Game #123: Casting Coups

Identify the 80 actors indicated in List A and the 30 movies indicated in List B. (In each list, every other clue is a quotation.) Match the actors into 30 triples, then match each triple to one of the movies, according to a Tangredi, or principle you must discover for yourself. Eight actors will be used twice and one actor will be used three times.

LIST A: ACTORS
A-1. “Oh, Sebastian, what a lovely summer it's been. Just the two of us. Sebastian and Violet. Violet and Sebastian. Just the way it's always going to be. Oh, we are lucky, my darling, to have one another and need no one else ever.”

A-2. The first three film musicals he directed had the same star – himself – and the same co-director.

A-3. “When I'm goin', I mean, when I'm really goin' I feel like a ... like a jockey must feel. He's sittin' on his horse, he's got all that speed and that power underneath him ... he's comin' into the stretch, the pressure's on 'im, and he knows ... just feels ... when to let it go and how much. Cause he's got everything workin' for 'im: timing, touch. It's a great feeling, boy, it's a real great feeling when you're right and you know you're right. It's like all of a sudden I got oil in my arm.”

A-4. He and Helen Hayes were the only two actors to win both the Tony and the Oscar twice.

A-5. “I can tell you the license plate numbers of all six cars outside. I can tell you that our waitress is left-handed and the guy sitting up at the counter weighs two hundred fifteen pounds and knows how to handle himself. I know the best place to look for a gun is the cab of the gray truck outside, and at this altitude, I can run flat out for a half mile before my hands start shaking. Now why would I know that? How can I know that and not know who I am?”

A-6. She became a star playing opposite one of the great actors of he silent screen; after World War II, she got the Medal of Freedom, while he got denazified.

A-7. “After fifteen minutes I wanted to marry her, and after half an hour I completely gave up the idea of stealing her purse”

A-8. He received his first Oscar nomination only two months after his father’s wife received the Kennedy Center Honors.

A-9. “Gold's a devilish sort of thing, anyway. You start out, you tell yourself you'll be satisfied with 25,000 handsome smackers worth of it. So help me, Lord, and cross my heart. Fine resolution. After months of sweatin' yourself dizzy, and growin' short on provisions, and findin' nothin', you finally come down to 15,000, then ten. Finally, you say, ‘Lord, let me just find $5,000 worth and I'll never ask for anythin' more the rest of my life.’”

A-10. The working title of this actor’s autobiography was In Like Me.

A-11. “First you invade Poland, then you invade Warsaw, then you invade my dressing room. You people are compulsive invaders!”

A-12. In a span of 20 years, he only went two years without getting a nomination for a Razzie Award.

A-13. “Let me tell you something, boy. You can march like the white man, you can talk like him. You can sing his songs, you can even wear his suits. But, you ain't never gonna be nothing to him, than an ugly ass chimp in a blue suit.”

A-14. His prodigious dating habits landed him in the Man Show Hall of Fame, but most of us got our first glimpse of him while he was still a virgin.

A-15. “I will step outside the church if that's what needs to be done, till the door should shut behind me! I will do what needs to be done, though I'm damned to Hell! You should understand that, or you will mistake me.”

A-16. One of the actresses who did NOT make Smiler Grogan’s last movie puzzle – although the sitcom on which she played a parent WAS included – claims that she was once engaged to this iconic film star. Got that? (If you don’t, there’s a follow-up to this clue later on.)

A-17. “Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, the prosecution is not going to get that man today, no, because I'm gonna get him! My client, the Honorable Henry T. Fleming, should go right to f**king jail! The son of a bitch is guilty!”

A-18. He received an Oscar for playing an incorruptible man, and an Oscar nomination for playing the father of a very corruptible man.

A-19. “Things are f**ked up at the North Pole. Mrs. Claus caught me f**king her sister, now I'm out on my ass.”

A-20. One of the best of the “angry young” generation of British actors, he received a knighthood nearly four decades after his angriest and oldest movie.

A-21. “Don’t call me stupid!”

A-22. As far as I know, she was the only actress who was around early enough to star opposite Harry Langdon, and late enough to be directed by Steven Spielberg.

A-23. “I've done a lot of lying in my time. I've lied to men who wear belts. I've lied to men who wear suspenders. But I'd never be so stupid as to lie to a man who wears both belt and suspenders.”

A-24. The outcome of her first pregnancy inspired the plot of a novel by Agatha Christie.

A-25. “Will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest?”

A-26. In the best-known of his six performances for Frank Capra, he demonstrated conclusively that getting sprayed in the face with a seltzer bottle can be very, very, very not funny.

A-27. “So there it was. Somewhere in the night, a Manhattan book editor was prowling the streets of Pittsburgh; best-selling author at his side, dead dog in his trunk.”

A-28. He received an Emmy nomination for his leading role in a landmark HBO production whose supporting cast included Gandalf, Hawkeye, Morticia, Ernestine, and one wild and crazy guy.

A-29. “I'd like to see you with your pants off, Mr. Reed.”

A-30. This actor complied with the preceding request both on and off screen.

A-31. “Injun will chase a thing till he thinks he's chased it enough. Then he quits. Same way when he runs. Seems like he never learns there's such a thing as a critter that'll just keep comin' on. So we'll find 'em in the end, I promise you. We'll find 'em. Just as sure as the turnin' of the earth.”

A-32. This actress is six feet tall and drop-dead sexy … but even she came a cropper when she attempted to step into the high-heeled boots of the actress whom TV Guide declared the sexiest in television history.

A-33. “It was right then that I started thinking about Thomas Jefferson on the Declaration of Independence and the part about our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And I remember thinking how did he know to put the pursuit part in there? That maybe happiness is something that we can only pursue and maybe we can actually never have it. No matter what. How did he know that?”

A-34. Her film career has embraced characters created by Agatha Christie, Aldous Huxley, Virgina Woolf, Anton Chekhov, Henry James, E.M. Forster, Isabel Allende, and Euripides.

