  1. "To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer; not to love is to suffer; to suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy, then, is to suffer, but suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be unhappy, one must love or love to suffer or suffer from too much happiness. I hope you're getting this down." "You are the greatest lover I've ever had." "Well, I practice a lot when I'm alone." George
  2. A Room with a View Denholm Elliot Trading Places George
  3. A Study in Terror A Midsummer Night's Dream Wetherby George
  4. A couple of the names are vaguely familiar, but I'm not placing an actor with any of them. George
  5. The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen George
  6. Sounds reasonable to me. It's been years since I saw the movie, and I don't remember the "talking with carrots" bit, but it certainly would fit these clues. George
  7. The League of Distinguished Gentlemen? George
  8. I figured that highlighting "a week" would be enough of a hint. Yes, "7 Days." A time sphere can send a "chrononaut" back in time seven days after some sort of catastrophe in order to try to prevent it. Since the chrononaut checks in with the central command seven days before anything will have happened, he says the word "conundrum" to let them know that he was coming in for a debrief and to plan further actions. When the 9/11 attacks occurred, it made me really wish someone could have done that, stopping the hijackers (and maybe popping Bin Laden in his cave). George
  9. This show aired from 1998-2001. I wonder if I was the only one on 9/11/2001 who thought it would have been great to go back a week and stop the attack before it happened. Norman Lloyd's character in the series is named Isaac Mentnor. It's a hint for Marvel Comics, where Isaac actually is I.S.A.A.C. (short for Integral Synaptic Anti-Anionic Computer), a sentient program capable to create robotic forms that rules Titan, Jupiter's moon. I.S.A.A.C. was created by Mentor, leader of the Titans and Thanos' father. When Project Backstep is in play, the password is "Conundrum." An Australian actor portrayed the main American character, and a Brit played the Russian female lead. The two actors did NOT get along on set. The woman quit in the middle of the third season after agreeing to film a few scenes to close her character's arc. Her departure induced UPN not to renew for another season. George
  10. Probably the most famous scene from the movie is when, after Clark Gable had failed to hail a passing car, Claudette Colbert brings one to a screeching halt by hiking up her skirt and sticking a leg out. "The leg is mightier than the thumb." Hitchhiking had been around for decades (if not centuries), so that's not it. Maybe women's stockings? Nylon was invented a couple of years after the movie came out. George
  11. Men in Tights Cary Elwes The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare George
  12. Ah. Of course, now I had to go back and see which one had "The" in the title. (THE second one.) At any rate, WW's up. George
  13. The trick to this thread (and Flicks Remembered from One Line) is that some song (or movie) that may be a favorite of yours is not on anybody else's radar. Songs (or movies) like that are better suited to Name That Tune (or Flick). This is not a ding on Waysider, who seems to have an almost encyclopedic knowledge of popular music. (Heck, he even knew "You Never Even Called Me by My Name," which would be well known to those interested in C&W but out of the wheelhouse of our other regulars.) George
  14. The second one is correct. Raf can say which one he regretted watching more. George
  15. It always rhymed with "Ruth" in my head. I'd never heard it out loud. George
  16. I always liked Plakson. Funny. She was a Klingon, Keh-lar (or however it's spelled); a Vulcan, Selar; and a Q (Q-lar?). I haven't watched HIMYM. Maybe I should. George
  17. Obviously Picard to Worf (Capt. Sisko reprimanded Worf for blowing a mission to save his wife in DS9, but that was well after Worf's family name was cleared). I think this might have been at the beginning of the Klingon civil war. Worf convinced Gowron that the house of Duras was responsible for the Khitomer massacre. I don't remember the episode title, though. George
