  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. That's Jack Nicholson adlibbing in the Stephen King novel made for movie "The Shining".
  4. 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".
  5. 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:"?
  6. Is that a question? Yes, it is Question by ~The Moody Blues~.
  7. "In the town where I was born Lived a man who sailed to sea"
  8. 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?
  9. I know that's right, so I'm going. "Why do we never get an answer When we're knocking at the door Because the truth is hard to swallow That's what the wall of love is for"
  10. Subterranean Homesick Blues ~Bob Dylan~
  11. "She wanted truth But all she got was lies Came the time to realize And it was too late She didn't know what she was headed for And when I found what she was headed for Mama, it was too late It's too late She's gone too far She's lost the sun"
  12. I gather here then that nobody has a clue. Vincent (Starry Starry Night) ~Don McLean~ New one soon.
  13. WordWolf you used this same line just over a month ago.
  14. "Paint your palette blue and gray Look out on a summer's day With eyes that know the darkness in my soul Shadows on the hills Sketch the trees and the daffodils Catch the breeze and the winter chills In colors on the snowy linen land Now, I understand, what you tried to say to me And how you suffered for your sanity And how you tried to set them free They would not listen, they did not know how Perhaps they'll listen now "Colors changing hue Morning fields of amber grain Weathered faces lined in pain Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand Now I understand What you tried to say to me And how you suffered for your sanity And how you tried to set them free Portraits hung in empty halls Frameless heads on nameless walls With eyes that watch the world and can't forget Like the strangers that you've met The ragged men in ragged clothes The silver thorn of bloody rose Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow Now, I think I know what you tried to say to me And how you suffered for your sanity And how you tried to set them free They would not listen, they're not listening still Perhaps they never will
