*152* "New FAX just in. tinypic is out. Time off for good behavior."

Paxton, Ron -- Charles Noland in *Wayne's World* (1992)

Not that one. Mid 70s. Political Drama.

"Hushabye Mountain" from *Chitty Chitty Bang Bang* ???

Laertes -- Michael Maloney in *Hamlet* (1996)

*152* "Hot diggidy! The Macys Parade committee will pay top dollar for this one!"

*152* "You had to ecomomize, right? You had to cancel the Bug-B-Gone contract!"

Thanks, skipper. "I'm a lawyer. A good one. And I'm probably going to jail."

Gilhooley, Thomas Aloysius (aka "Boats") -- Lee Marvin in *Donovan's Reef* (1963)

Mix of genres. -- Vampire and Wiseguy. A newly-recruited vampire, seemingly just a sick man, is hospitalized. The nurse who checks on him in the morning speaks cheerfully, but she's concentrating on her work, rather than on him. The patient (well-known performer) approaches her just as she opens the window blinds. Strong morning sunlight hits suddenly. He is blown into hundreds of bloody pieces. Film?

The sergeant's courtship of a comely local landowner includes a display of swordsmanship. She stands still while he whirls his saber around very close to her. Afterward she finds a lock of her hair laying on the ground. He had slashed that close to her.

Nearing 320 Views, skipper. I used some misdirection of my own, when I mentioned the nearby "college", rather than "university." The general impression, I think, is that Oxford in a one-industry town. It's a matter of taste, I guess, but I do like the Agatha Christe - type of tale with the misdirection, etc. I saw it on one of the Premium Channels, and Amazon is slowly shipping me my own copy now. I hope you do enjoy it on a second viewing. mudskipper's thread.

*151* "Uh, I think you'd better change the setting from 'Stun' to 'Blast', Dear."

He has a past as a dashing Sergeant of Cavalry. She is pregnent at the time the planned wedding falls through. He enters into another marrage, which fails when the original bride dies in childbirth.

*151* "Oh, it looks good all right, but they're pricing 3-D right out of the market!"

Wild swing here... Window-ledge sequence in *Pretty Woman* ???

*150* "You're partly right. It's a Troll document, all right, but it's been translated into Elvish."

In fact, the "B.B. Theory" gang might enjoy this movie, considering their own taste in entertainment. One of the leads of this film, in another context, actually came under the spell of "the one Ring that rules them all", but then the ring-bearing finger was bitten off, and he was spared that fate. Another of the leads -- well, a newborn alien ate its way out of his belly through his ribcage, looked around and growled at everybody, and then skit-skittered across the table and made its escape.

Retiring the question. 1973's *The Hireling*. The one-sided cross-class-lines relationship of Sarah Miles (Lady Franklin) and Robert Shaw (the former Sgt Ledbetter), who worked for her. The closing scene shows him, drunk, driving around in her courtyard, crashing his fine, expensive car into anything in his way. A downer story, and probably did not gather much of an audience. Open thread.

*Buffalo Bill* (1944) ???

*150* "Damn! I hate these computer-driven images. Uhh...a butterfly on a bulldog's nose?"

British. Color. A Victorian Lit classic story. If it wasn't Required reading, it was almost certainly on the Suggested Reading list.

Your thread, skipper.

Late 1980s romantic comedy.
