Wait -- Cannonball Run was originally NOT a comedy, but they wanted Don Rickles in it? George

I don't know. George

A man is reunited with his long-lost father, which works out great initially but then turns sour, and the man has to kill his father. (The man who raised the son dies, also.) In the meantime, two step-sisters duke it out, but wind up friends. George

I think I saw this discussed on "The Big bang Theory." "Raiders of the Lost Ark"? George

I think I saw about two episodes of BB. Dissolving bodies in HF seemed a bit odd to me, though I suspect that it would work. Although the show is set in NYC, Palm trees are visible in the opening scenes and credits as the show was filmed in Los Angeles. In summer 1984, a popular movie made one of the stars, at the time a relative unknown, a household name. NBC bought the rights to the ABC sitcom and re-aired select episodes to lead off their Saturday night line-up. The main characters are named after two bars in Berkeley, CA: "Kip's" and "Henry's." George

"Cannonball Run"? George

I haven't seen the movie, but if it's like the TV show, I'll guess 12 Monkeys George

Breaking Bad? George

Sarah Bernhardt Bette Davis Jean Simmons Glenda Jackson George

More detail than necessary, but correct. :-) George

Of course they are. I just meant that a British woman would likely play the role, as opposed to an American (or other) actress. George

Perhaps I should have said "fan of Who(m)." Although I don't recognize those names as being Dr. Who, I do seem to recall, vaguely, that there was one female Doctor, and the Brit, Lumley, could fit the bill. George

Almost certainly a '70s movie. The only one with Valerie Perrine that comes to mind immediately (well, except for the Superman movies) is Slaughterhouse 5, but I don't think Fonda or Jagger were in it. George

That's the problem with quoting from memory, rather than looking it up. "General, would you care to step outside?" George

I guess the question then is, "Fan of what?" Two popular cultural areas of which I have essentially no knowledge are Dr. Who and Harry Potter. (To that, you can add Walking Dead and Game of Thrones, but each of those has essentially one incarnation, so there wouldn't be multiple actors portraying the same role.) We seem to have an impasse, here, unless you've been holding back the REAL obvious one(s). Raf has essentially recused himself; Human doesn't seem to have any idea; and I'm at a loss, as well. George

It's hard to think of a "revisionist" movie description. Otherwise, it's just movie mash-up.

The only ones from the list I can put a face to are Hurt, Cushing, Atkinson, Hugh Grant, and Lumley. The woman, of course, throws a wrench into this, but there are a number of traditionally male roles now being portrayed by women, e.g., Watson and Moriarty on "Elementary." Let's try another "Holmesian" role: Inspector Lastrade? George

With absolutely no influence from Raf's post, I'll guess the Devil (or Lucifer, or Satan, or whatever) George

It's just hard to picture Peter Cushing and Rowan Atkinson performing the same role. George

I thought I responded to this. (Must have hit "Back" instead of "Submit Reply." I do that, sometimes...) I never read "Strange Tales." This reminded ME of Hank Hall becoming Monarch in the Armageddon 2001 stories. Of course, now we know it's not the "real" Flash who becomes Savitar, but a "time remnant." That would have to be the case, because future "real" Flash trapped Savitar without ever learning his identity. Not possible if current Flash, Savitar, and future Flash were the same being. The "Savitar has Barry's memories" thing has brought up all sorts of anomalies. First, when Barry is stripped of his memories, so is Savitar. Why? If Barry never regained his memory, then Savitar would not exist; if Barry does regain his memory, it all happens before Savitar comes to be, so he should retain all of the memories. It's also bizarre that Savitar only remembers something as it happens in real time. Finally, if Barry's memory loss stops Savitar from coming into being and giving Wally super-speed, why would Wally notice that his super-speed was gone, when it never would have existed? I guess it's like Legends of Tomorrow (or other time travel stories), where somehow the person or group who distorts the time stream somehow retains memories of how it "should be." Finally, the most recent Flash (week of 5/15). I did NOT see that coming, though I suppose it could be said that I've seen it since the beginning of the season. As an aside, Danielle Panabaker and Candace Patton were at Comicpalooza, here in Houston, this past weekend. Unfortunately, I didn't get to the con until their discussion panels were over. George

Princess Leia "General, would you like to step outside?" George

Wild guess: MacBeth? George

The Breakfast Club Molly Ringwald Sixteen Candles George PS Have you seen Molly on "Riverdale"? She must have put on about 20 pounds for the part.

"What's My Line?" (?) Never mind. That's a question. George

It almost sounds like "Wait! Wait! Don't Tell Me!"; but that's a radio show. George
