  1. Correct, and correct. I was thinking of just leaving it at that quote for that reason.
  2. RIGHT! Everybody always forgets the movie went on over 1/2 an hour before we first saw the Bates Motel, and the story completely changes.
  3. "You can keep doing that forever, the dog is NEVER going to move." " Me, I'm dishonest. And a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. I mean honestly, it's the honest ones you have to watch out for. Because you can never predict when they're going to do something incredibly...stupid."
  4. "see i'm a down home brother, redneck undercover with my guitar here i'm ready to play and i'm s a sucker for a filly got a natural ability I'm geared to freestyle look at my flexibility dangerous at the mike my ghetto hat's cocked right the ladies say, "yo, that kid is crazy"
  5. BTW, I just showed Mrs Wolf the first clue, and she rattled off the answer pretty fast. So, it's not exactly an obscure movie.
  6. That was the angel Gabriel, who unmistakeably is a big time operator. What? It was Peter Gabriel's "Big Time"? Well, close enough, right?
  7. An office worker steals from her employer, goes on the run, trades in her car for another, then picks the worst possible hotel to stop for the night-running afoul of 2 people she really didn't want to meet-or was it 1 person? You're going to kick yourselves....
  8. "What does God need with a starship?" really is a giveaway, like "I know every corner of this ship like the back of my hand." This was "Star Trek 5: the Final Frontier." I'm chagrined to say I paid money to see it at the movie theater when it came out.
  9. Log in. Go to the post you want. On THAT post, click "post reply." You will get a blank post with the previous post quoted above it. You can then type before or after it, if you want to reply on that thread... ...if you want to post that on a different thread, when you have the previous post quoted, paste the entire thing into the other thread, in a new reply space. When you post it, you will have the post#, date and time and so on included.
  10. "I tied my own shoes once. It is a highly-overrated experience."
  11. AFAIK, he was only homeless in 1 movie. How about the name of an Elvis movie referencing New Orleans in any way?
  12. A radio shock-jock, suicidally despondent because of a terrible mistake he made, finds redemption in helping a deranged homeless man who seeks the Holy Grail- who was an unwitting victim of that same mistake. That man turns his own life around, and works at a New Orleans nightclub, first as a busboy then as a singer. Stars Jeff Bridges as the former radio shock-jock, and ELVIS PRESLEY as the singer. Robin Williams is in there somewhere.
  13. An office worker steals from her employer, goes on the run, trades in her car for another, then picks the worst possible hotel to stop for the night. That description is technically accurate for both versions of this movie.
  14. Might think of non-comedies with Robin Williams as a homeless guy- that's how I remember the first movie. That should give you the beginning of the second, and that's how I remember the name of the Elvis film. TCM helps quite a bit with knowing there is such a movie.
  15. No. A better-known movie, this has been a remake. And this round, I came up with a real challenge.
  16. It IS Blues Traveler. You've probably misheard "THE HOOK" as "the luck." But you have the song. "The hook brings you down."
  17. A radio shock-jock, suicidally despondent because of a terrible mistake he made, finds redemption in helping a deranged homeless man who was an unwitting victim of that mistake.

Robin Williams is in there somewhere.
  18. An office worker steals from her employer, goes on the run, trades in her car for another, then picks the worst possible spot to stop during her flight. (By "flight", I don't mean it in the aerial sense, I mean it in the technical sense of fleeing. I couldn't find a different word to use there that was still correct.)
  19. "There is something amiss. I am being insincere. In fact I don't mean any of this. Still my confession draws you near. To confuse the issue I refer To familiar heroes from long ago. No matter how much Peter loved her What made the Pan refuse to grow?" "Suck it in, suck it in, suck it in If you're Rin Tin Tin or Anne Boleyn Make a desperate move or else you'll win And then begin to see what you're doing to me This MTV is not for free It's so PC it's killing me So desperately I sing to thee Of love Sure but also of rage and hate and pain and fear of self And I can't keep these feelings on the shelf I've tried, well, no in fact I lied Could be financial suicide but I've got too much pride inside To hide or slide I'll do as I'll decide and let it ride until I've died And only then shall I abide this tide Of catchy little tunes Of hip three minute ditties I wanna bust all your balloons I wanna burn all of your cities to the ground I've found I will not mess around Unless I play then hey I will go on all day. Hear what I say I have a prayer to pray That's really all this was And when I'm feeling stuck and need a buck I don't rely on luck because"
  20. An office worker steals from her employer, goes on the run, then picks the worst possible spot to hide.
  21. They are in the right order. The second movie is not as "recent" as the first movie. A radio shock-jock, suicidally despondent because of a terrible mistake he made, finds redemption in helping a deranged homeless man who was an unwitting victim of that mistake. That man turns his own life around, and works at a nightclub, first as a busboy then as a singer. Stars Jeff Bridges as the former radio shock-jock, and the singer was an obvious casting choice who was hired before he left the building. (Could you believe they wanted Robin Williams for the role instead?)
