[Documad]

Was the Marlon Brando movie with the butter an X?

[abcdefz]

Was the Marlon Brando movie with the butter an X?


At the time, yes. Good job.

A hint: each of the movies was re-rated R. At least Last Tango in Paris was slightly edited; the other two were untouched.

[Documad]

I thought France was in the title. I'm sick and a little bit off on everything. :rolleyes:

I've never seen that movie. Apparently, I should. I loved Midnight Cowboy.

Actors: Dustin Hoffman & Jon Voight



Good point. I phrased the question badly, so... yeah; we've had three best actor nominations from X-rated movies. Three director nominations, too, I think.

[Nuzzolese]

I love the idea that we can sum it up as the marlon brando butter movie.

What was the Richard Gere motorcycle movie?

I hated that butter movie so much.

Richard Gere had a motorcycle in An Officer And A Gentleman, if that counts.

[Nuzzolese]

That's what I was thinking of. A few minutes ago I was walking down the hallway and a lady here came out of one office and was walking next to me, and she stood up really straight and tall and said "see, I can walk like you" because apparently I have really good posture. So then I told her I could walk like her and I started to bounce a little and she started to do it too and she said we....Oh christ I didn't plan on this being this damn long but it'd be a shame to delete all that effort. Anyway, she said we were like Richord Pryor and Gene Wilder.

[mickill]

I see.


Anyway, was I right or what? I know you said it's what you were thinking of, but a simple yes or (y) would suffice. Just to make it official.

Do you want me to tell you what it was?

[Nuzzolese]

I see.


Anyway, was I right or what? I know you said it's what you were thinking of, but a simple yes or (y) would suffice. Just to make it official.

Yes it was An officer and a Gentleman. Way to go, Paula. Do you know the Pryor/Wilder movie? Did we already mention it in this thread? I think we might have but I didn't know which one it was, where Pryor is teaching Wilder how to jive walk so he can put shoe polish on his face and pretend to be black.

[Documad]

^^ Are you asking a question, because that's Silver Streak.

They had a similar scene in Stir Crazy.

But then he busts out, and it's in the desert, maybe in like the middle east or something. And there's attack choppers and stuff. WTF was this movie?

[Bionic]

actually to call someone a "movie star" and if i tell you his name all of you go "eh??" is sorta stretching it very, very thin indeed. more of an, em, "actor".
who has been in movies with kate beckinsale, sean connery, russell crowe, dennis quaid, giovanni ribisi etc but no one noticed hiimmmm.

He then schlepped across the street and pulled the same manuever on the other place he had worked at. A car chase was involved and he ended up shooting himself

You're the loser, Bob. Because only elves refer to wizards as Istari. The Sindarin word is Ithryn, you dork. Anyway, I just lumped the wizard in with the humans to make it easier for the laymen, who, speaking of which, you can certainly consider yourself one of. "I'm Bob and I think elvish and Sindarin are the same thing durr!" What a loser.

Eyes Wide Shut! :D

Okay, this one I'm sure I saw but can't remember what it was called. I only remember a small part of it. A woman like a Betty Grable type is living in an apartment in probably New York, and she has a baby but she's trying to keep it a secret, like maybe she pretends it's not hers. She lives with a foreign maid. And one time the police come to find her, she's hiding in the back of the apartment and they ask the maid for her whereabouts and the maid plays dumb like "what is a whereabouts?" And really it's a comedy I think. Black and white, 1940s. Any ideas?

Bringing up Baby. I love that one. It was one of my faves as a kid.

[BangkokB]

The greatest actor that ever lived starred in this one. Ruthless gangster he was and the kids loved him for it. He was friends with a priest. At the end he ws sentenced to death but he feared nothing. The priest told him that his life was going to affect the kids and that he needed to show remorse. So at the end he's crying and such but it's open ended. You don't know if he was truely remorseful or was doing it for the kids

a very young virgin girl wants to have a baby.
she has sex, get's pregnant...
and embarks on a bizarre journey...that does NOT involve self discovery.
she "ends up where she started"....yet she changes faces about 8 times.

