  1. "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum," starring Zero Mostel and including Phil Silvers, Jon Pertwee, Buster Keaton, Jack Gilford, and Roy Kinnear. ====================== "Tubular Bells".
  2. Ok, next song. ".................." Wait, can't guess an instrumental from the lyrics. Maybe I'll use that one on another thread. "You hear the door slam and realize there's nowhere left to run You feel the cold hand and wonder if you'll ever see the sun You close your eyes and hope that this is just imagination"
  3. It's from "The Guys from Another Country" and it's called "Nickelodeon Champion." Or something like that.
  4. On behalf of all of us who never watched "Tropic Thunder" nor "the X Files", I'd like to say we look forward to an actual clue. (I don't count "The movie has a guy who was not played by these 3 actors".)
  5. Is that one of the many memorable songs from "Les Mis"?
  6. "How Bizarre", by OMC. ("Otara Millionaires' Club" was an ironic name because the neighborhood is poverty-stricken, but it's where they were from.)
  7. There were all kinds of movies later, but I'm not aware of one that included the scene you mentioned. There may well have been one, I didn't see all of them. Then again, the description of "House of Frankenstein"(1944) seems to describe that in one scene.
  8. You're definitely thinking of "the Joy of Painting", so I'll take that as the answer.
  9. That's it. I suspect "Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman" was the first movie that revived a dead monster at the beginning, for better or worse spawning monster sequels.
  10. Ok, here's a triple, with 2 movies and 1 old television show. A brilliant young neurosurgeon is approached to use his grandfather's work to cure a man cursed with lycanthropy and let him die. In the course of his research, he ends up uncovering the frozen corpse of his grandfather's work. He manages to thaw it out, and it ends up fighting the man who asked for his help. With all of them surviving, the cursed man goes off and hosts a television show of musicians and some comedy, and becomes famous for his work on radio, his gravelly voice, and his habit of howling on-air. I THINK you guys might be able to work it out without actor names.
  11. "And you people, you're all astronauts on . . . some kind of star trek?"
  12. "Years ago, Bill taught me this fantastic technique, and I feel as though he gave me a precious gift, and I'd like to share that gift with you." "So from all of us here, I'd like to wish you happy painting, and God bless, my friend." This is the PBS show that featured "happy little trees." (My last try-I added the network.)
  13. Can I know the rest without buying the rights?
  14. "Years ago, Bill taught me this fantastic technique, and I feel as though he gave me a precious gift, and I'd like to share that gift with you." "So from all of us here, I'd like to wish you happy painting, and God bless, my friend." This is the show that featured "happy little trees."
  15. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Indy was giving opening remarks to some students.
  16. "Years ago, Bill taught me this fantastic [wet-on-wet] technique, and I feel as though he gave me a precious gift, and I'd like to share that gift with you." "So from all of us here, I'd like to wish you happy painting, and God bless, my friend."
  17. I think I've got it now. "Cool World War Z"? Oh, and congratulations. :)
  18. Adam Sandler Click Christopher Walken
  19. More lines don't necessarily fit the category, but ok. "Well gonna write a little letter,gonna mail it to my local D.J. It's a rocking little record I want my jockey to play." "I got the rockin' pneumonia,I need a shot of rhythm and blues. I think I'm rollin' arthritis sittin' down by the rhythm review." "We're rockin' in two by two." I'll be out of touch for a few days. If you're sure you have it, answer then move on.
  20. An offer implies the capability to extend a lifespan indefinitely. The most common cinematic solution- vampirism. "Interview with the Vampire?"
  21. [geek joke] Is that what caused "Emerald Twilight?"[/geek joke]
  22. Thanks. I was completely lost, since I've never seen "Blue's Clues" (for more than a few seconds.)
  23. Ok, the show had to be from the last 2 decades, because they can't use footage that hasn't been shot yet. "JAG"?
  24. Nearly every time twi based a doctrine on a single verse, it was ERROR and based on a MISunderstanding of what it said. Romans 13:8a (KJV) 8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: Not even the whole verse, supposedly all the justification of the no-debt policy was there. Romans 13:7-8 (KJV) 7 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour. 8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. Romans 13:8 referred to giving people what they were due- whether that was respect, honor, tribute, etc. The Romans were told to give them that and not owe it to them. Romans 13:7-8 (NIV) 7 Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor. 8 Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law. This is pretty straightforward. For a supposed Biblical research ministry to flub this on such a huge scale when reading the preceding verse made it clear is proof that twi is-and was-lousy at Biblical research and teaching. And yes, first this was mandated to the Corps as a control measure which ensured the Corps didn't settle down roots anywhere, but instead let twi dictate where they would live FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIFE. (Quite a surprise for people who were never told, before entering the Corps, that twi would pass orders to them for the rest of their life, which they would be required to fulfill at their expense.) Later, as always, this trickled down to the rank-and-file, and twi was supposed to have entrance into the budgets and finances of their members/"followers." All of this came from lcm, who would just rattle off whatever fool notion went through his head, and announce it was revelation from God no matter HOW stupid it was. Did lcm know anything about budgets and finances? This was a man who went from his parents' home directly to university, then directly from university to twi, where he had lived until he was quietly relocated. (They're STILL paying for his housing and expenses.) He NEVER had to pay rent, NEVER had to worry about putting food on the table, and only eventually had a job which probably was more for appearance's sake than not. (He could NOT support himself completely on the "personal trainer" job. The UPS thing, he probably COULD if he was willing to live simply- but twi's still paying the bills and owns the building where he lives. This was the man who made the decisions affecting the finances of all the members- demanding they give up houses with manageable mortgage payments for apartments or houses with, often, higher monthly rents than the mortgage payments. It's easier to understand how twi made such damaging pronouncements once we see how they got to coming up with them.
