Not everybody would remember "BACK TO THE FUTURE" from this line, but I would.

Then it was just for you WordWolf.  That's it.

As Good As It Gets (Jack Nicholson, Helen Hunt)

Can't think of the 70s movies.  (Rocky and Stallone come to mind, but I doubt Talia Shire wond Best Actress).

Maybe Five Easy Pieces with Nicholson and Karen Black?

George

"As Good As It Gets" is another one, but I thought you would have given the other movie George, with the same actor in it, instead of this one for the answer.  I just looked at the list.  Man, there are some good movies on it!  Big Classic movies.

Here are three guesses.  I have no idea if any are correct.

Gone with the Wind (Clark Gable, Vivien Leigh)

Casablanca (Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman)

It Happened One Night (Clark Gable, Claudette Colbert)

George

You got one George.  It Happened One Night.   There were two pictures in the late 70's, one of which everyone who watches movies should recognize.  The last picture to win both Best Acting awards (male lead and female lead) was a comedy and a drama. That happened 25 yrs. ago.  I don't like that  word dramedy.  Anyhow, here's a clue that may help you.  In both of those pictures, the same male actor won the leading Best Actor Oscar for both pictures.  Big clue I think.

Hey, I didn't intent for this to be (if it is?) that hard of a trivia question.  If I was asked this question, I know I could come up with the three I need to take this round.   Interestingly, not that far back, we discussed a couple of these Awarding winning movies on some other threads.   So anyway, I may pop in a clue or two if someone needs them.

Here's something.   In the history of the Academy Awards, only six films have had in them, both the winning Best Actor and the winning Best Actress.  The first was in 1934. (I think this clue makes that one easier). The last time in happened was about 25 years ago.   I checked here in the forums, and in Movie Mash up, I alluded to three of them in my post back in 2020.  Name the movie and the actor and actress which both Oscar's were awarded for Best Actor and Best Actress.  Name three if you can.

How white my shirts can be
Well he can't be a man 'cause he doesn't smoke
The same cigarettes as me"

Oops.  Wrong thread.

Correct.  The previous song was The Who's "5:15", which I thought was much better known.

I was meaning to ask about the other song.  I happened to listen to "5:15" yesterday.  I don't think I would recognize the song.  I think ~Aerosmith~ ripped off their song in "Dude Looked Like A Lady" didn't they?  Same orchestral riff.

~The Who ~  Behind Blue Eyes

The Three Musketeers

That's Jack Nicholson adlibbing in the Stephen King novel made for movie "The Shining".

The first Academy Award for Best Picture went to "Wings".  But, I don't have anything else about the movie that would make it unique.  Emil Jannings was the first recipient or first Oscar laureate, if you will, winning Best Actor for his performance in TWO movie pictures;  "The Way of All Flesh" and "The Last Command".  That is unique, but it has nothing to do with "Wings".

but why should I care?

This is a clue isn't it WordWolf, but it's not ringing any bells for me yet.  Which line is the one where we are supposed to recognize it from?  You know, "Songs remembered from just one line:"?

I'm in the dark WordWolf.   Can we get another line?

Is that a question?     Yes, it is Question by ~The Moody Blues~.

George Sanders?

"In the town where I was born
Lived a man who sailed to sea"

I'm gonna take a shot in the dark with All About Eve.  I know Bette Davis was in that, but I'm not 100% sure, maybe Joan Crawford was in it also.  I know it's a long shot but I'm taking it.

Wait a minute.  I'm thinking this is Triple Movie Thread?  Silly me.

Bette Davis?

I know that's right, so I'm going.
