Yes. That's everybody who ever played The Shadow, whether on the radio like Orson Welles or in the movies like Alec Baldwin.

Among the actors in this movie....Steven Williams (Captain Fuller from 21 Jump Street), Steve Lawrence, Paul Reubens (Pee Wee Herman), Henry Gibson. Charles Napier (space hippie from ST TOS), Twiggy. This film needed to get certification from the FAA to confirm that one of their props was NOT airworthy. They had to confirm it wouldn't get picked up by the wind, and instead would drop like a stone. In one scene, the actors did their own stunt, and fell down a flight of stairs. It looks real because it is real. However, one actor, I'm sure, regretted it afterwards. He was injured and had to use a back brace for the rest of the filming. The director had a part for his mother in the film. Her moment onscreen was cut, so she never appeared in the film that was released. If you read the closing credits, she's actually listed as "woman on the cutting-room floor." There's a running gag about broken watches in the film. 3 different watches are said to have been broken in the dialogue. "They broke my watch." (Repeated line.) This movie became a box office hit because it was a hit overseas when it was released. It wasn't one in the US when it was released because many theaters in the South refused to air the movie. Among the extras for the next-to-last scene were 15 horses, and 3 Sherman tanks. Most people wouldn't remember them despite being on camera. If you still can't figure this one out, I'll 'See You Next Wednesday.' Roger Ebert's review of this movie contains the following sentences: "One crash in particular, a pileup involving maybe a dozen police cars, has to be seen to be believed: I've never seen stunt coordination like this before. What's a little startling about this movie is that all of this works." "There's even room, in the midst of the carnage and mayhem, for a surprising amount of grace, humor, and whimsy." Gene Siskel's review of this movie contains the following: "...displays more of the diversity of our metropolitan area than any other film shot here." "...Landis must be included in the ranks of important American directors. This movie was a gargantuan undertaking, and it would have been some achievement simply getting it finished." One of the most important characters in this film was never named. If you watch the film and read the credits, you might notice that they neglected to name more than one of the actors in the cast. You might not notice because you know who the actors were without waiting for the credits.

The second one MIGHT be something Tony Manero said. The first one MIGHT be from a movie with a name like "Midnight Cowboy" or "Electric Cowboy" or something like that. The third quote was a conversation between Jules and Vincent in "Pulp Fiction." IIRC, Jules reacted to this comment, and Vincent had traveled to Europe- Amsterdam, Paris, etc. So, that should make the the actor JOHN TRAVOLTA.

"Can you feel that?" "Who ordered this?" "It's a magical place." Dr Franklin Hall and student Donny Gill both ended up in custody, Hall with some sort of connection to gravity, and Gill with some sort of connection to cold? Dangerous planet to be a scientist, this Earth....

No, and I was worried I'd made this too easy.

The first-season show was apparently targeted for me and maybe a dozen people. At the time, it was relevant to me and my interests. I enjoyed it. When they gained mass appeal, they slowly disinterested me. Oh, well. I vaguely remember scheduling committee meetings for when we could all make them- which meant I couldn't get home in time to see the show any more, even if I was losing interest. We also wondered if anyone was reading our minutes. So, our minutes slowly got more and more interesting. One set of minutes had a note at the end. It pointed out we had our meetings during "Melrose Place" and asked if anyone reading the minutes could catch us up on Billy and Allison. (Although people did read the minutes and laughed, I never did get that update.) IIRC, some magazine I read at the time ("Rolling Stone"?) addressed the show, and the changes. While some of us found it relatable, it didn't have mass appeal in season one. What the public wanted was "conflict." So, that started when they added Heather Locklear's character to the cast. "What we needed was a cat among the pigeons." I lost track of the show, and eventually it went really soap opera, and once a season someone got thrown into the pool or fell into it or something. I heard, when the show ended, they'd given little vials of water to the cast and crew- the pool, emptied for the final time.

Apparently, I've heard it before, but not enough or recently enough that I was able to even narrow it down to the artist.
-
Without counting, I'm going with "MELROSE PLACE." When it started, it wasn't really a soap opera. I was one of a tiny minority watching it. That a tiny minority was watching a primetime show was why they soap opera'd it.

"Hi, there!" "Did I ever tell you about my Uncle..."

It's obvious I've never seen this movie. Otherwise, I'm stuck.
-
Sorry, never actually watched the show.

So, not a Kodak camera. How about Telly Sevalas as "KOJACK?"

This clue doesn't seem to be clicking for anyone.

BTW, vpw claimed it was "Indian Summer" when this alleged "snowstorm" came down, (HOT WEATHER), the one where it was a life-changing moment for him and he heard directly from God Almighty, but he couldn't keep straight whether the sky looked like it was full of snow and everything looked BLACK, or whether the sky looked like it was full of snow and everything looked WHITE. A life-changing moment, and the sky was either completely white or completely black, and he can't tell the difference? The man wasn't blind. The only explanation was that his story was changing and improving as he spoke to people. That's not the sign of a retelling of an event, that's the sign of someone trying to perfect a CON JOB.
