Shall I just flip the cards? George

The source material for this movie was credited to Isaac Asimov, but in fact his "book" was a collection of short essays, one of them based on the works of Earl and Otto Binder ("Eando Binder"). Two TV-movie adaptations of the Binders' story appeared, in 1964 and 1995. (Otto Binder also wrote many comic books in the 60s and 70s and is considered the creator of Supergirl.) The original title for the film was "Hardwired." Director Alex Proyas had a difficult time with 20th Century Fox studio head Tom Rothman, who was threatening to remove the film's ending and replace it with "more jokes" just days before the film's premiere. Proyas intended to write a book about his experience making the film, which he describes as trying to run a marathon with the studio constantly throwing chairs in his path, but friends warned him that he'd never work in this town again. Even without the tell-all, this was his last studio film. George

Twilight? George

It's an Addams Family film. I'm thinking, the first. George

Yes No. George

The problem with this thread is the definition of "easy." The first tier of quotes would be those that are so famous that one does not have to have seen the movie to know it. ("Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn." "You can't handle the truth!" "I'm melting! What a world, what a world!") The next tier would be those that, if you have seen the movie, would be instantly recognizable. ("Fat. lazy, and stupid is no way to go through life." "Sometimes, you just can't get rid of a bomb.") If you haven't seen the movie, though, you're not likely to guess it. The problem is the third tier. These are quotes from a movie you've seen so many times that they seem obvious to you but are vaguely recognizable (or unrecognizable) to most people. These quotes are ideal for "Name that Flick" but are maybe out of place here. I've seen "Crimson Tide" (at least, most of it); but the only reason I guessed correctly is that the last quote given basically was the whole plot of the movie. I suspect that there are about 30 first-tier lines. As Human has pointed out, it gets boring to rehash the same quotes over and over. I'll try to stay in first- or second-tier quotes. Now I've got to go think of one. George

Crimson Tide? George

No No No No One of the list is a sibling of another one on the list. George

"They let you dream just to watch 'em shatter You're just a step on the bossman's ladder But you've got dreams he'll never take away." George

It is, indeed. The opening sequence of the show. George

Mariah Carey is correct. In fact, she's #2 behind the Beatles. Tina Turner and Aretha Franklin are not on the list. When all the names are revealed, you'll probably go with a couple of them and with a couple others. George

Beyonce (like Elton John) has only 9 number 1s. Jayzee and Eminem aren't close. One of the solo acts is quite popular this time of year. George (By "solo," that doesn't mean there is no backup band, dancers, etc.)

Of the remaining artists, seven are solo acts (five female, two male), one is a group. Only two of them recorded in the 60's and 70's. George

Judge Reinhold Ruthless People Bette Midler George

That's it. "Once we bring the children back, we shall feast!" [everyone cheers] "Not on them!" [everyone goes quiet] "We don't do that anymore. That is a dark part of our history." Thor, after the God-killer has kidnapped the Asgardian children. "It used to be that being a god, it meant something. People would whisper your name, before sharing their deepest hopes and dreams. They begged you for mercy, without ever knowing if you were actually listening. Now, when they look to the sky, they don't ask us for lightning, they don't ask us for rain, they just want to see one of their so-called superheroes. When did we become the joke? No. No more. They will fear us again..." Zeus, explaining to Thor why he's behaving the way he is. "Call the axe!" "I'll call the axe when you call a dentist!" The God-killer and Thor George

Closer (much). George

Not way off the track, but no. I'll post a few more quotes soon (unless, of course, someone gets it from these). George

I don't recognize any of those lines. George

"When you can take the pebble from my hand, it will be time for you to leave." George
