  1. Brando. "Go ahead, make my day." “I know what you're thinking. Did he fire six shots or only five? Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I've kinda lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, punk?” "Ever notice how you come across somebody once in a while you shouldn't have f****ed with? That's me." George
  2. No idea. Seems to be sci-fi, but I'm not getting it. George
  3. Still not it. This biopic about a singer had the lead role offered to Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Cruise, Bruce Willis, and Johnny Depp. None of them would likely have done their own singing, but the actor who finally got the part did (and quite well, IMHO). The movie is also a love story. The actual couple were only a few years apart in age, but the actors were over 20 years apart. The actor playing the lead was actually a few years older than the actual singer was when he died. The singer's crush/girlfriend/wife was a famous movie star. She died of kidney cancer two months after the movie was released. Drew Barrymore was considered for the role, but it went to Kate Bosworth. George
  4. Since you're the only one trying, I'll tell you: They were the only two MVPs to win while playing for last-place teams. MVPs are usually on contenders. FREE POST George
  5. Not the same year. Alex Rodriguez (in 2003 with the Rangers) and Andre Dawson (in 1987 with the Cubs) won baseball MVP awards. What was unusual about those two wins? Neither team went to the World Series (in those years). George Think about my hint (1962 Mets).
  6. The Day the Earth Stood Still "Are you trying to seduce me, Mrs. Robinson?" George
  7. No. They did change teams over the years, but this question refers specifically to the years they won the MVP award. George
  8. It would be like Frank Thomas (not "The Big Hurt") winning the 1962 MVP while playing for the Mets. George
  9. It's a Wonderful Life "Your Honor, every one of these letters is addressed to Santa Claus. The Post Office has delivered them. Therefore, the Post Office Department, a branch of the Federal Government, recognizes this man Kris Kringle to be the one and only Santa Claus." George
  10. Wrong couple. Good guess, though. George
  11. I knew what he meant. I just don't know whether he was actually answering to get the next shot or hoping someone else would get it. George
  12. This isn't Beetlejuice. You can say the name. George
  13. Sounds vaguely familiar, but I don't "remember it from one line." George
  14. This show was originally to be an adventure drama, "Seven Against the Sea." It was re-tooled as a comedy and was very successful. The star of the show originally turned down the role, figuring that as an Oscar-winning actor, TV would have been a bit of a demotion. But when talking with a young boy who didn't recognize him but who could name the stars of several TV shows, he decided to take the part, one for which he is probably best remembered. George
  15.

  16. It is a song, but it's the showstopper from a famous movie (musical). George
  17. No. Maybe this will make it a LITTLE easier: Alex Rodriguez (in 2003 with the Rangers) and Andre Dawson (in 1987 with the Cubs) won baseball MVP awards. What was unusual about those two wins? George
  18. "Ladies and gentlemen: the story you are about to hear is true. Only the names have been changed to protect the innocent." George
