Yes, I picked quotes that I felt made it clear we were talking about Norman Bates but also that time had passed since the first movie. Or so I thought. I'm also taking an extended break from games, in case that was not clear.

He was, but he wasn't in ALL of them. The next round will be the giveaway, if no one gets it before then. George

I don't remember the first line ever appearing in "The Honeymooners," but it was always Gleason's introduction to the main show after his preliminary "coffee" cup monologue. Of course, for a few years, TJGS featured Honeymooners skits. George

That is correct. I remember watching it and getting a kick out of some of the tongue-in-cheek humor. As far as I know, it's the only show starring Desi Arnaz, JUNIOR. George

That's the one. We played "Colonel Bogey March" in band a couple of years ago. The director thought it was funny that the program notes still refer to BOTRK, a movie that come out before most of the audience was born. George

Correct. My next quote would have been "Leapin' lizards!" George

Barry came and went while I was sleeping, too. George

I think LEONARDO DI CAPRIO was in at least 2 of those.

The first quote could possibly have been "the Honeymooners". Since the second could not be, that makes this show "THE JACKIE GLEASON SHOW", (or "The Jackie Gleason Hour", or whatever it was.)

Taking a swing, but I have to eliminate this one because I keep thinking of it. "AUTOMAN"?????

Oh, "BRIDGE OVER THE RIVER KWAI", featuring "Colonel Bogey's March!"

Taking an educated guess here.... "ANNIE"???

That explains why I couldn't recognize any of the quotes.

Thanks to everyone for sharing your thoughts on my posts in both the Christian and atheist forums. The challenge I have of respecting the boundary between the two shows how counter-productive it is for me to continue trying to do so. It's time to make a clean break from all things biblical.

I am choosing not to micromanage this thread. If the Christians are ok having their faith questioned outside the questioning faith forum, cool. But for precedent's sake, let's not make a habit of it.

"I guess they're dead. I guess I've known that deep down for a long time." "I'm not giving up. Don't you give up." "I didn't want to be just another orphan. I wanted to believe I was special." "You are special! Never stop believing that!" "You spend your evenings in the shanties." "You had me followed." "Imbibing quarts of bathtub gin." "Bronchitism." "And here you're dancing in your scanties..." "Great gams." "With some old geezer called Little Caeser." "He's an uncle." "Absolutely not! I'm a businessman. I love money, I love power, I love capitalism. I do not now and never will love children." "What are you just standing around here for? You're supposed to clean the bathroom and the kitchen before lunch, my little pig droppings, and if you skip the corners, there will be no lunch. And we're not having hot mush today." "Yay!" "We're having cold mush!" George

Expectations of Allied POWS in this WWII movie were that Japan should have honored the Geneva Convention. Actually, Japan wasn't a signatory to the treaty until 1953. (Interestingly, misdeeds by the Japanese prompted revision of the treaty in 1949.) The commandant of the prison was portrayed as being ruthless. According to many of his prisoners after the war, the actual Japanese officer on whom the role was based was one of the more humane and reasonable ones. To keep costs down, producer Sam Spiegel decided not to hire any extras, using crew members and Ceylon locals instead. This meant that some of the British prisoners were really natives of the region wearing make-up to appear Caucasian. For the scene when he emerges from "the oven" after several days confined there, Sir Alec Guinness based his faltering walk on that of his son Matthew when he was recovering from polio. Guinness regarded this one tiny scene as some of the finest work he did throughout his entire career. Sir Laurence Olivier was offered Guinness's part but turned it down in order to direct The Prince and the Showgirl (1957) instead. In retrospect, Olivier said that it was a sensible decision to go off and do love scenes with Marilyn Monroe rather than tough it out in the jungles of Ceylon with director Sir David Lean. For those who haven't seen the movie, it is best remembered by the whistled march tune it features. George

Okay...another exchange from the same movie: "Kill me before the war is over, will you? It appears that you are not the better man." "You're right. My sons were better men." George

I would have thought that one pretty easy (though the show was on decades ago). Maybe this will help: "And awaaayyy we go!" "And now, the June Taylor Dancers!" George

This was the most expensive television show to produce at the time, costing over a million dollars to make each episode, which was one of the reasons it was canceled after only 13 episodes. The actor playing the titular character based his performance on William Shatner as Captain Kirk in Star Trek (1966) of which he is a big fan. A video game based on this series produced by Bug-Byte Software was released for the Commodore 64 platform in 1985. The titular character was a hologram, but no CGI was used on the show, just traditional animation and editing techniques. The star of the show was far less famous than his Cuban bandleader father (whom the star portrayed in the movie "The Mambo Kings"). The father and his (then-) wife were TV innovators, credited with developing the three-camera technique and syndicated reruns. George

I'd like to take a stab at answering this even though it's rhetorical. In a word, experience. God, Jesus and the Holy Ghost (each individual persons) desire people to love them each personally from the heart. What do you do when you love someone? You talk to them. Ask them things. Spend time with them, think about what they want and try to do what pleases them, because you love them and want to make them happy. And they in turn love you back. All of this takes time, energy, patience, persistence, and faith. And at times, suffering and inconvenience. I believe this is how a relationship is formed with these great persons without any middleman.

I can save you some time WordWolf. That's definitely "White Room". Good for you.