A-35. “Look at it this way. A man takes a job, you know? And that job … I mean, like that … that becomes what he is. You know, like, you do a thing and that's what you are. Like I've been a cabbie for thirteen years. Ten years at night. I still don't own my own cab. You know why? Because I don't want to. That must be what I want. To be on the night shift drivin' somebody else's cab. You understand? I mean, you become … you get a job, you become the job. One guy lives in Brooklyn. One guy lives in Sutton Place. You got a lawyer. Another guy's a doctor. Another guy dies. Another guy gets well. People are born, y'know? I envy you your youth. Go on, get laid, get drunk. Do anything. You got no choice, anyway. I mean, we're all f**ked. More or less, ya know.”

A-36. This was the only star to play a leading role in two separate musicals that won the Oscar for Best Picture.

A-37. “Look at the world today. Is there anything more pitiful? What madness there is! What blindness! What unintelligent leadership! A scurrying mass of bewildered humanity, crashing headlong against each other, propelled by an orgy of greed and brutality. A time must come my friend, when this orgy will spend itself. When brutality and the lust for power must perish by its own sword. Against that time, is why I avoided death, and am here. And why you were brought here. For when that day comes, the world must begin to look for a new life. And it is our hope that they may find it here. For here, we shall be with their books and their music, and a way of life based on one simple rule: Be Kind!”

A-38. He figured as a parent in Smiler Grogan’s last movie game – but his own record as a real-life parent is probably the worst of anybody who appeared in either that game or this one.

A-39. “Listen, you promise me something, okay? Just if you're ever in trouble, don't be brave. You just run, okay? Just run away.”

A-40. Born in Canada’s Northwest Territories, this actor is a master carver of Inuit masks and other woodwork.

A-41. “I bring home a birthday cake and a few gifts. You bring home the goddamn San Diego Zoo and I have to clean up after it”

A-42. He was on the other end of the conversation quoted in one of the preceding clues, and he and the actor who spoke those lines were the title characters of that movie.

A-43. “The only reason people are nice to me is because I have more money than God.”

A-44. In 1985, this veteran character actor was chosen to play the title role of the best-loved fictional character in history, but he himself only received third billing in the movie.

A-45. “I'm telling you that you're gonna stay here. You're gonna stay here if I have to go inside and call your chief of police and have him remind you of what he told you to do. But I don't think I have to do that, you see? No, because you're so damn smart. You're smarter than any white man. You're just gonna stay here and show us all. You've got such a big head that you could never live with yourself unless you could put us all to shame.”

A-46. Surprisingly, MGM didn’t throw a monkey wrench into the works when she married the actor who played her son in her most popular movie.

A-47. “James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington ... John Adams. We've long resisted asking you for guidance. Perhaps we have feared in doing so, we might acknowledge that our individuality, which we so, so revere, is not entirely our own. Perhaps we've feared an appeal to you might be taken for weakness. But we've come to understand, finally, that this is not so. We understand now, we've been made to understand, and to embrace the understanding ... that who we are is who we were. We desperately need your strength and wisdom to triumph over our fears, our prejudices, ourselves. Give us the courage to do what is right. And if it means civil war? Then let it come. And when it does, may it be, finally, the last battle of the American Revolution.”

A-48. Between 1926 and 1937, she made seven films for her favorite American director – including two in which she played title characters with the same first name.

A-49. “Eat something, I'm begging you! You look like a swizzle stick.”

A-50. She appeared in films directed by Jean-Luc Godard, produced by Ross Hunter, and starring Clint Eastwood – but not, I hasten to add, all at the same time.

A-51. “Don't you dare do that. You hear me? Hold it right there! You put that ice cream in your mouth and you are in very, very, very big trouble.”

A-52. She had the shortest filmography of any actress who made the Top Ten on the AFI’s list of Movie Legends – largely because she only made five feature films during the last 25 years of her life.

A-53. “Have you ever seen a Commie drink a glass of water?”

A-54. I only have to drive a few miles north to reach the birthplace of this paisano, best known for playing teenagers well into his twenties.

A-55. “My nipples are very sensitive.”

A-56. She retired from acting at the age of 35, ten years after receiving her only Oscar nomination, and one year after her older sister received her only Oscar nomination.

A-57. “You know what I believe I'd like? A chocolate fudge sundae with whipped cream and a cherry on top.”

A-58. This actress, who achieved a notable Oscar “first,” was later portrayed on television by an actress who achieved a related Oscar “first”.

A-59. “Yeah, that's right! That's right! We bad!”

A-60. In a career spanning five decades, his varied acts of villainy have pitted him against the likes of Albert Finney, Jeff Bridges, Malcolm McDowell, and Leonard DiCaprio.

A-62. In a 1962 remake, she played the aunt of the character she had played in the 1936 version.

A-63. “I can't recall the taste of food ... nor the sound of water ... nor the touch of grass. I'm naked in the dark.”

A-64. According to her mother, the wooden box that caused this actress to freak out was really, really, really not intended to represent a coffin.

A-65. “He'll regret it till his dying day, if ever he lives that long.”

A-66. Talk about Odd Couples: this international heart throb and Walter Mattau have shared no less than three Oscar-winning leading ladies. (Shared them on screen, we hasten to add.)

A-67. “And what am I supposed to do, huh? Go back to taxi dancin'? Ten cents so some slob can sweat gin all over me? I'm never doin' that again! So you go back there and you tell ol' rich Mr. Old Chocolate Man that he ain't closing me down!”

A-68. His filmography includes one role that had been played 23 years earlier by the Cisco Kid and would be played 25 years later by the Sundance Kid.

A-70. This actress, who committed suicide at the age of 39, said that the only man she ever loved was the actor referenced in Clue A-16.

A-71. “I find you very attractive. Your aggressive moves toward me indicate that you feel the same way. But still, ritual requires that we go through a number of platonic activities before we … have sex. I'm simply proceeding with those activities. But in point of actual fact, all I really want to do is have intercourse with you as soon as possible.”

A-72. He now claims that the entire antiwar movement during the Vietnam era was the result of Marxist propaganda – ironic, considering the role that won him an Oscar.

A-73. “We do not and cannot accept the principle that incompetence justifies dismissal. That is victimisation.”

A-74. His long career included one role that had earlier been played by the actor in Clue A-18, and one role that would later be played by the actor in Clue A-33.

A-75. “I've never been called a son of God before. I've been called a son of a you-know-what plenty of times, but I've never been called a son of God.”

