Well, I'm with you so far, but your memory may surprise you. (Or it may not.) You have the actor, getting the actress is tougher- any thoughts on whose career found this a great opportunity?

Led Zep 3. Aaaaah! You're stuck on this one?

This 1980s film's main actress uses her legal name as her stage name. This movie put her on the map, but an early 1990s film re-introduced her to Hollywood's short attention span. The main actor's legal name is David Jones, but he changed it so he wouldn't be confused with Davy Jones of The Monkees. This movie was produced by George Lucas.

Ok, next one. Roy Loomis Wade Lewis Hank Wilson Owen Legate Paul Bratter Charlie Reeves Harry Alonzo Longabaugh Christopher Cooper

That's "BUNGLE IN THE JUNGLE", (by "the inventor of the seed drill.")

Um, "Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In"?

"I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand, walking through the streets of Soho in the rain."

Was this RAQUEL WELCH?

Wordpup passed through and said it was "MI Am the Walrus".

Of course you can still subscribe! A) They're charging for everything because twi, traditionally, has always charged for everything. There was a tiny window when that wasn't the case, and that was gone by 1990. They're determined to MAKE A PROFIT off their data connection, same as with anything else. B) Of course you're still able to buy the CDs or DVDS. Under Rosa-lie if not sooner, everyone was REQUIRED to get the CDs/DVDs/tapes in some form whether or not they'd heard the connection live. Again, it's all organized to turn a profit. Someone could show up Sunday and listen to the audio hookup, then participate during the week when the local twig went over the content, and ALSO have a copy for personal use., As the substance thinned, it became mandatory to buy the same thing multiple times in different forms.

Ok, next movie. This movie eventually gained a cult following. When it was released, it was a box office disappointment- it had a budget of $25 million and the US theatrical run resulted in a box office of $12.9 million. The director was quite despondent about that- he had been hoping to direct serious and weighty films, and that never worked (neither did this), so he gave up directing and his career went into a rough patch. The first draft of the script was by Terry Jones, and a number of people did work on later drafts (like George Lucas) but received no writing credit for it. The film has a main actor and a main actress. Nobody seems to be able to remember any other actors from the movie unless they're really fans of the movie. Both the main actor and main actress were in a few roles before this. IMHO, this is the first movie that either of them is actually REMEMBERED FOR. Both have acted since, and both have had successful careers (although his was not primarily in acting, hers is.) He has passed away, she's still alive.

That's a little ditty about "JACK AND DIANE." (Courtesy of John Cougar Mellencamp, as he was known then.)

Get Smart Steve Carell Anchorman- the Legend of Ron Burgundy

(OS was on the roof, in direct line of fire, when the entire reactor blew, which is why it was blown intentionally. This was a much better exit than in the corresponding comic story- when OS found himself unable to match IM without tricks- and was out of tricks- he took off his helmet and repulsored his own head clean off to deny IM the chance to beat him directly.The movie plot was greatly superior to the story that was used for inspiration.) Ok, next movie, let's see.... Just Go With It Nicole Kidman Billy Bathgate

I'm a little curious about him writing an entire (short) book about it, and an "Encyclopedia of Science" finding his grasp of science and of explanation of science sufficient to include in their book. Any chance we can get the publishing information on either book? This is 2021, we might be able to find copies of them with a little information. Or do we have to take it on faith that this book was written AND that it was quoted in an encyclopedia of science?

Wait, I had a thought. Could be a clever thought, or it could just be another weird idea. The guy could be Ray Liotta's character in "GOODFELLAS." At the end, he went into the Federal Witness Protection Program, and couldn't find any good Italian food in Smalltown USA. At the beginning of "MY BLUE HEAVEN<" Steve Martin's character enters the Federal Witness Protection Program- and has trouble adjusting to life neither mobbed up nor in a city of any size (and lacking any good Italian food, he imagines.)

So, proceeding from "Iron Man 2", let's skip Vanko for once, and, since we can't use Rhodey, I can go with one of the other characters who was introduced in that movie.... Sam Rockwell Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Alan Rickman

"Hello darkness, my old friend, I've come to talk with you again."

Here's what I have (which is not a movie, yet.) We have TWO movies that came out in the same year about the same guy, an actual guy. That almost certainly means it was about something fairly recent and in the news (unless it was the anniversary of a crime or something.) This was a story of a guy who did not-very-good things (no "Sully Sullenberger's story" or anything like that.) The guy in question was alive when this aired. The guy is Caucasian- because otherwise it makes no sense to think Travolta could pass for him, or that someone who passed for Travolta's Mom could pass for his Mom. This ALL (actions and filming) happened a few decades ago (and the guy was young in the film) or happened in the last decade or so (and the guy's not young but probably not depicted as retired.) On the off-chance the guy is not the lead, then the clues about Travolta don't apply to him at all. The only possible not-very-nice guys that come to mind for me would be either : Joey Buttafuoco (the famous Long Island Lolita case had something that WAS played up for comedy that was performed about it), or Frank Abegnale Junior (if Abegnale is the guy and the lead is the Treasury Dept agent who went after him. IF it is either (which is a big jump), then I'm leaning towards the latter- if there was a movie OTHER than "Catch Me If You Can" that appeared about Abegnale at the same time. On the other hand, it's probably neither Buttafuoco nor Abegnale. Were there multiple movies about the Enron scandal?

BZZT!!! Jeff Bridges did not appear in Iron Man 2, not even in archival footage. We're at Iron Man 2. Plenty of characters to choose from.

That's Rod Stewart's "Maggie".

"Kodachrome", Simon & Garfunkel, I think.
