"How much you want for'em?"
"They're .60 for medium and .75 for large."
"Reckon I'll have me some of the big 'uns."

Christmas Day came and went, and still nothing. So the police began a search. Four or five days went by. Neither one of us could eat or sleep. Everything was falling apart. It was snowing outside. The house was freezing, so I went to try to light up the fire. That's when I noticed the smell. The firemen came and broke through the chimney top. And me and Mom were expecting them to pull out a dead cat or a bird. And instead they pulled out my father. He was dressed in a Santa Claus suit. He'd been climbing down the chimney... his arms loaded with presents. He was gonna surprise us. He slipped and broke his neck. He died instantly. And that's how I found out there was no Santa Claus."

Gradually, gradually, they let go hold of the earth . . . and the ambitions they had . . . and the things they suffered . . . and the people they loved. They get weaned away from the earth - that's the way I put it - weaned away."
B43. In some ways a spoof of Bridge On the River Kwai, this film substituted the Washington State University fight song for The Colonel Bogey March
B44. "Do you know more people die in the East Bay commute every three months than that idiot ever killed? He offed a few citizens, wrote a few letters, then faded into footnote... Not that I haven't been sitting here idly, waiting for you to drop by and reinvigorate my sense of purpose."

I still think it's Matewan. I wouldn't characterize Harlan County as violent and Matewan has the Hatfield-McCoy thing going for it.Weyoun wrote:in meeting but quick b20 is Harlan county USA

I agree it is MATEWAN, I was posting during a meeting and getting my movies mixed up. Plus Harlan County is a doc.

Updated compilation:
First, pair up the films in List A to make 20 pairs (one answer will be used twice). Then, match each pair to at least two films from List B, according to the Tangredi. One film from List B will stand alone, for reasons that will be obvious once the Tangredi is determined. Some films on List B will be used more than once - the exact number isn't important. Consider the puzzle finished if you have used each film from List B and have matched each pair of List A films with a minimum of two from List B.

A1. THE HAPPENING
A2. STEALING HARVARD
A3. THE MAN WHO WASN'T THERE

Three wrong on the consolidation, but all three correct answers have been suggested by someone.

Steve was right about B40. That's KELLY'S HEROES, not PATTON.

What if we switch 37 to Carnal Knowledge. I think that makes A23 Catch-22.

Re: New GroganGame: Films Not Starring Jerzy Trela
Any ideas on how to pair up the items in list A?
For example - I'm thinking of The Birds - Nixon - because The Birds starred Tippi Hedren who also appeared in Marnie. Combining that with Nixon we get Marnie Nixon - except that I think it is 'Marni Nixon' nor does there seem to be any films in B that are Marni Nixon movies.
I also don't see how this approach works for other items in A.
I do see some that have common cast - but not enough to match 'em up.

Re: New GroganGame: Films Not Starring Jerzy Trela
If you take a list of about 100 movies, mostly from recent years, it's hard not to get some common castings. Usually, in a film quiz, the common casting isn't enough by itself for a Tangredi.frogman042 wrote:I do see some that have common cast - but not enough to match 'em up.
It's possible the titles of the movies could combine in some way to make a third film which has common cast elements with two or more of the films in list B. Nothing seems obvious now.

Re: New GroganGame: Films Not Starring Jerzy Trela
The description suggests a little fluidity. So, for example, I'd be surprised if we had a situation where one film starred a guy named Milo, another starred a guy namd Otis, and we paired them with the director of "Milo and Otis" in List B. Something... more fluid than that.
Grogran loves word games, and anagrams. But to be a little more fluid, it can't be precise as an anagram, can it?

It's definitely JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH. I just confirmed. Richard Dreyfuss did the voice of the centipede.A8. As far as I know, this is the only film to feature a talking centipede
JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH? A BUG'S LIFE?

Hi, got here late as usual, just my 2cts after a quick scan of the consolidation.
Seems like a lot of tie ins to Young Frankenstein: Mad Kahn & Ken Mars in 'Sup Doc?; Ken Mars & Gene Wider in Producers, YF; Teri Garr in Close Encounters; anything here with Peter Boyle in it?

Re: New GroganGame: Films Not Starring Jerzy Trela
An addendum: Art Garfunkel hasn't been in that many films; the fact that two of them (Carnal Knowledge, Catch-22) are on this list must meen something. Bob Balaban was in both Catch-22 and Close Encounters, I'm just saying.