A-76. He recreated on film a role that had been created on television by an actor who had been married – twice – to an actress in one of the preceding clues. Got that?

A-77. “You know what the problem with you bums is? You never leave a guy alone unless you're leaving him alone.”

A-78. Speaking of people marrying the same person twice, she was twice married to a writer whose screenplays netted Oscar nominations or wins for five of the actors on List A. (And, yes, she was one of the five.)

A-79. “I proved once and for all that the limb is mightier than the thumb”

A-80. In his final two films, this superstar played real-life bounty hunters.

“I'm a drunkard.”

B-2. Two of the triangle points in this landmark film were played by Queen Elizabeth I and Judas Iscariot.

B-3. “There are times when my conscience asks which has priority. It or the Holy Rule? When the bell calls me to chapel, I often have to sacrifice what might be the decisive moment in a spiritual talk with a patient. I'm late every day for chapel or refectory or both. When I have night duty I break the Grand Silence because I can no longer cut short a talk with a patient who seems to need me. Mother, why must God's helpers be struck dumb by five bells in the very hours when men in trouble want to talk about their souls?”

B-4. This six teenage actors recruited for this film from the original Broadway production caused so much offscreen destruction that Sam Goldwyn sold their contracts en masse to Warner Brothers.

B-5. “The deadliest weapon in the world is a marine and his rifle. It is your killer instinct which must be harnessed if you expect to survive in combat. Your rifle is only a tool. It is a hard heart that kills. If your killer instincts are not clean and strong you will hesitate at the moment of truth. You will not kill. You will become dead marines and then you will be in a world of shit because marines are not allowed to die without permission. Do you maggots understand?”

B-6. This was the only move to earn a posthumous Oscar nomination for an actor who had already received a posthumous Oscar nomination.

B-7. “I'll show you around the city, and we'll eat well. We'll drink good wine. We'll make love.”

B-10. This courtroom drama was the first film made by its star’s independent production company – in fact, the first film made by any Hollywood star’s independent production company.

B-11. “What is U.S. strategy?”
“Most strictly speaking, we don't have one. But we're working on it.”
“Who's 'we'?”
“Me and three other guys.”

B-12. This film sparked Groucho’s famous quip about the relative sizes of the mammaries of the leading man and leading lady.

B-13. “You got any kids?”
“Three.”
“I got one. Twenty-two years old. When he was nine years old he ran away from a fight. I saw it; I was so embarrassed I almost threw up. I said, ‘I'm gonna make a man outa you if I have to break you in two tryin’.’ And I made a man out of him. When he was sixteen we had a fight. Hit me in the jaw - a big kid. Haven't seen him for two years. Kids. Work your heart out….”

B-14. This early musical introduced what would become a Rodgers and Hart standard – although the lyrics used in the movie were emphatically not romantic.

B-15. “I believe it. My wife says, ‘Darling, you won't believe it, but I found the most adorable baby on our doorstep and I've decided to keep it for our very own. Now you won't believe it, but it's got exactly my eyes and nose.’ Why does she keep saying I won't believe it? I believe it. I believe it.”

B-16. One of the most harrowing movies ever made – far more harrowing, in fact, than the real-life events depicted therein – it was banned for more than ten years in the country in which it was set.

B-17. “There's a certain light connotation attached to the word ‘panties.’ Can we find another name for them?”

B-18. John Wayne roundly castigated a fellow tough-guy actor for appearing as the decidedly non-tough subject of this biopic.

B-19. “You threw a man out of a window!”
“I didn't throw him. He fell.”
“Well, what did he do to you?”
“What?”
“What did he do to you.?”
“Nothing. I only met him tonight.”
“You just met him once and you killed him like that?”
“What? I should only kill people after I get to know them?”

B-20. This British movie was the third of four Best Picture nominees based on the work of the greatest novelist to have four adaptations of his work receive Oscar nominations for Best Picture. Got that?

B-21. “How much do you make off me while I'm sleeping?”
“Just a ride, Mike. I don't make anything. What, you think that I sell your body while you’re asleep?”

B-22. Speaking of the Angry Young Man school – which we were back in Clue A-20 – this working-class drama was the second film and first starring vehicle of an actor who would later have one of his best roles opposite the actor referenced in Clue A-20.

B-23. “Fellas, I don't recognize the right of this committee to ask me these kind of questions. And furthermore, you can all go f**k yourselves.”

B-24. The screenplay for this grim World War II naval movie was written by a former naval aviator who would later be posthumously played by the movie’s star.

B-25. “I thought you were good Paul. But you're not good. You're just another lying ol' dirty birdy.”

B-26. The star who won the Best Actor Oscar for this depressing drama had previously won a supporting Oscar for a comic role.

B-27. “We're all very, very different, but there is one thing that we all have in common: we were all stupid enough to enlist in the Army. We're mutants. There's something wrong with us, something very, very wrong with us. Something seriously wrong with us: we're soldiers. But we're American soldiers! We've been kicking ass for 200 years! We're 10 and 1!”

B-28. The year after this movie musical was released, the stage version became the longest running show in Broadway history – a position it held for over nearly eight years.

B-29. “Well, the little guy was kinda funny-lookin'.”
“In what way?”
“I dunno... just funny-lookin'.”
“Can you be any more specific?”
“I couldn't really say. He wasn't circumcised.”
“Was he funny lookin' apart from that?”

B-30. A favorite flick of conspiracy buffs everywhere, it was cited by Entertainment Weekly as the fifth most controversial movie of all time.

But we've come to understand, finally, that this is not so. We understand now, we've been made to understand, and to embrace the understanding ... that who we are is who we were. We desperately need your strength and wisdom to triumph over our fears, our prejudices, ourselves. Give us the courage to do what is right. And if it means civil war? Then let it come.

Perhaps we have feared in doing so, we might acknowledge that our individuality, which we so, so revere, is not entirely our own. Perhaps we've feared an appeal to you might be taken for weakness. But we've come to understand, finally, that this is not so. We understand now, we've been made to understand, and to embrace the understanding ... that who we are is who we were. We desperately need your strength and wisdom to triumph over our fears, our prejudices, ourselves. Give us the courage to do what is right. And if it means civil war? Then let it come.

Jack Lemmon in SAVE THE TIGER?

