  1. Eventually, repetition is inevitable, but we're only 2 pages in. George, take another crack at it. Call it a do-over.
  2. As per the clue, it's also a US show where someone played Queen Elizabeth and someone played her husband, Prince Philip. (More than once, actually.)
  3. I'm trying to figure out if you really think MPFC was a US show or not. Terry Gilliam (the artist) was from the US, all the rest were/are Brits. Again, I'm looking for a US show where Dame Maggie Smith made a number of appearances in humorous and semi-serious roles, and also sang and danced. If there were dance numbers in MPFC, my memory fails me. There were few songs, most of them along the lines of "the Lumberjack Song."
  4. The first was probably his most memorable line from "The Mask." The fourth was Bruce Almighty. The third was from the first Ace Ventura movie, when he bent over and pretended to sing from his behind. The other quotes I used so far were the 2nd Ace Ventura movie. He met a VIP at an embassy who resembled "The Monopoly Guy", but had a monocle. He dared a spear throw in the fight scene with the spears. If you've seen the scene, you might remember it as clearly as I do. The last quote was when he was meeting the Wachati tribe. His guide was greeting them as they walked past. "Bombaway achuna." Ace Venture greeted them also, in his own way, as best he could. "Bumblebee tuna."
  5. "Ssssmokin'! "You must be The Monopoly Guy. Thanks for the Free Parking!" *sung*"@- $$holo mio! Sodomia!"*sung* “I want her to be happy, no matter what that means. I want her to find someone who will treat her with all the love she deserved from me. I want her to meet someone who will see her always as I do now, through Your eyes.” “I'll have you know that I have the reflexes of a cat and the speed of a mongoose. Throw it. I dare you!” "Hi there. Nice to see ya. Bumblebee tuna. Bumblebee tuna!”
  6. The late Dame Maggie Smith has passed away recently. Most people remember her for her movie roles. Her younger fans remember her for her role as Professor Minerva McGonnagall in the "Harry Potter" movies. She's had many other roles as British women, in movies like "Hook" (as Wendy all grown up) and so on. Her career has encompassed stage and screen for decades, largely the large screen. (Fans of "Downton Abbey" may feel free to disagree.) That having been said, she made regular appearances on a US television show some time ago. That show is in syndication to this day. When people were online mentioning her roles recently, Mrs Wolf added a name to the list that we (Mr & Mrs Wolf) remember her by- her single appearance as "Ms Gwendylspire Beaugrauf." (Spelling up for debate, as was the pronunciation.) That woman was the Significant Other of the British soldier Private Archibald Newberry. She bears the dubious distinction of being the only known woman to meet Prince Phillip (Queen Elizabeth's husband) and greet him with the words "Hello, sailor." On this same show, she played a number of roles, semi-serious roles, humorous roles, and a few roles where she sang and danced. What was the name of this show?
  7. I'm still thinking. If anyone wants to jump in, go ahead. I should have something within 12 hours or so.
  8. "Ssssmokin'! "You must be The Monopoly Guy. Thanks for the Free Parking!" "@- $$holo mio! Sodomia!"
  9. It starred: Kenneth Branagh, Kate Winslet, Robin Williams, Gerard Depardieu, Timothy Spall, Jack Lemmon, Brian Blessed, Billy Crystal, Charleton Heston, Richard Attenborough, John Gielgud, and Dame Judi Dench. Timothy Spall Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Michael Gambon
  10. "Electrical banana is gonna be a sudden craze."
  11. That last quote throws me, but I think the 2nd quote is ROBERT DE NIRO.
  12. Danny de Vito's character to Arnie's character, when the latter visited the former in jail, through the phone and bulletproof wall thing.
  13. Wild Wild West Kenneth Branagh Hamlet KB's "Hamlet" had an all-star cast. BTW, it's surprising how many people out there told me the same thing about "Wild Wild West." They said that Jim West was Robert Conrad, and Will Smith just couldn't fill his shoes. (I also heard the same thing about "Maverick" and James Garner and Mel Gibson.)
  14. When George comes back, I'll want to know if this was "the Beverly Hillbillies."
  15. Without "Mars Attacks!", I don't think I ever remember her in movies.
  16. Um, was that answer correct? I may be misremembering, but I thought it was a different movie.
  17. That's how it goes sometimes. One guy was a respectable journalist for years, but nobody remembered him. Then, one day, he reported on a protest somewhere, and quote one protester named "Heywood Jablome", and then suddenly everybody was talking about him the next day. (I remember hearing this when The Daily Show reported on the protest.) https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/hooray-for-heywood/
  18. I'll count that as "close enough." It IS the Stones, with "Tumblin' Dice." Your turn.
  19. "The Commodore" is known as Poopdeck Pappy. I'll go let myself out, no need to get up....
  20. Some time ago, in another thread, we discussed Popeye. I referenced "how can you inherit a pipe" back then. If the arms didn't ring a bell, the eye would have. "The Commodore" sure didn't make it easy on Popeye in that scene.
  21. The first quote was from the memorable, often-quoted opening scene, with its memorable, often-quoted opening line. "Do you like scary movies?" Human pointed out it could not be "Scary Movie" because I would have included the title in the quote, which isn't proper. I agreed it was NOT "Scary Movie." Since the movie was "Scream", I posted a clue. "AAAAAAHHHH!" What did I just do? I later pointed out I left a clue- and quoted it to make it easier to find. Then George asked if it was "Scary Movie." I figured the ONE thing we'd established is that it was any movie BUT "Scary Movie" at this point. I posted "AAAAAHH!" again, and repeated-and quoted- that it STILL wasn't "Scary Movie." Having posted the same clue again, I immediately commented that I'd reposted the same clue (in this case, a scream as a clue that the movie's name is "SCREAM.") I'm not sure what Human thought he had right- that it WASN'T "Scary Movie"? It also wasn't "Citizen Kane" or "Traxx." Now Raf has to go.
  22. I wonder how many times I will have to repost the same clue this round.
