I clarify- it is neither "the Wizard of Oz" nor any movie of that story, nor inspired by that story. Nothing resembling it.
-
I know people forget this little detail, but North America is 3 countries, Canada, the United States and Mexico. (With DVDs, that's Region 1, and the reason Region 1 DVDs often include English and Spanish and French, but rarely other languages.)

I'm not feeling clever. So, something simple. US History. A) What was the last battle of the "American Revolution", "the War for Independence"?/Where was it fought? B) Who commanded the British forces in that battle? C) Who commanded the US forces in that battle? D) Why were the British forces unable to escape and avoid the battle entirely? Please answer 3 or better. (Of ABCD, any 3 of those, or all 4 of those.)

This next movie is NOT "the Wizard of Oz." I repeat, NOT "the Wizard of Oz." "Auntie Em, Uncle Henry, Toto! It's a twister! It's a twister!" "What was it we had for dinner tonight?" "Well, we had a choice of steak or fish." "Yes, yes, I remember, I had lasagna."

I'll accept the artist, the song, or both. "Don't you love the life you killed? The priest is on the phone. Your father hit the wall. Your ma disowned you. I don't suppose I'll ever know What it means to be a man. It's something I can't change. I'll live around it." "And I'll do anything you ever dreamed to be complete, Little pieces of the nothing that fall. Oh, May. Put your arms around me. What you feel is what you are And what you are is beautiful. Oh, May. Do you want to get married or run away?"

Since I'll name 2, I'm apparently ineligible to win the round. A) There's a lot of legacy characters in the Justice Society, but I'm going with "MISTER TERRIFIC." B) "CN" stands for "Captain Nice." You mentioned him once. It stuck with me.

No, although I suppose both had quite a bit of Yiddish in them.

This is possibly the movie with the most Yiddish spoken in the background, and even in the foreground. (As opposed to movies where it was spoken for 1 scene for about 30 seconds, this one has Yiddish in several scenes.) One of those scenes has Yiddish spoken to the Pennsylvania Dutch! Surprising no one, they did not understand any of it. It also includes a Native American reading Hebrew. ("I did not understand one word.") As a come-from-behind story, it had a strong beginning- the protagonist graduated 87th out of 88 students.

Next song. "Don't you love the life you killed? The priest is on the phone. Your father hit the wall. Your ma disowned you. I don't suppose I'll ever know What it means to be a man. It's something I can't change. I'll live around it."

It was obviously "Burt", and the "t" and "y" keys are adjacent. If there really had been a question, you could always have gone to the imdb page for 'the Dukes of Hazzard' to see which was in that. (As if there really was a question. ) In case there's ever a doubt, that's the best way to check- go back one name and do an imdb search for the actors in that movie or the movies that actor was in.

I remember Pacino being in "Sea of Love," but I'm confident he wasn't in "Coyote Ugly." Hm. Vague memory that John Goodman was in "Argo", and vaguer impression he might have been in "Coyote Ugly." So, John Goodman????

Is there any doubt this is the right answer? Inconceivable! Go, George!

OK, that's plenty to work with! Tom Petty's "Mary Jane's Last Dance." "Last dance with Mary Jane, one more time to kill the pain." Probably his weirdest video, too, was even weirder than the Alice in Wonderland one.

This movie is pretty lean for prospects. Dietrich Bader No, still trying to de-geek a bit and leave some space for the non-geeks. Ron Livingston The Flash Tenuera Morrison Jeremy Irons
-
Statistically, the odds are in favor of Michael Caine being in this movie. (If not him, then Gene Hackman, but I think I might recognize it if it was.) So, Michael Caine plus these quotes means "THE DARK KNIGHT."
-
"As you wish."

Can we get another quote? If I can't hear the tune in my head, I can't get the rest of the lyrics to show up, which means I can't figure out the song. "You Wreck Me"????

I'm wondering if the kid was playing a banjo and... no, lead actor and a lead actress in an antagonistic relationship. And a kid was in the movie. *thinks* Oh! How about "KRAMER VS KRAMER"?

Raf: Every Best Picture winner of the 1970s has been selected by the Library of Congress for inclusion in the National Film Registry for preservation: except this one. The two main adult characters were supposed to have an antagonistic relationship, so to get his scene partner in character, the lead actor would occasionally drop the name of the lead actress' recently deceased fiance, himself an Oscar nominated actor. The lead actress won an Oscar for her role. Later that night, she left it in the bathroom at an after party. The lead actor also won an Oscar. He thanked his ex-wife for preparing him for the role. One non-winner was for Best Supporting Actor. The child who was nominated was 8. He remains the youngest nominee in any category. ========================================== Moving the clue to this page.
