  1. "Once upon a Time in Mexico"? George
  2. Since it's not a Western and not a fairy tale... "Once Upon a Time in the West"? George
  3. Since Human hasn't posted another... You may think I'm fooling For the foolish things I do You may wonder how come I love you When you get on my nerves like you do Well baby, you know you bug me There ain't no secret about that George
  4. Human is close. I'm disqualified for looking it up. It's not a movie I've seen or even remember. George
  5. Maybe Human didn't see the picture you posted, T-Bone. George
  6. At First Sight Mira Sorvino The Replacement Killers George
  7. It is, indeed, "Fast Times at Ridgemont High." It wasn't until almost the very end, when Mr. Hand goes to Jeff Spicoli's home to reclaim "his time" before letting him go off to prom, that I recognized the scene from the Playboy short story. The movie, of course, had many scenes not in the story. I refused to pay several dollars JUST to look at photos of naked women, so I almost always read the articles. T-Bone's turn. George
  8. Sometimes I use Snipping Tool to copy the picture. That stops the steal. I was just lazy, this time. George
  9. This will exhaust the actors portraying this role: Sean Kenney Anson Mount Bruce Greenwood Jeffrey Hunter George
  10. Here's another film that I first saw as a short story in Playboy. (It's pretty easy.)
  11. I wish you had given a little longer after giving your last clue. I read "Duel" in Playboy and remember when the movie came out. (For some reason, I think of it as a made-for-TV film, but maybe that's because I saw it on TV and not in a theater.) George
  12. A Time to Kill Donald Sutherland M*A*S*H George
  13. Sky High Kelly Preston The Experts George
  14. WW, I'm SHOCKED that you would use Bernie Casey from ROTN, after I used him to get TO ROTN! Try again. George
  15. I do remember Card Sharks (the one I kept thinking was Joker's Wild). That and The Price is Right are the only ones I've heard of. I don't purchase Marvel comics (with a couple of exceptions over the years), so, no, the Avengers reference was lost on me. It was primarily because of Drew Carey. I remember a MAD Magazine issue, MANY years ago, about TPIR, where a contestant knew the price of everything TO THE PENNY. It annoyed everyone so much that the grand prize was a rocket ship (whose price he knew, exactly). When he won, they got rid of him by shooting him into space. New one soon. George
  16. I suspect that I'm familiar with this movie, but it's not coming to me yet. George
  17. "Lava"? or "Volcano"? I suspect the others are even less familiar with obscure game shows than I am. George
  18. Sharky's Machine Bernie Casey Revenge of the Nerds George
  19. When Clint Eastwood made the comedy Every Which Way but Loose (1978), this actor reportedly said to him, "Clint, you're getting into my territory [comedy], and if it's a success, I'm going out and make 'Dirty Harry Goes to Atlanta'!". When this movie went into production, Eastwood sent a telegram to the actor saying, "You really weren't kidding, were you?" This was Rachel Ward's first major motion picture. (She was not the star.) She was cast six days before shooting began. The director likened it to starting filming on "King Kong" without having the gorilla. The romantic sub-plot of this movie's storyline has been likened to that of the classic 'film noir' Laura (1944). The Orion Pictures studio acquired the film rights to William Diehl's source novel of the same name for a reported US $400,000 according to the 10th January 1979 edition of show-business trade paper Daily Variety. The picture often played on a double-bill, such as in second runs and at drive-ins, with Mickey Spillane's "I, the Jury" (1982), as both had 18+ classification certificates, and both were distributed by Warner Brothers in certain territories. Quotes from the star, who also directed: "Most directors cast actors on the basis of what they've seen before, and they don't want surprises; they want the actor to give another version of what he's already done. I try to do the opposite. I tell the actors, 'You've done that before, so let's go for something else.' On this picture I did with my actors what I always wanted other directors to do with me, which is to say, 'O.K., I have what I want, now you do what you want.' Sometimes magical things happen that way. I had lots of ideas, but I was open to any ideas the actors had. There really was a wonderful feeling of camaraderie" "In my picture the good guys win and the bad guys, the dopers, lose. That's important to me: I don't like dopers. I get mad as hell when I hear that studios are coddling actors who are always high on cocaine." George
  20. Okay, then. Sean Kenney Anson Mount Bruce Greenwood George