A-16. One of the actresses who did NOT make Smiler Grogan’s last movie puzzle – although the sitcom on which she played a parent WAS included – claims that she was once engaged to this iconic film star. Got that? (If you don’t, there’s a follow-up to this clue later on.)

A-17. “Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, the prosecution is not going to get that man today, no, because I'm gonna get him! My client, the Honorable Henry T. Fleming, should go right to f**king jail! The son of a bitch is guilty!”

A-18. He received an Oscar for playing an incorruptible man, and an Oscar nomination for playing the father of a very corruptible man.

PAUL SCOFIELD (Becket & Quiz Show)

A-23. “I've done a lot of lying in my time. I've lied to men who wear belts. I've lied to men who wear suspenders. But I'd never be so stupid as to lie to a man who wears both belt and suspenders.”

A-30. This actor complied with the preceding request both on and off screen.

WARREN BEATTY

A-31. “Injun will chase a thing till he thinks he's chased it enough. Then he quits. Same way when he runs. Seems like he never learns there's such a thing as a critter that'll just keep comin' on. So we'll find 'em in the end, I promise you. We'll find 'em. Just as sure as the turnin' of the earth.”

A-32. This actress is six feet tall and drop-dead sexy … but even she came a cropper when she attempted to step into the high-heeled boots of the actress whom TV Guide declared the sexiest in television history.

A-33. “It was right then that I started thinking about Thomas Jefferson on the Declaration of Independence and the part about our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

How did he know that?”

WILL SMITH

A-34. Her film career has embraced characters created by Agatha Christie, Aldous Huxley, Virgina Woolf, Anton Chekhov, Henry James, E.M. Forster, Isabel Allende, and Euripides.

A-35. “Look at it this way. A man takes a job, you know? And that job … I mean, like that … that becomes what he is. You know, like, you do a thing and that's what you are. Like I've been a cabbie for thirteen years. Ten years at night. I still don't own my own cab. You know why? Because I don't want to. That must be what I want. To be on the night shift drivin' somebody else's cab. You understand? I mean, you become … you get a job, you become the job. One guy lives in Brooklyn. One guy lives in Sutton Place. You got a lawyer. Another guy's a doctor. Another guy dies. Another guy gets well. People are born, y'know? I envy you your youth. Go on, get laid, get drunk. Do anything. You got no choice, anyway. I mean, we're all f**ked. More or less, ya know.”

A-36. This was the only star to play a leading role in two separate musicals that won the Oscar for Best Picture.

I am guessing LESLIE CARON – Gigi and An Amerian in Paris

A-37. “Look at the world today. Is there anything more pitiful? What madness there is! What blindness! What unintelligent leadership! A scurrying mass of bewildered humanity, crashing headlong against each other, propelled by an orgy of greed and brutality. A time must come my friend, when this orgy will spend itself. When brutality and the lust for power must perish by its own sword. Against that time, is why I avoided death, and am here. And why you were brought here. For when that day comes, the world must begin to look for a new life. And it is our hope that they may find it here. For here, we shall be with their books and their music, and a way of life based on one simple rule: Be Kind!”

SAM JAFFE in Lost Horizon?

A-38. He figured as a parent in Smiler Grogan’s last movie game – but his own record as a real-life parent is probably the worst of anybody who appeared in either that game or this one.

A-39. “Listen, you promise me something, okay? Just if you're ever in trouble, don't be brave. You just run, okay? Just run away.”

A-44. In 1985, this veteran character actor was chosen to play the title role of the best-loved fictional character in history, but he himself only received third billing in the movie.

A-45. “I'm telling you that you're gonna stay here. You're gonna stay here if I have to go inside and call your chief of police and have him remind you of what he told you to do. But I don't think I have to do that, you see? No, because you're so damn smart. You're smarter than any white man. You're just gonna stay here and show us all.

GREER GARSON

A-47. “James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington ... John Adams. We've long resisted asking you for guidance. Perhaps we have feared in doing so, we might acknowledge that our individuality, which we so, so revere, is not entirely our own. Perhaps we've feared an appeal to you might be taken for weakness. But we've come to understand, finally, that this is not so. We understand now, we've been made to understand, and to embrace the understanding ... that who we are is who we were. We desperately need your strength and wisdom to triumph over our fears, our prejudices, ourselves. Give us the courage to do what is right. And if it means civil war? Then let it come. And when it does, may it be, finally, the last battle of the American Revolution.”

A-48. Between 1926 and 1937, she made seven films for her favorite American director – including two in which she played title characters with the same first name.

A-49. “Eat something, I'm begging you! You look like a swizzle stick.”

A-50. She appeared in films directed by Jean-Luc Godard, produced by Ross Hunter, and starring Clint Eastwood – but not, I hasten to add, all at the same time.

A-52. She had the shortest filmography of any actress who made the Top Ten on the AFI’s list of Movie Legends – largely because she only made five feature films during the last 25 years of her life.

Did AVA GARDNER make the list?

A-53. “Have you ever seen a Commie drink a glass of water?”

A-54. I only have to drive a few miles north to reach the birthplace of this paisano, best known for playing teenagers well into his twenties.

A-67. “And what am I supposed to do, huh? Go back to taxi dancin'? Ten cents so some slob can sweat gin all over me? I'm never doin' that again! So you go back there and you tell ol' rich Mr. Old Chocolate Man that he ain't closing me down!”

But in point of actual fact, all I really want to do is have intercourse with you as soon as possible.”

A-72. He now claims that the entire antiwar movement during the Vietnam era was the result of Marxist propaganda – ironic, considering the role that won him an Oscar.

SEAN PENN?? In Dead Man Walking?

A-76. He recreated on film a role that had been created on television by an actor who had been married – twice – to an actress in one of the preceding clues. Got that?

A-77. “You know what the problem with you bums is? You never leave a guy alone unless you're leaving him alone.”

Sounds like JOHN TURTURRO in Quiz Show

When the bell calls me to chapel, I often have to sacrifice what might be the decisive moment in a spiritual talk with a patient. I'm late every day for chapel or refectory or both. When I have night duty I break the Grand Silence because I can no longer cut short a talk with a patient who seems to need me. Mother, why must God's helpers be struck dumb by five bells in the very hours when men in trouble want to talk about their souls?”