I didn't like his last movie, Storytelling. But I loved Welcome to the Dollhouse, and Happiness was great. The guy must just hate humanity. Did you see You and Me and Everyone We Know? It's not by Solondz, it's just pretty cool.

[Qdrop]

A singing stripper wants her boyfriend to get her pregnant but he doesn't want a baby, they fight and refuse to speak to each other so they communicate a few times by showing each other book covers, pointing to the words they want to communicate. They're young in the 60s, they're poor, they have to borrow a phone from a prositute neighbor. The girl winks at the camera a lot. She ends up sleeping with the guy's best friend but she and her boyfriend make up.

Sorry if I ws a dick on some threads or made little to no sense last night. The keyboard was drinking not me*I'm now having to pay royalties to Tom Waits for saying that

The movie ws Angels with Dirty Faces

and I'm sticking to my guns that James Cagney was the greatest actor ever. "And this is what we're gonna do see..." Until he pulled that Yankee Doodle Dandy bollocks.

[Nuzzolese]

One of my favorite movies, this one had an office man who let upper executives use his place for dates with their mistresses in exchange for good performance reviews that would move him up the corporate ladder. He falls for one of the mistresses and has to choose between her and his career. It is SO good, a great date movie.

The Apartment.

In this movie, Gene Hackman's character kills his son.

I'm hoping someone can answer this - its a bit vague!

In an episode of the Simpsons (Hair today gone tomorrow) Homer goes bald and gets hair growth formula. He hires an assistant called Karl - is he based on a character from a movie or completely made up?

Its been bugging me for ages.

It was the voice of this (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001213/) guy but I don't know if it was supposed to be a specific character.

Okay, this is a vague hint, but it's driving me nuts cuz I can't remember what movie it's from. I have no idea how old it is but the characters in this film eat TANG sandwiches.

Anyone? Anyone?

I think that was From Here To Eternity.

...a Google search refers to an episode of Married With Children.


But, hey: I feel ignored. Let's get back to my question:

In this movie, Gene Hackman plays a sheriff who kills his son.

The Quick And The Dead?

[abcdefz]

Thank you. I have a sense of closure now.

[Nuzzolese]

I was adding movies to my netflix queue and I remembered one I'd seen on TV a long time ago. Loved it. Can't remember what it was called, checked IMDB but still don't know.

It was in black and white, in the 30s or 40s, and I thought it had Cary Grant in it, but in his filmography I didn't see one that looked like it.

It's a romantic comedy about a woman who pretends to be 15 or 16 so she can get a cheap train ticket, and on the train she meets a man her age who runs a military academy for teenage boys. Somehow she goes home with him and he thinks she's a teenager and he's trying to help her out. Her name is Susan but in her disguise she goes by SueSue. At the military academy all the boys love her of course because she's hot, and the Cary Grant type guy has a niece who's on to her but helps her keep the secret. Anyway, Susan is falling for this guy but she has to go on pretending to be a teenager.

I think the title had "lieutenant" in it, or whatever military rank the character was.

In Cary Grant's filmography it lists The Bachelor and the Bobbysoxer but that had Shirley Temple, who actually was a teenager, and in that one he's a playboy, not a polite military school headmaster.

Has anyone seen this?

[abcdefz]

The Major and the Minor

[Nuzzolese]

YES!!! YAY! I take back what I said about The Family Circus.

Ginger Rogers! Billy Wilder! Of course.

And Ray Milland, not familiar with him other than this movie, but his career spanned 7 decades.

[abcdefz]

Ray Milland. The Lost Weekend, right?


Okay, here's one: Who originally had Richard Dreyfuss' role in The Goodbye Girl?

Now, here's another weird new one. Matt Damon was originally considered as Robin when they first were casting Batman Forever. Guess who auditioned but didn't get the part?

















































...Christian Bale. Ironic, eh?
