The tribute is this Sunday, but no Jimmy Stewart. Check out the info on the Generals Discussions thread.

I can't argue with you on that. The Trevor Howard film was the hardest and I was sort of speculating on the choice that I made. CharlieT

"Thank You Very Much" is indeed a musical number in Scrooge. When the Ghost of Christmas Future transports Scrooge to the future to his offices, he sees a large group of people outside listening to Tom Jenkins, the hot soup man, thanking Scrooge for the wonderful and marvelous thing that Scrooge has done for them today... meaning his death. Jenkins does dance on the coffin - disturbing enough a scene to be edited from the early TV releases of the film. CharlieT

And... Sheryl Locke - I Saw What You Did. CharlieT

Father Goose? Cary Grant - My Favorite Wife Trevor Howard - Foreign Body Leslie Caron - Lili Still haven't found the prank phone-caller.

Home in Indiana?

Exactamundo, MrWriteLA. The ball's in your court. CharlieT

No and no. I don't suppose Michael Jackson would care if you were **** at midnight, TOOMANYNOTES. Unless you were younger than 11 and male. I want to tell you that you're on the right track, but I'm afraid it might lead you astray. The movie has something in common with The Horn Blows at Midnight, but not so direct that it will help. That should make things clear as mud. CharlieT

Well, here's a simple one. Character A: "I want to look in the window." Character B: "It will cost you nothing... which I'm sure will be good news to you." Character A: "Will they be able to see me?" Character B: "No. Which I'm sure would be good news to them." CharlieT

Marty Feldman to Gene Wilder in "Young Frankenstein."

Yes, but you carried it off well. Go ahead and start another trivia question and let yourself bask in the glow of self-satisfaction that you earned. CharlieT

OK! Pull over! What's the big idea of trying to make a point. Didn't you see the "Pointless Thread" sign back there? I'll let you off with just a warning this time, but remember to keep it below the logic limit, buddy. Move along, now.

Yeah, I did a one-clue answer once. It's a great feeling, but it was more luck than sense. The clue just happened to be a phrase that stood out in a movie that I had seen loads of times. Go to the "Movie Database" link at the top of the page and enter a search for Ned Beatty and then one for Jon Voight and I guarantee you can solve this one. There were clues in my last post that should lead you to the "top of the mountain." CharlieT

As far as the ease, it's all relative to one's experience. The Shark and Ozark clues were the easiest to solve. Just going to the database and entering the name Ozark would give you Ronnie Cox. And the stretch from Shark to Sharky isn't that great. Once these fall into place the name of the movie follows and directs you to Ned Beatty and Jon Voight. Going to filmographies for those two would help, but having viewed the referenced movies would make it easy. I think the Beatty reference is easy, but the Voight will take some searching. Throw this on the "In Other Words" thread with the experts, and it would be solved so fast it would make your head spin. Now those "IOW's" are tough! To be fair, the Voight reference was made-for-TV, but the Beatty one is a legitimate theatrical release that most of the posters have seen. It was one "Sweet" role. As far as the database, I hope it won't be "flooded" with searches for Voight. Besides, I offered another question just in case no one wanted to do this one. Some of the beginners could run rings around me when it comes to classic movie trivia and I want to make it , at least, a little challenging. I know your comments are just a gentle ribbing, but this will all be over before you know it. CharlieT

Correct on Shark and Ozark, but not close on the Beatty and Voight references. Let's see... the G-man was traveling incognito, and the seaman only had one voyage. Try again. CharlieT

People Will Talk?

Deliverance it is. Any guesses on the actor references? CharlieT

Having a weekend away. If anyone guesses and I don't get back to them right away, anyone who knows the right answer may validate their guesses. Have a happy Fourth. CharlieT

Well, I thought it was easy. If no one really wants to try it, then maybe we need a traditional type of question. In Miracle on 34th Street, why does Natalie Wood act like a monkey? CharlieT

Technically speaking, wouldn't Shenandoah be a "Southeastern?" It happens east of the Mississippi River and south of the Mason-Dixon Line. I suppose any movie that has horses and shootin' arns has to be considered a "Western." CharlieT

If any beginner is interested, I have an easy "In Other Words." Shark and Ozark, along with a G-man and a seaman, have a dangerous adventure. CharlieT

A skeleton walks into a bar and tells the bartender, "Give me a beer and a mop."

I think it has already been touched on on one of the other threads, but Rhett Butler's introduction shot in GWTW is very impressive. Besides, where else can you find a post with "on on one" in succession, huh? CharlieT

Hey, Larry. Are you allowed to say "****" on these boards? CharlieT

Gene Wilder to Zero Mostel in "The Producers?"