B-4. This six teenage actors recruited for this film from the original Broadway production caused so much offscreen destruction that Sam Goldwyn sold their contracts en masse to Warner Brothers.

DEAD END?

B-5. “The deadliest weapon in the world is a marine and his rifle. It is your killer instinct which must be harnessed if you expect to survive in combat. Your rifle is only a tool. It is a hard heart that kills. If your killer instincts are not clean and strong you will hesitate at the moment of truth. You will not kill. You will become dead marines and then you will be in a world of shit because marines are not allowed to die without permission. Do you maggots understand?”

B-6. This was the only move to earn a posthumous Oscar nomination for an actor who had already received a posthumous Oscar nomination.

B-7. “I'll show you around the city, and we'll eat well. We'll drink good wine. We'll make love.”

“Me and three other guys.”

B-12. This film sparked Groucho’s famous quip about the relative sizes of the mammaries of the leading man and leading lady.

B-13. “You got any kids?”
“Three.”
“I got one. Twenty-two years old. When he was nine years old he ran away from a fight. I saw it; I was so embarrassed I almost threw up. I said, ‘I'm gonna make a man outa you if I have to break you in two tryin’.’ And I made a man out of him. When he was sixteen we had a fight. Hit me in the jaw - a big kid. Haven't seen him for two years. Kids. Work your heart out….”

TWELVE ANGRY MEN

B-14. This early musical introduced what would become a Rodgers and Hart standard – although the lyrics used in the movie were emphatically not romantic.

OK. This is Jeannette MacDonald and Maurice Chevalier. It’s like ONE HOUR WITH YOU or THE SMILING LIEUTENANT. They all kind of blend together

B-15. “I believe it. My wife says, ‘Darling, you won't believe it, but I found the most adorable baby on our doorstep and I've decided to keep it for our very own. Now you won't believe it, but it's got exactly my eyes and nose.’ Why does she keep saying I won't believe it? I believe it. I believe it.”

B-17. “There's a certain light connotation attached to the word ‘panties.’ Can we find another name for them?”

B-18. John Wayne roundly castigated a fellow tough-guy actor for appearing as the decidedly non-tough subject of this biopic.

B-19. “You threw a man out of a window!”
“I didn't throw him. He fell.”
“Well, what did he do to you?”
“What?”
“What did he do to you.?”
“Nothing. I only met him tonight.”
“You just met him once and you killed him like that?”
“What? I should only kill people after I get to know them?”

B-20. This British movie was the third of four Best Picture nominees based on the work of the greatest novelist to have four adaptations of his work receive Oscar nominations for Best Picture. Got that?

B-21. “How much do you make off me while I'm sleeping?”
“Just a ride, Mike. I don't make anything. What, you think that I sell your body while you’re asleep?”

B-22. Speaking of the Angry Young Man school – which we were back in Clue A-20 – this working-class drama was the second film and first starring vehicle of an actor who would later have one of his best roles opposite the actor referenced in Clue A-20.

B-23. “Fellas, I don't recognize the right of this committee to ask me these kind of questions. And furthermore, you can all go f**k yourselves.”

There's something wrong with us, something very, very wrong with us. Something seriously wrong with us: we're soldiers. But we're American soldiers! We've been kicking ass for 200 years! We're 10 and 1!”

B-28. The year after this movie musical was released, the stage version became the longest running show in Broadway history – a position it held for over nearly eight years.

B-29. “Well, the little guy was kinda funny-lookin'.”
“In what way?”
“I dunno... just funny-lookin'.”
“Can you be any more specific?”
“I couldn't really say. He wasn't circumcised.”
“Was he funny lookin' apart from that?”

B-30. A favorite flick of conspiracy buffs everywhere, it was cited by Entertainment Weekly as the fifth most controversial movie of all time.

JFK

A couple more

A-4. He and Helen Hayes were the only two actors to win both the Tony and the Oscar twice.

I think this is FREDERIC MARCH.

A-78. Speaking of people marrying the same person twice, she was twice married to a writer whose screenplays netted Oscar nominations or wins for five of the actors on List A. (And, yes, she was one of the five.)

Posted: **Mon Mar 16, 2009 12:24 pm**

One more

A-34. Her film career has embraced characters created by Agatha Christie, Aldous Huxley, Virgina Woolf, Anton Chekhov, Henry James, E.M. Forster, Isabel Allende, and Euripides.

KATHARINE HEPBURN?

A-2. The first three film musicals he directed had the same star – himself – and the same co-director.

I would assume this is GENE KELLY, with Stanley Donen as co-director.

I can tell you that our waitress is left-handed and the guy sitting up at the counter weighs two hundred fifteen pounds and knows how to handle himself. I know the best place to look for a gun is the cab of the gray truck outside, and at this altitude, I can run flat out for a half mile before my hands start shaking. Now why would I know that? How can I know that and not know who I am?”

THE BOURNE IDENTITY

JOSH BROLIN?

A-9. “Gold's a devilish sort of thing, anyway. You start out, you tell yourself you'll be satisfied with 25,000 handsome smackers worth of it. So help me, Lord, and cross my heart. Fine resolution. After months of sweatin' yourself dizzy, and growin' short on provisions, and findin' nothin', you finally come down to 15,000, then ten. Finally, you say, ‘Lord, let me just find $5,000 worth and I'll never ask for anythin' more the rest of my life.’”

CLARK GABLE?

A-27. “So there it was. Somewhere in the night, a Manhattan book editor was prowling the streets of Pittsburgh; best-selling author at his side, dead dog in his trunk.”

It's Wonder Boys, so I am assuming it's MICHAEL DOUGLAS?

MATTHEW MODINE? This is And the Band Played On.

A-31. “Injun will chase a thing till he thinks he's chased it enough. Then he quits. Same way when he runs. Seems like he never learns there's such a thing as a critter that'll just keep comin' on.

JOHN WAYNE, in The Searchers

A-32. This actress is six feet tall and drop-dead sexy … but even she came a cropper when she attempted to step into the high-heeled boots of the actress whom TV Guide declared the sexiest in television history.

