Yeah, it's not the one I'm thinking of. Mine is an alien theme.

Terminator 2: Judgement Day Robert Patrick Gangster Squad

"Poltergeist 2," "I'm BACK"!!!!!!

Do the actors from today size up to the actors from the day? I want to open up and discuss who you might think those actors are today, who have been out there for 20 or 30 years and not become more popular because of their clothing lines, colognes, and their beautiful bodies, those actors who burst onto the scene with the highest expectations but have not come up to the ranks of say Peter O'toole, Gene Wilder, or say a Robert Duvall? I like Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. Do you think their work is really standing up? DiCaprio's latest oscar performance was riveting. IMO he has laid down some tracks but not all toward a movie career the likes of a Ford, Hanks or a Dustin Hoffman. It's still early. Maybe. I realize that these actors are from another generation, the generation of actors whom we hoped would become the next great DeNiro or Gene Hackman, Sean Connery or Gregory Peck, but can their work achieve what the Marlon Brando generation achieved, the Orson Welles, Gary Cooper's, or James Stewart's did? Who do think stands up today? Does anyone come to mind?

Sorry man, I must have been overseas when that one came out Ha.

Beverly D'Angelo American History X Edward Furlong

It's kinda familiar. I could use a few more actors George.

Goonies

Lots of musicians are doing cable shows these days; i.e., cooking shows, restoration housing etc, but judging from the clues I'd have to say this is "Reba".

Who Are You? That's not a question, that's the name of the song by The Who. I'm going. Whatever happened to all this season's Loser's of the year Every time I got to thinking Where' d they disappear Then I woke up Mom and Dad All rollin' on the couch Rollin' numbers rock and rolling Got my Kiss records out

Oh!!! Ok, let's try MIssion Impossible then.

Yes, that's it.

Oops. Although, one could assume however that you're quote could definitely come from M!. Let's play on.

Paul Newman had so many great roles in his career it just seemed strange to me how "The Color of Money" was his only oscar. He had Butch Cassidy, Cool Hand Luke....the list goes on and on.

Here's a game. I give you a list of actors and actresses, and you guess what movie they are from. Try not to list actors who may have been in more than one movie together. ie., Mark Wahlberg and George Clooney in the same clue would result in multiple movies. I'll start: Tom Berenger Willem Dafoe Charlie Sheen

I thought it may be that song too WordWolfie. I couldn't get my head around cloister, instead all I heard was "the world's your oyster". Good job.

I call foul, I was robbed! Well, anyway, I won't prolong this then? Yes, that's it. Just what part of those clues jived with you Raf?. Was it the Cruise clue, or maybe the 25 year later bit? Or were you born in 1987?

I was going to go with Seven/ Years in Tibet but that doesn't fit the description does it?

Is that your final answer Raf?

Ok. I have something that is unusual in concept but probably not for this thread. The year was 1987. The movie received several nods (nominations) in various categories. Platoon won the Best Picture that year. That's not the movie. I just figured while anyone who is twisting their (your) head about that this trivia mention may give those playing a reference point to go off of. Other movie's nominated that year were "Children Of A Lesser God" and for "Hannah, and Her Sisters". So, I'll leave the categories we are concerned with here in hopes that you will know the movie. The movie was nominated for Best Picture. This movie won in the category of Best Actor in a leading role. (I know this is not that thread). {The actor was not present at the awards ceremony}. The award winning actor also was nominated another 9 times in the lead actor category through-out his career. I'll let you know that I became exhilarated when I discovered this fact about the Best Actor award from this movie and this tidbit of history is all that I had to go with for clues. It's sort of like Pacino won for "A Scent Of A Woman" but that doesn't nearly or truly encompass his entire body of work. Other categories that were picked up for nominations from this movie were: Best Supporting Role by an actress. Best Writing, Screenplay based on material from another medium. Best Art Direction-Set direction FYI: The actor reprised his previous role in this movie as a hot-shot for what many say is a sequel to the same role he played 25 years earlier. But the director didn't go in that direction. It's not really a sequel. Also in this movie, (stay with me) the supporting role actor played a hot-shot role too. The supporting actor did another movie in 1986 also playing a hot shot, a role his career has now been build on, that of playing a hot shot and he is pretty good looking and likes to show off a lot. Rumour has it, circa 2016 that he will also reprise this role in a sequel sometime in the future. If anything I may start a new thread with this type of trivia in mind. (Or not).
