Just to clarify, what I meant by "basis in reality"... I dislike people making up their own definitions for things. Ever see someone say they're a vegan but they eat meat? If someone claims to be a pacifist, I don't expect to see them starting fist-fights in the street. So, if someone claims they're a "Christian", it's expected that they believe Jesus of Nazareth is/was the CHRIST, thus the name. I mind less the person who's clear they don't believe the Bible than the person who doesn't but claims they do.

One thing I've noticed, TLC, is people claiming they're Christian without any real basis in reality. I saw someone claim outright they didn't believe in the Bible AND didn't believe Jesus is/was the Christ/Messiah. I mean, it's right in the name! So, I brought that up, and someone came in loudly, saying they didn't need to justify their claim despite having their own definition for Christian. Hasn't happened often to me (that I've noticed), but it has happened.

"MY GENERATION," the Who.

That's him. About 1/2 the roles I listed were from SNL and about 1/2 were from different movies.

I've definitely heard the song before, but I can't remember anything but the title with its music. Obviously there was a whole song with that line, but I have no memory of the rest of it. Oh, well.

The title, which you posted (more or less), is "They're Coming To Take Me Away". Courtesy of Napoleon the 14th. Your turn.

"Remem-ber- when you ran- away and I- got on- my knees- and begged- you not- to leave- because- I'd go= berZERK?"

Was this "Bozo" or "the Howdy Doody Show"?????

Offering a sign of peace?

I would have. At that hour, I'm usually not carrying change in my pockets. During the day, I don't carry much change, and it generally isn't US coinage, obviously.

"Down on the Corner." At the moment, I don't actually have a nickel in my pocket, for reasons that should be obvious in hindsight. :)

I think I'd have recognized it if I knew this song, so I'm confident now that I don't know it at all.

You were all over the map there, but I'll count this as correct. The second one had the girl, Newt. She's the "her" in the line. She survived initial attacks that wiped out her colony.

Didn't mean to leave this hanging. Yes, that is correct. BTW, the unfinished sentence at the end was obviously going to be "Gentlemen, this will be the day you will always remember as the day you ALMOST caught Jack Sparrow" but events in the scene interrupted the line.

"Get away from her, you b!tch!"

"I'm just mad about Saffron."

"ANIMAL HOUSE!" And I still haven't seen the entire movie. But I've seen the ending several times with the parade....

That's pretty much the same principle we see in effect when Gideon's discussed. He overthrew Baal's altar, and when people protested, he complained that BAAL should protest, since BAAL is the one who was offended. So, Gideon got the nickname "Jerubbaal", "Contender with Baal." Much later, Gideon was referred to as "Jerubbesheth", or "Contender with Idols." Rather than continue to give Baal free press, the nickname was changed to refer to idols, still referencing the same incident.

My usual rule-of-thumb is "Would people who've never seen this movie recognize the quote? " That's especially helpful for me, since I see so few movies.. Naturally, that's not a thread-wide rule, but it helps me stop from posting quotes from niche movies nobody here's heard of, let alone seen.

Sounds vaguely familiar, but nothing's coming to mind.

"Fly Like an Eagle". (Steve Miller Band, I think, although the band name is not required.)

Elsa Benitez?

"Home Alone?"

Since I didn't say so directly, YES.
