George
