As someone who is confident about the power of God in people's lives, I do not feel threatened in calling out a fake for a fake. The thing we were taught to do in twi, IF YOU WERE TAUGHT IT IN SOME ATHEISTIC ACTOR FASHION, you could SO have done before confessing Jesus as lord. We know that because atheistic actors and children who never confessed Jesus as lord do it all the time. Children do it as a game, without any instructions. Actors learn to overcome inhibitions about looking silly and learn to do it as well. In fact, it's an EARLY exercise for BEGINNING actors, not even something for "advanced" actors. So, if, somehow, you didn't fake it, congratulations. However, you darn well COULD have faked it, and many of us who were trying to serve God accidentally faked it because we did as we were instructed- and we were instructed to fake it while being told "this is genuine." If the real thing is possible today, I don't know. I know I didn't do it, and I know twi's instructions were on how to produce a fake.

As those of us who participated in the past 100 pages understood, many of us thought we were faking it at the time, and many more did as we were instructed- which was faking it at the time and now we say "Hey-I was taught to fake it!" We tend to resent having been lied to, but there it is. We didn't mean to lie or fake it, we trusted unreliable instructions, and a conman who meant for us to trust him-so we did.

I'll just say you're right and we can move on. I know the Disney one definitely had it, I'm unsure about the others.

Is that "Phantom of the Opera"?

Yeah, I was planning on going with that movie, also. Wayne's World Brian Doyle Murray Groundhog Day

"Magic Mirror, on the wall, who is the fairest one of all?"

King Ralph John Hurt Spaceballs

"The old Rocker wore his hair too long, wore his trouser cuffs too tight. Unfashionable to the end, drank his ale too light. Death's head belt buckle, yesterday's dreams, the transport caf' prophet of doom. Ringing no change in his double-sewn seams in his post-war-babe gloom." "He once owned a Harley Davidson and a Triumph Bonneville. Counted his friends in burned-out spark plugs and prays that he always will. But he's the last of the blue blood greaser boys all of his mates are 'doing time': married with three kids up by the ring road sold their souls straight down the line. And some of them own little sports cars and meet at the tennis club do's. For drinks on a Sunday --- work on Monday. They've thrown away their blue suede shoes."

"Monster Mash", by Bobby "Boris" Puckett and the Crypt Kickers. I was planning on using this one next. :)

Batman Jack Palance City Slickers

Boris sent me.

This is a difficult category, especially with us all knowing different songs. Here's one I know..... "The old Rocker wore his hair too long, wore his trouser cuffs too tight. Unfashionable to the end, drank his ale too light. Death's head belt buckle, yesterday's dreams, the transport caf' prophet of doom. Ringing no change in his double-sewn seams in his post-war-babe gloom."

That's it. I usually try to revisit that song each October.

"Driving Miss Daisy"?

"You hear the door slam and realize there's nowhere left to run. You feel the cold hand and wonder if you'll ever see the sun. You close your eyes and hope that this is just imagination, girl. But all the while you hear the creature creepin' up behind You're out of time."

BZZZT! INCORRECT!

"Put another nickel in, in the Nickelodeon. All I want is loving you and music, music, music!" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music!_Music!_Music! "The Nickelodeon mentioned in the song is obviously a coin-operated music maker — player piano, jukebox, or radio — and "Nickelodeon" is usually capitalized in the printed lyrics as though it were being used as a brand name. However there is no prior record of "Nickelodeon" being used as a brand or common name for any coin-operated device, and the trademark owner was a chain of silent movie theaters that operated from 1905 to 1915. All uses of "nickelodeon" to refer to a jukebox appear to trace directly to this song." For the pedantic, actual "nickelodeons" were tiny 5-cent movie theaters, and never any coin-operated devices like the Kinetoscope or mutoscope. After the song, the meanings all got blurred. You can read up here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickelodeon_(movie_theater) So, yeah, "Guys From Another Country" could work as a band name, don't you think?

"A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum," starring Zero Mostel and including Phil Silvers, Jon Pertwee, Buster Keaton, Jack Gilford, and Roy Kinnear. ====================== "Tubular Bells".

Ok, next song. ".................." Wait, can't guess an instrumental from the lyrics. Maybe I'll use that one on another thread. "You hear the door slam and realize there's nowhere left to run You feel the cold hand and wonder if you'll ever see the sun You close your eyes and hope that this is just imagination"

It's from "The Guys from Another Country" and it's called "Nickelodeon Champion." Or something like that.

On behalf of all of us who never watched "Tropic Thunder" nor "the X Files", I'd like to say we look forward to an actual clue. (I don't count "The movie has a guy who was not played by these 3 actors".)

Is that one of the many memorable songs from "Les Mis"?

"How Bizarre", by OMC. ("Otara Millionaires' Club" was an ironic name because the neighborhood is poverty-stricken, but it's where they were from.)

There were all kinds of movies later, but I'm not aware of one that included the scene you mentioned. There may well have been one, I didn't see all of them. Then again, the description of "House of Frankenstein"(1944) seems to describe that in one scene.

You're definitely thinking of "the Joy of Painting", so I'll take that as the answer.