Had to guess, this refers to UMA THURMAN and Diana Rigg

A-34. Her film career has embraced characters created by Agatha Christie, Aldous Huxley, Virgina Woolf, Anton Chekhov, Henry James, E.M. Forster, Isabel Allende, and Euripides.

VANESSA REDGRAVE was House of the Spirits by Allende. And Murder on the Orient Express. And I bet the others, too.

A-35. “Look at it this way. A man takes a job, you know? And that job … I mean, like that … that becomes what he is. You know, like, you do a thing and that's what you are. Like I've been a cabbie for thirteen years. Ten years at night. I still don't own my own cab. You know why? Because I don't want to. That must be what I want.

A-36. This was the only star to play a leading role in two separate musicals that won the Oscar for Best Picture.

MAURICE CHEVALIER?

A-37. “Look at the world today. Is there anything more pitiful? What madness there is! What blindness! What unintelligent leadership! A scurrying mass of bewildered humanity, crashing headlong against each other, propelled by an orgy of greed and brutality. A time must come my friend, when this orgy will spend itself. When brutality and the lust for power must perish by its own sword. Against that time, is why I avoided death, and am here. And why you were brought here. For when that day comes, the world must begin to look for a new life. And it is our hope that they may find it here. For here, we shall be with their books and their music, and a way of life based on one simple rule: Be Kind!”

It's that dude in LOST HORIZON

A-45. “I'm telling you that you're gonna stay here. You're gonna stay here if I have to go inside and call your chief of police and have him remind you of what he told you to do. But I don't think I have to do that, you see? No, because you're so damn smart. You're smarter than any white man. You're just gonna stay here and show us all.

ROD STEIGER?

A-47. “James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington ... John Adams. We've long resisted asking you for guidance.

But we've come to understand, finally, that this is not so. We understand now, we've been made to understand, and to embrace the understanding ... that who we are is who we were. We desperately need your strength and wisdom to triumph over our fears, our prejudices, ourselves. Give us the courage to do what is right. And if it means civil war? Then let it come. And when it does, may it be, finally, the last battle of the American Revolution.”

ANTHONY HOPKINS as Adams' son in Amistad

A-50. She appeared in films directed by Jean-Luc Godard, produced by Ross Hunter, and starring Clint Eastwood – but not, I hasten to add, all at the same time.

JANE FONDA was in Tout va bien, so that's possible

A-51. “Don't you dare do that. You hear me? Hold it right there! You put that ice cream in your mouth and you are in very, very, very big trouble.”

DUSTIN HOFFMAN in Kramer, I think

A-72. He now claims that the entire antiwar movement during the Vietnam era was the result of Marxist propaganda – ironic, considering the role that won him an Oscar.

How about VANESSA REDGRAVE? House of the Spirits, Murder on the Orient Express, Mrs. Dalloway. Notsure of the others, though.

It's definitely that, she was in The Bostonians by James and The Devils (Brave New World's never been a major movie, as far as I know). Devils is actually based on a Huxley work of nonfiction - it's a description of the actual Salem-type events that happened in France in the 17th century.

MERYL STREEP

A-16. One of the actresses who did NOT make Smiler Grogan’s last movie puzzle – although the sitcom on which she played a parent WAS included – claims that she was once engaged to this iconic film star. Got that? (If you don’t, there’s a follow-up to this clue later on.)

LAURENCE HARVEY?

KEVIN KLINE

A-22. As far as I know, she was the only actress who was around early enough to star opposite Harry Langdon, and late enough to be directed by Steven Spielberg.

JOAN CRAWFORD

UMA THURMAN

A-33. “It was right then that I started thinking about Thomas Jefferson on the Declaration of Independence and the part about our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

How did he know that?”

WILL SMITH

A-34. Her film career has embraced characters created by Agatha Christie, Aldous Huxley, Virgina Woolf, Anton Chekhov, Henry James, E.M. Forster, Isabel Allende, and Euripides.

VANESSA REDGRAVE

A-35. “Look at it this way. A man takes a job, you know? And that job … I mean, like that … that becomes what he is. You know, like, you do a thing and that's what you are. Like I've been a cabbie for thirteen years. Ten years at night. I still don't own my own cab. You know why? Because I don't want to. That must be what I want. To be on the night shift drivin' somebody else's cab. You understand? I mean, you become … you get a job, you become the job. One guy lives in Brooklyn. One guy lives in Sutton Place. You got a lawyer. Another guy's a doctor. Another guy dies. Another guy gets well. People are born, y'know? I envy you your youth. Go on, get laid, get drunk. Do anything. You got no choice, anyway.

LESLIE CARON? MAURICE CHEVALIER?

A-37. “Look at the world today. Is there anything more pitiful? What madness there is! What blindness! What unintelligent leadership! A scurrying mass of bewildered humanity, crashing headlong against each other, propelled by an orgy of greed and brutality. A time must come my friend, when this orgy will spend itself. When brutality and the lust for power must perish by its own sword. Against that time, is why I avoided death, and am here. And why you were brought here. For when that day comes, the world must begin to look for a new life. And it is our hope that they may find it here. For here, we shall be with their books and their music, and a way of life based on one simple rule: Be Kind!”

SAM JAFFE

A-38. He figured as a parent in Smiler Grogan’s last movie game – but his own record as a real-life parent is probably the worst of anybody who appeared in either that game or this one.

But I don't think I have to do that, you see? No, because you're so damn smart. You're smarter than any white man. You're just gonna stay here and show us all. You've got such a big head that you could never live with yourself unless you could put us all to shame.”

ROD STEIGER

A-46. Surprisingly, MGM didn’t throw a monkey wrench into the works when she married the actor who played her son in her most popular movie.

GREER GARSON

A-47. “James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington ... John Adams. We've long resisted asking you for guidance. Perhaps we have feared in doing so, we might acknowledge that our individuality, which we so, so revere, is not entirely our own. Perhaps we've feared an appeal to you might be taken for weakness. But we've come to understand, finally, that this is not so. We understand now, we've been made to understand, and to embrace the understanding ... that who we are is who we were. We desperately need your strength and wisdom to triumph over our fears, our prejudices, ourselves. Give us the courage to do what is right. And if it means civil war? Then let it come. And when it does, may it be, finally, the last battle of the American Revolution.”

