OK.  Must be Pokemon.  Never watched it (or played it).

George

It  must be, and it is.   Your turn.

OK, it wasn't Boston.

Supposing the women cops are "Cagney and Lacey",  the city might be NYC.  The High School for the Performing Arts was very important in the movie and the TV show, "FAME."   I seem to recall some show based on the real school, some reality show.   So, IF I have the right city (which is a big "if"),    that could be the reality series and the city, New York City.

If that's not it, I have another guess.

I've seen a few minutes, but I've never sat down to watch it.

Men in Black II ?

George

I missed seeing this.

Close enough- MIB I.

Your turn!

I managed to restrain myself.  There was an urge to drag that on, despite it only amusing me.  (The shouts would have included "Kimota" and "Alizam" before the right answer.)     OK, we should move on from here....

Was the scene in "It Happened One Night" the one where the guy explains to the woman how to hitchhike, then demonstrates it very unsuccessfully, and then she tries it and stops the next car immediately by flashing her leg?

OK, I can hear the song a smidge better this time. 

The band is LED ZEPPELIN.

If not, it Should Be.  

(What do you mean, it Should Never Be?)

I've heard this song.  It's either the Rolling Stones or The Who.

"SLICK KIDS" by The Who????

OK, enough joking.

SHAZAM!

Should be CLARK GABLE.

GEORGE!

"TOGA! TOGA!"

Get out, that was correct? 

Hang on.....

Billy!

I think this should be an easy one. I hope this crowd thinks so.

"Gotta catch 'em all!"

"Pikachu, I choose you!"

I thought that last one was Johnny Cash, or nobody I knew.

This one is indeed a famous quote.  Now, if I only knew which famous movie it went with...

"A Stranger Calls"????

Richard Gere           Pretty Woman           Julia Roberts

"I'm sure you're both being very clever, but I'm still not getting it."

We agree.

"If "George" is a clue, then it could be George of the Jungle, but that wasn't a horror film."

You found the only part of that post that was NOT a clue, and went looking for the relevance as a clue. "George" is you, so it was addressed to you.  The rest of it was all one clue.  And this COULD have been a horror film, especially considering the story upon which it was based.  But they chose not to go there enough for the movie to qualify.

"Something about St. George COULD be, but not all US kids (these days) would know who that is."

OK, there's only so many OLD STORIES that all kids would know, would learn.  Even fewer have inspired stories that became movies.  Two did- and were eliminated as suspects because of the actors who were in them.  (So, it was not "Hansel and Gretel- Witch Hunters" because Jeremy "Hawkeye" Renner was in it. "Snow White and the Huntsman" was not it either because Chris "Thor" Hemsworth was in it.)   What stories are LEFT?  I guarantee you know the song that was inspired by the story. You've seen cartoons inspired by the story- at least one of them with Bugs Bunny.  Figure out which story, then you should have no trouble getting the movie. 

Never mind. I don't have time for this, I'm working the swing shift over at Lockheed. I'll see you later.

HEY GEORGE!

That's an awful big clue for you.

To have!

I presume Raf's and your latest post include subtle clues, too; but I'm still not getting it.  Hating oneself in the morning could refer to a werewolf, but I can't think of any 21st century movies about one.  "Taking a powder" and hating oneself in the morning could be Jekyll and Hyde, but I still come up goose eggs.  The "US kids" clue isn't helping, either.

George

Raf directly quoted something that was not the movie- but it also reference the old story.  I replied with a reference to the same thing.

BTW, had it been a reference to a werewolf, there's been a bunch of movies since the turn of the century about werewolves, not the least of which was Benicio del Toro in the remake of the old Universal one with Lon Chaney Jr.

I keep mentioning that little kids in the US all grow up learning the old story upon which these movies draw. It's not obscure, we ALL know about this old story.  I'm not sure about kids who grew up in other countries.  If you figure out the old story, you should be able to figure out the answer.  And my reference to actors eliminated one possibility of a movie, which eliminated one old story as the possibility.

I suspect that Human gave us three movie titles, not actors or roles.

George

If that is so, he's posting in the wrong thread.  (It might not be so.)

If not, those either have to be 3 roles one actor played, or 3 actors who shared the same role, for this thread. I have trouble picturing an actor calling himself "The Tender Bar"- but that's no guarantee there isn't one. I mean, Prince named himself an abstract symbol for a decade.
