  1. "ANIMAL HOUSE!" And I still haven't seen the entire movie. But I've seen the ending several times with the parade....
  2. That's pretty much the same principle we see in effect when Gideon's discussed. He overthrew Baal's altar, and when people protested, he complained that BAAL should protest, since BAAL is the one who was offended. So, Gideon got the nickname "Jerubbaal", "Contender with Baal." Much later, Gideon was referred to as "Jerubbesheth", or "Contender with Idols." Rather than continue to give Baal free press, the nickname was changed to refer to idols, still referencing the same incident.
  3. My usual rule-of-thumb is "Would people who've never seen this movie recognize the quote? " That's especially helpful for me, since I see so few movies.. Naturally, that's not a thread-wide rule, but it helps me stop from posting quotes from niche movies nobody here's heard of, let alone seen.
  4. Sounds vaguely familiar, but nothing's coming to mind.
  5. "Fly Like an Eagle". (Steve Miller Band, I think, although the band name is not required.)
  6. Since I didn't say so directly, YES.
  7. IIRC, he's also Jewish. BTW, if you sit down to watch the show and know that some Germans weren't really keen on Nazism, but wanted to keep their jobs and keep their heads down, this show makes a LOT more sense. Klink and Schultze definitely wanted to get back to civilian life in one piece. They were not concerned with how effective their prison was- they were vitally concerned their prison have no actionable complaints against it. If Hogan successfully covered all his tracks and never left the prison looking suspicious, they didn't care WHAT he did- their jobs and necks were safe.
  8. Taking a swing here.... "Jessica Alba"? I know she was in "Machete" but I don't know if she was in the sequel.
  9. Actors who appeared during the series' run included Gavin Mac Leod, William Christopher, Alice Ghostley, Hans Conried, Joe Tata, and Harvey Keitel. Really. Of the main characters of the show, one had previously been a bookkeeper and the other the president of a toy company before the show and their current "occupations." 2 characters once traveled to London, and several traveled to Paris. The fake snow was sometimes white salt, but later it was all just white paint. This well-watched and well-remembered show is a comedy. On paper, I can't see WHY. It worked anyway. A number of actors in key roles were Jewish, which may come as a surprise. One character had a facial scar- but it wasn't make-up. The actor had been beaten up by the SS in World War II for being a Jew.
  10. "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." "One good deed is not enough to save a man from a lifetime of wickedness." "Though it seems enough to condemn him." "Indeed." "Put it away, son. It's not worth you getting beat again." "You didn't beat me. You ignored the rules of engagement! In a fair fight, I'd kill you!" "Well, that's not much incentive for me to fight fair then, is it? Listen to me, boy! There are only two rules that really matter in this world: what a man can do, an' what a man can't do." "She's safe, just like I promised. She's all set to marry Norrington, just like she promised. And you get to die for her, just like you promised. So we're all men of our word, really... except for Elizabeth, who is, in fact, a woman." "Well! I'm actually feeling rather good about this. I think we all arrived at a very special place eh? Spiritually. Ecumenically. Grammatically.....I want you to know that I was rooting for you, mate. Know that... Elizabeth. It would never have worked out between us, darling. I'm sorry... Will. Nice hat.... Gentlemen, this will be the day you will always remember as the day you-"
  11. No, this movie is better known, both in general and on the GSC. Although it does have one thing in common with "Highlander."
  12. "Hello? Is there anybody in there? Just nod if you can hear me. Is there anyone at home?"
  13. No, this movie is better known, both in general and on the GSC.
  14. No. IIRC, the DvD Show was all in black and white. That can't be said for this show.
  15. If there were such a record, this movie would win the record for "most cups of coffee unsuccessfully drunk by a single character. " IIRC, he finishes one at the end, and attempted to drink 4 others during the course of the movie, but was interrupted each time (a car braked heavily, a coffee was shot out of his hand...)

  19. "Greed, for lack of a better word, is good."
  20. I saw part of this movie when I was sick in bed, so I heard some of it and saw less, but I vaguely recalled his imitations including edited film of celebrities. Frankly, I had a thought it might have been this movie, but figured I was far off until the next set of clues.
  21. Yes, I phrased it correctly- these are the backstories of the characters, NOT their actors (AFAIK, there's no overlap but it's technically possible it was true of the actors as well.)