ANTHONY HOPKINS?

A-48. Between 1926 and 1937, she made seven films for her favorite American director – including two in which she played title characters with the same first name.

DUSTIN HOFFMAN

MARCELLO MASTROANNI?

A-67. “And what am I supposed to do, huh? Go back to taxi dancin'? Ten cents so some slob can sweat gin all over me? I'm never doin' that again! So you go back there and you tell ol' rich Mr. Old Chocolate Man that he ain't closing me down!”

A-71. “I find you very attractive. Your aggressive moves toward me indicate that you feel the same way. But still, ritual requires that we go through a number of platonic activities before we … have sex. I'm simply proceeding with those activities. But in point of actual fact, all I really want to do is have intercourse with you as soon as possible.”

RUSSELL CROWE

A-72. He now claims that the entire antiwar movement during the Vietnam era was the result of Marxist propaganda – ironic, considering the role that won him an Oscar.

SEAN PENN??

A-76. He recreated on film a role that had been created on television by an actor who had been married – twice – to an actress in one of the preceding clues. Got that?

JOHN TURTURRO

“I'm a drunkard.”

CASABLANCA

B-2. Two of the triangle points in this landmark film were played by Queen Elizabeth I and Judas Iscariot.

INTOLERANCE?

B-3. “There are times when my conscience asks which has priority. It or the Holy Rule? When the bell calls me to chapel, I often have to sacrifice what might be the decisive moment in a spiritual talk with a patient. I'm late every day for chapel or refectory or both. When I have night duty I break the Grand Silence because I can no longer cut short a talk with a patient who seems to need me. Mother, why must God's helpers be struck dumb by five bells in the very hours when men in trouble want to talk about their souls?”

B-4. This six teenage actors recruited for this film from the original Broadway production caused so much offscreen destruction that Sam Goldwyn sold their contracts en masse to Warner Brothers.

DEAD END?

B-5. “The deadliest weapon in the world is a marine and his rifle. It is your killer instinct which must be harnessed if you expect to survive in combat. Your rifle is only a tool. It is a hard heart that kills. If your killer instincts are not clean and strong you will hesitate at the moment of truth. You will not kill. You will become dead marines and then you will be in a world of shit because marines are not allowed to die without permission. Do you maggots understand?”

FULL METAL JACKET

“Yeah, who exactly is going to make love?”
“Hopefully, the three of us.”

B-8. This movie marked the only screen appearance of a Massachusetts cop named William Obanhein.

ALICE’S RESTAURANT

B-9. “Good morning everybody, this is a robbery. Now if nobody loses their head, nobody will lose their head. Now Simon says everybody lay down on the floor, except you sir. You'll have a story to tell your friends, or a tag on your toe, it's your decision, now you take this bag and empty the cash register into it.”

THELMA AND LOUISE

B-10. This courtroom drama was the first film made by its star’s independent production company – in fact, the first film made by any Hollywood star’s independent production company.

Weyoun mentioned that it might be Anatomy of a Murder BUT I am pretty sure the panties line is from that. Still, something with Preminger seems like a good guess for going outside what the studios would have wanted.

B-11. “What is U.S. strategy?”
“Most strictly speaking, we don't have one. But we're working on it.”
“Who's 'we'?”
“Me and three other guys.”

THE COCONUTS?

B-13. “You got any kids?”
“Three.”
“I got one. Twenty-two years old. When he was nine years old he ran away from a fight. I saw it; I was so embarrassed I almost threw up. I said, ‘I'm gonna make a man outa you if I have to break you in two tryin’.’ And I made a man out of him. When he was sixteen we had a fight. Hit me in the jaw - a big kid. Haven't seen him for two years. Kids. Work your heart out….”

TWELVE ANGRY MEN

B-14. This early musical introduced what would become a Rodgers and Hart standard – although the lyrics used in the movie were emphatically not romantic.

ONE HOUR WITH YOU? THE SMILING LIEUTENANT? A MacDonald-Chevalier movie, definitely.

B-15. “I believe it. My wife says, ‘Darling, you won't believe it, but I found the most adorable baby on our doorstep and I've decided to keep it for our very own. Now you won't believe it, but it's got exactly my eyes and nose.’ Why does she keep saying I won't believe it? I believe it. I believe it.”

B-16. One of the most harrowing movies ever made – far more harrowing, in fact, than the real-life events depicted therein – it was banned for more than ten years in the country in which it was set.

MIDNIGHT EXPRESS? STRAW DOGS?

B-17. “There's a certain light connotation attached to the word ‘panties.’ Can we find another name for them?”

ANATOMY OF A MURDER

B-18. John Wayne roundly castigated a fellow tough-guy actor for appearing as the decidedly non-tough subject of this biopic.

LUST FOR LIFE

B-19. “You threw a man out of a window!”
“I didn't throw him. He fell.”
“Well, what did he do to you?”
“What?”
“What did he do to you.?”
“Nothing. I only met him tonight.”
“You just met him once and you killed him like that?”
“What? I should only kill people after I get to know them?”

B-20. This British movie was the third of four Best Picture nominees based on the work of the greatest novelist to have four adaptations of his work receive Oscar nominations for Best Picture. Got that?

DAVID COPPERFIELD? GREAT EXPECTATIONS?

B-21. “How much do you make off me while I'm sleeping?”
“Just a ride, Mike. I don't make anything. What, you think that I sell your body while you’re asleep?”

B-22. Speaking of the Angry Young Man school – which we were back in Clue A-20 – this working-class drama was the second film and first starring vehicle of an actor who would later have one of his best roles opposite the actor referenced in Clue A-20.

B-23. “Fellas, I don't recognize the right of this committee to ask me these kind of questions. And furthermore, you can all go f**k yourselves.”

THE FRONT

B-24. The screenplay for this grim World War II naval movie was written by a former naval aviator who would later be posthumously played by the movie’s star.

THEY WERE EXPENDABLE

B-25. “I thought you were good Paul. But you're not good. You're just another lying ol' dirty birdy.”

MISERY

B-26. The star who won the Best Actor Oscar for this depressing drama had previously won a supporting Oscar for a comic role.

