  1. Tom must be right. Caine Moo Tina
  2. Alex Winter The Lost Boys Corey Haim
  3. Perfect. The only rule to the game is, don't go linking back to the same movie, series, or person. For example, the last one has Carrie Fisher and The Blues Brothers. If I were to say "Frank Oz - Empire Strikes Back - Carrie Fisher," that would be bad, because we just used Carrie Fisher as a link. However: Frank Oz The Empire Strikes Back Mark Hamill is okay because Empire and Star Wars are two different movies, Frank Oz was not in both, and Mark Hamill is a different star. Don't use a sequel unless you get there from an actor who wasn't in the first referenced movie (Frank Oz was in the Blues Brothers, but he wasn't in Star Wars, so it's okay to use him for The Empire Strikes Back to get to someone other than Harrison Ford or Carrie Fisher). Now, I used the above as an example. My actual next link is as follows: Frank Oz The Great Muppet Caper Charles Grodin (naming someone whose voice alone was used is also okay, so long as the actor is playing a role in the movie. Frank Oz in the Muppet movies is okay, but Phil Collins in Tarzan is not). Use your best judgment on when it's been long enough to not worry about repeating actors or movies.
  4. I suppose there's no reason the story had to have a supernatural element. But it does, so there. Non-supernatural pirate movies have been done, and done well. And they've been done badly. I suppose the producers wanted to do something a bit different, so they went for it. When you think about it, the Indiana Jones movies all had big time supernatural elements, and it didn't hurt them much (although in the first two, they provided deus ex machina solutions to the predicaments. The third one integrated the supernatural plot much more elegantly than the first two.
  5. QuietThinker, I don't think you've quite got the hang of the game (or you linked from an out of date post). The next step is to name a movie Albert Brooks has been in, another star of that movie, and another movie that star has been in. Like so: Broadcast News Holly Hunter Copycat Now, Copycat is the last link. Find another star of Copycat, another movie that star was in, and another star from that movie.
  6. Yup. About time that movie made this thread. Your move.
  7. Correct. Apocalypse Now New quote: "Mom, I can't talk right now, I'm having sex with a white woman." === "Look around! You couldn't find a whiter, safer or better lit part of this city. But this white woman sees two black guys, who look like UCLA students, strolling down the sidewalk and her reaction is blind fear. I mean, look at us! Are we dressed like gangbangers? Do we look threatening? No. Fact, if anybody should be scared, it's us: the only two black faces surrounded by a sea of over-caffeinated white people, patrolled by the triggerhappy LAPD. So, why aren't we scared?" "Because we have guns?" "You could be right."
  8. Thank you, Topsy! The Dead Zone was recently made into a USA Network TV series starring Anthony Michael Hall. But the Christopher Walken movie is just fantastic. It's under "horror" in the video store, but should be under "thrillers."
  9. Wow. ANYone? "Put your hand on the scanning screen, and you'll go down in history with me!" "As what? The world's greatest mass murderers?" "You cowardly b*st*rd! You're not the voice of the people, I am the voice of the people! The people speak through me, not you! === "The ice is going to break! === "Your house is burning! There's still time!" === These are the quote I would have posted if I had wanted to stump you. The earlier quotes were absolute giveaways. That is, if you're at all familiar with the plot of the movie.
  10. How many movies are there about a guy getting hit by a truck and slipping into a coma for five years, with another scene featuring a guy happy that missiles are flying? Early 80s flick. The subject and characters have seen a relatively recent resurgence.
  11. There's a surprise appearance in the movie. I ain't sayin it's Keith Richards. I ain't sayin it ain't.
  12. I knew it was one of those dimensions. This should be easy. If you don't get it right away, nothing I tell you will help. "Bless me"? Do you know what God did for me? He threw an 18-wheeled truck at me and bounced me into nowhere for five years! When I woke up, my girl was gone, my job was gone, my legs are just about useless... Blessed me? God's been a real sport to me!" === "The missiles are flying. Hallelujah, Hallelujah!"
  13. I'm not sure of the full name of the movie, but I think it's The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai in the Fifth Dimension, or something.
  14. Fun. Too long, but loads of fun. It does drag, and you'll check your watch well before it "ends," so to speak. But I can't really complain. Oh, the final frames knocked my socks off and made the wait worth it. And if you're patient, wait until after the credits for a brief final sequence.
  15. Sorry I didn't check in. Linda is correct. Guy Ant. But now I know what to do for Valiant.
  16. Surprisingly enough, no. Recognize the actor?
  17. Cheating a little bit, but considering what we've allowed, this should work. It's one word.
  18. I solved it already. Look at the end of the previous page, Tom!
  19. The Spy Who Came In From The Cold
  20. Awww, Ca Dreaming is speechless!
  21. Easy one: "Do you know how much damage this bulldozer would sustain if I just let it roll over you?" "How much?" "None at all." === "Time is an illusion. Lunchtime, doubly so."
