  1. I almost went with the trifecta of Carly Simon songs but changed my mind. Dress up tonight Why be lonely? You'll stay at home, and you'll be alone So why be lonely?
  2. Magic Carpet Ride Chewin' on a piece of grass, walkin' down the road Tell me, how long you gonna stay here, Joe?
  3. Were going back to back then with Carly Simon songs this one being "Nobody Does it Better" also the theme song to "The Spy Who Loved Me" 1977 starring Roger Moore.
  4. "Africa" by Toto? Or, is it that guy standing behind the curtain, some Wizard from Oz. The Wizard of Oz. "It's down there and I'm in here. I guess it comes down to a simple choice really? Get busy living or get busy dying"
  5. Office Space? No, you're a trekkie George so my guess is Star Trek.
  6. I heard the song, "Let the River Run" won her an Oscar for Best Original Song. Good job WordWolf getting that from just one line.
  7. To Kill a Mockingbird? Okay, not that funny. "Lost in Space" Raf, am I right? "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn!"
  8. Airplane. NO. Kidding. Superman "Who loves ya, Baby"?
  9. I don't have a clue. I've never seen any of those.
  10. Cool Hand Luke "Greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right".
  11. You surprised me George, I didn't make it that easy. "Up On the Roof" "Busted flat in Baton Rough, and headin' for the trains"
  12. "Age of Aquarius" "I've got sunshine on a cloudy day" "Hello lamppost, what'cha knowin'? I've come to watch your flowers growin'
  13. "There's something happening here, what it is ain't exactly clear"
  14. Good guess. No. He wasn't as famous as Spencer, but he made a name for himself. Hoping that this isn't throwing a monkey wrench in here but he had career on the side as a singer with one song in 1962 that reached #5 in the Billboard 100. He starred in a popular TV show that lasted six years (1957 to 1963. Frequently starred with Gary Cooper.
  15. This for those walking Oscar thesaurus types, which actor won the inaugural Best Supporting Actor award in 1936 and has won it three times?
  16. Dang it . Oh, I got it. Glen Campbell and Neil Diamond went through my head but that's wrong. It's "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head".
  17. I checked it out, you're right, Roddy McDowall wasn't nominated in the category of Best Supporting Actor because Twentieth Century Fox mistakenly nominated him for Best Actor instead. I'm guessing then, that the Academy removed his official nomination because of the error. He was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor, but didn't win. I was right Roddy McDowall didn't win an Oscar. In fact, he was never nominated (except through the clerical error that probably cost him the Oscar). Here's Twentieth C. statement released to the trade papers at the time and an apology to Roddy McDowall. "We feel that it is important that the industry realize that your electric performance as Octavian in 'Cleopatra,' which was unanimously singled out by the critics as one of the best supporting performances by an actor this year, is not eligible for an Academy Award nomination in that category . . . due to a regrettable error on the part of Twentieth Century Fox."
