Correctamundo. George

Close. (In genre, if not cast,etc.) "Dan, we didn't see this thing coming?" "Well, our object collison budget's a million dollars, that allows us to track about 3% of the sky, and beg'n your pardon sir, but it's a big-foot sky." "With the proximity of the asteroid, and no prep time, none of our primary plans can work." "Why don't we just send up a hundred and fifty nuclear warheads and blast that rock apart?" "You know we're sitting on four million pounds of fuel, one nuclear weapon and a thing that has 270,000 moving parts built by the lowest bidder. Makes you feel good, doesn't it?" "You wanna compare brainpans? I won the Westinghouse prize when I was 12, big deal. Published at 19, so what. I got a double doctorate from MIT at 22, Chemistry and Geology. I taught at Princeton for two and a half years." "I know the presidents' chief scientific advisor, we were at MIT together. And, in a situation like this, you-you really don't wanna take the advice from a man who got a C minus in astrophysics. The presidents' advisors are... wrong. I'm right." "It is stuck, yes?" "Back off! You don't know the components!" "Components. American components, Russian Components, ALL MADE IN TAIWAN!" George

A free-spirited woman kidnaps a man to help her save President Grant from a mad scientist. Starring Melanie Griffith and Will Smith. George

Googling to move along... Lincoln Sally Field Forrest Gump George

Well, if I hadn't seen the film, it wouldn't have been easy. Besides, in this thread, the clues are SUPPOSED to be easy! :) "Feed the birds! Tuppence a bag!" George

That "Get it" "Got it" Good" bit seems really familiar. Was this an Abbott and Costello film? George

"Double Jeopardy"? George

Not Air Force One. This might make it easier: "With the proximity of the asteroid, and no prep time, none of our primary plans can work." "Why don't we just send up a hundred and fifty nuclear warheads and blast that rock apart?" "You know we're sitting on four million pounds of fuel, one nuclear weapon and a thing that has 270,000 moving parts built by the lowest bidder. Makes you feel good, doesn't it?" "You wanna compare brainpans? I won the Westinghouse prize when I was 12, big deal. Published at 19, so what. I got a double doctorate from MIT at 22, Chemistry and Geology. I taught at Princeton for two and a half years." "I know the presidents' chief scientific advisor, we were at MIT together. And, in a situation like this, you-you really don't wanna take the advice from a man who got a C minus in astrophysics. The presidents' advisors are... wrong. I'm right." "It is stuck, yes?" "Back off! You don't know the components!" "Components. American components, Russian Components, ALL MADE IN TAIWAN!" George

Was this a version of Peter Pan? George

Not Fail Safe. Not a bad guess, though. "You know we're sitting on four million pounds of fuel, one nuclear weapon and a thing that has 270,000 moving parts built by the lowest bidder. Makes you feel good, doesn't it?" "You wanna compare brainpans? I won the Westinghouse prize when I was 12, big deal. Published at 19, so what. I got a double doctorate from MIT at 22, Chemistry and Geology. I taught at Princeton for two and a half years." "I know the presidents' chief scientific advisor, we were at MIT together.

Rottie, you didn't need to give the other show. As I understand it (I have not seen this), Bryan Cranston from "Breaking Bad," wakes up with Jane Kaczmarek from "Malcolm in the Middle," saying he had a dream about being a drug lord... George

A free-spirited woman kidnaps a man to help her save President Grant from a mad scientist. George

I didn't remember Reagan, but I still have a mind picture of the 20-mule team, which sort of reminds me of Death Valley. One TV series ended with an episode where the star wakes up in bed with his "wife" from a previous series, implying that the whole later series was a dream. I believe that this stunt was also repeated on a recently-ended show, but in a joke trailer, not part of the actual series. Name the older show and the series to which it "returned." If you can do so with the newer show, give the same info. George

I hate when that happens. :lol: I don't recognize this song, though. George

I suppose I could find out what movies Rathbone was in when he was 63, but I'll wait for more clues. I'm intrigued. George

I'm tempted just to say "The Avengers," as it seems like a cross between the Marvel movie and the Steed/Peel movie. George

I know that hiway knows this. I wonder if Human or RG has a clue... :) George

I don't think that Excie is disgusted that that's the quote next to her avatar. She put it there. I believe that she is expressing her disgust at the pig who fed her that line, to begin with. George

A particular fictional character says that repeatedly. If you haven't seen any movies about him, you might not recognize it. That's why I left it open to choose from three movies. To make WW happy, I'll use this quote, but that now limits it to ne film: "What is best in life?" "To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women." George

WW is correct. Both movies involve competing Directors of spy organizations, with one trying to discredit the other with false information, making a man chosen at random in an airport out to be a spy. In the (French) original, a tall, blond, violinist arrives at the airport with one shoe black and the other red, because he had stepped in red paint. In the American version, a not-quite-so-tall brunet violinist arrives at the airport wearing a black shoe and a red sneaker, because one of his friends hid the other shoes. So, both men wore one black shoe and one red one; the movie titles picked different shoes. Go, WW. George

All right. The title of the French film was "Le Grand Blond avec Une Chaussure Noire." What was the American film? (Note: it is NOT a direct translation of the French.) George

"Death Valley Days"? George

Correct. It was a favorite at my house. And, it did run about seven seasons, so it wasn't TOO obscure... :) George The "almost live" part rings a bell. I keep wanting to say "Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In," but that was filmed in Burbank. George

My, aren't WE impatient! The movie title(s) refer to footwear. George

Actually, it DOESN'T have to be a Western. And it's not a comedy. Starred Vic Morrow as Sgt. Saunders George
