  1. Time's a marching on. No guesses so I'll just move on. ~Stephen Stills~ Sit Yourself Down He was at Woodstock, the first one. Next song: Won't you take me back to school I need to learn the golden rule Won't you lay it on the line I need to hear it just one more time
  2. New set of clues. That was 1941 w/ John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd. Jason Lee Tilda Swinton Johnny Galecki Ivana Milicevic
  3. The Graduate Anne Bancroft The Miracle Worker
  4. Hold it, I got to quit this runnin' 'round Hold it, Never gonna get rid of these blues Hold it, I got to find somebody to love Slow me down, yeah My, what a time, Look out now
  5. Yes I did know that. I'll come up with something.
  6. Name the movie Christopher Lee Tim Matheson Warren Oates
  7. Wasn't it Deep Purple who did "Smoke On The Water"? Yeah it was.
  8. I've come up with a good title for the next sequel "From Gone With the Wind to Forrest Gump: A sequential record of history in America". Catchy huh! Stay safe my friend. The tough times are about to come. No political connotation meant by that. Just passing on my sentiments to those I care about in light of the current developments. And that goes for everyone else on GSC.
  9. I'm curious George where did you get the 1990's from? Yes, Forrest Gump. I hesitated for a moment by decided to drop the John Travolta clue in and hoped to have kept it going a bit longer. Thanks Raf for fact-checking that it was the screenplay that was delivered the day before 9/11 and not the sequel. In an odd twist John Travolta turned down the role of Forrest Gump to play a role in Pulp Fiction and ended up being nominated with Tom Hanks for both Best Actor and Best Picture but both Tom Hanks and Forrest Gump took home the Oscars. Tom Hanks would never have done the sequel anyway having already made that clear. Without Hanks nobody would take that risk on in a sequel ("Gump & Co.) Paramount studios claimed it never made a profit.
  10. Testing testing, hey I'm still logged in? Huh! Maybe it's getting better. I have been logged in for over an hour. Anyway, back to clues. The leading role was turned down by John Travolta among others. Chevy Chase and Bill Murray also turned it down. The writer for the novel from which the screenplay was written was promised $350,000 and 3% of the films profits. The production company claimed it lost more money than it made so he never saw any of the films profits. He did receive his $350K. The movie film respectively made $330,000,000 domestically, $349,000,000 internationally bringing the total world-box office to $679,000,000. The writer was ticked off but that didn't stop him from writing a sequel. Only trouble was that he delivered the manuscript to his publisher on the day before 9/11/2001.
  11. No. Not GWTW. Little typo there but the actor ending up making $40 m.
  12. Good catch George, and thanks WordWolf. Wesley Snipes Rising Sun Sean Connery
  13. Been four days, so,ooooooo obviously I googled. I didn't recognize her face but realized she was in Crazy Rich Asians Tomorrow Never Dies Gerard Butler The Ugly Truth
  14. Tonight's movie presentation is brought to you tonight with limited interruptions and is intended for mature audiences only. Just kidding. The leading actor was so sure that the movie was going to be a success that he waived his acting fee and opted for percentage points earned from the movie. At one point, both he and the director paid money out of their own pockets when the production company nearly shut down. Highly successful and perhaps one of the most popular movies ever, he (actor) ended up making about $40 million, however, critics called it a "successful failure" because the cost of producing and promoting the movie still didn't earn any money.
  15. Perhaps you should save this further education George for another thread.
  16. I agree with most of this. First, what I mean by withdrawing George (it would be cheating to continue playing) is if I were looking up something, lets use your example Joe Black, in a thread (Triple Movie Links) because I thought an actor was in the movie and using your example, Brad Pitt wasn't in it, but in doing so I also discovered another actor who was in it that would be cheating to use that actor to play. I also agree with you using the picture of someone whom you think is the actress or actor in a particular movie to confirm that you are right is fine. A lot of various sources, wiki, Imdb, Biog, often splash different pictures and movies that might help to solve the clues but unless you intended to find the correct answer and did not and were given another correct clue that is when I would disqualify myself from playing. And I would hope that anyone else doing so would also, which I'm sure they are.