SAVE THE TIGER

B-27. “We're all very, very different, but there is one thing that we all have in common: we were all stupid enough to enlist in the Army. We're mutants. There's something wrong with us, something very, very wrong with us. Something seriously wrong with us: we're soldiers. But we're American soldiers! We've been kicking ass for 200 years! We're 10 and 1!”

STRIPES

B-28. The year after this movie musical was released, the stage version became the longest running show in Broadway history – a position it held for over nearly eight years.

HELLO DOLLY?

B-29. “Well, the little guy was kinda funny-lookin'.”
“In what way?”
“I dunno... just funny-lookin'.”
“Can you be any more specific?”
“I couldn't really say. He wasn't circumcised.”
“Was he funny lookin' apart from that?”

FARGO

B-30. A favorite flick of conspiracy buffs everywhere, it was cited by Entertainment Weekly as the fifth most controversial movie of all time.

To be on the night shift drivin' somebody else's cab. You understand? I mean, you become … you get a job, you become the job. One guy lives in Brooklyn. One guy lives in Sutton Place.

Perhaps we have feared in doing so, we might acknowledge that our individuality, which we so, so revere, is not entirely our own. Perhaps we've feared an appeal to you might be taken for weakness. But we've come to understand, finally, that this is not so. We understand now, we've been made to understand, and to embrace the understanding ... that who we are is who we were. We desperately need your strength and wisdom to triumph over our fears, our prejudices, ourselves. Give us the courage to do what is right. And if it means civil war? Then let it come.

INTOLERANCE?

Mother, why must God's helpers be struck dumb by five bells in the very hours when men in trouble want to talk about their souls?”

DEAD END?

B-5. “The deadliest weapon in the world is a marine and his rifle. It is your killer instinct which must be harnessed if you expect to survive in combat. Your rifle is only a tool.

THELMA AND LOUISE

B-10. This courtroom drama was the first film made by its star’s independent production company – in fact, the first film made by any Hollywood star’s independent production company.

Weyoun mentioned that it might be Anatomy of a Murder BUT I am pretty sure the panties line is from that. Still, something with Preminger seems like a good guess for going outside what the studios would have wanted.

B-11. “What is U.S. strategy?”
“Most strictly speaking, we don't have one. But we're working on it.”
“Who's 'we'?”
“Me and three other guys.”

TWELVE ANGRY MEN

B-14. This early musical introduced what would become a Rodgers and Hart standard – although the lyrics used in the movie were emphatically not romantic.

ONE HOUR WITH YOU? THE SMILING LIEUTENANT? A MacDonald-Chevalier movie, definitely.

B-15. “I believe it. My wife says, ‘Darling, you won't believe it, but I found the most adorable baby on our doorstep and I've decided to keep it for our very own. Now you won't believe it, but it's got exactly my eyes and nose.’ Why does she keep saying I won't believe it? I believe it. I believe it.”

B-16. One of the most harrowing movies ever made – far more harrowing, in fact, than the real-life events depicted therein – it was banned for more than ten years in the country in which it was set.

MIDNIGHT EXPRESS? STRAW DOGS?

B-17. “There's a certain light connotation attached to the word ‘panties.’ Can we find another name for them?”

ANATOMY OF A MURDER

LUST FOR LIFE

B-19. “You threw a man out of a window!”

“What? I should only kill people after I get to know them?”

B-23. “Fellas, I don't recognize the right of this committee to ask me these kind of questions. And furthermore, you can all go f**k yourselves.”

THE FRONT

B-24. The screenplay for this grim World War II naval movie was written by a former naval aviator who would later be posthumously played by the movie’s star.

THEY WERE EXPENDABLE

B-25. “I thought you were good Paul. But you're not good. You're just another lying ol' dirty birdy.”

MISERY

B-26. The star who won the Best Actor Oscar for this depressing drama had previously won a supporting Oscar for a comic role.

SAVE THE TIGER

B-27. “We're all very, very different, but there is one thing that we all have in common: we were all stupid enough to enlist in the Army. We're mutants. There's something wrong with us, something very, very wrong with us. Something seriously wrong with us: we're soldiers. But we're American soldiers! We've been kicking ass for 200 years! We're 10 and 1!”

STRIPES

B-28. The year after this movie musical was released, the stage version became the longest running show in Broadway history – a position it held for over nearly eight years.

HELLO DOLLY?

B-29. “Well, the little guy was kinda funny-lookin'.”
“In what way?”
“I dunno... just funny-lookin'.”
“Can you be any more specific?”
“I couldn't really say. He wasn't circumcised.”
“Was he funny lookin' apart from that?”

FARGO

B-30. A favorite flick of conspiracy buffs everywhere, it was cited by Entertainment Weekly as the fifth most controversial movie of all time.

If this refers to "Mrs. Doubtfire," it's wrong. The clue implies that there are TWO title characters.

A-43. “The only reason people are nice to me is because I have more money than God.”

SHIRLEY MACLAINE? DUDLEY MOORE?

Pretty sure it's MacLaine, in "Steel Magnolias".

A-44. In 1985, this veteran character actor was chosen to play the title role of the best-loved fictional character in history, but he himself only received third billing in the movie.

DAVID HUDDLESTON

A-45. “I'm telling you that you're gonna stay here. You're gonna stay here if I have to go inside and call your chief of police and have him remind you of what he told you to do. But I don't think I have to do that, you see? No, because you're so damn smart. You're smarter than any white man. You're just gonna stay here and show us all. You've got such a big head that you could never live with yourself unless you could put us all to shame.”

ROD STEIGER

A-46. Surprisingly, MGM didn’t throw a monkey wrench into the works when she married the actor who played her son in her most popular movie.

GREER GARSON

A-47. “James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington ... John Adams. We've long resisted asking you for guidance. Perhaps we have feared in doing so, we might acknowledge that our individuality, which we so, so revere, is not entirely our own. Perhaps we've feared an appeal to you might be taken for weakness. But we've come to understand, finally, that this is not so. We understand now, we've been made to understand, and to embrace the understanding ... that who we are is who we were. We desperately need your strength and wisdom to triumph over our fears, our prejudices, ourselves. Give us the courage to do what is right. And if it means civil war? Then let it come. And when it does, may it be, finally, the last battle of the American Revolution.”

ANTHONY HOPKINS?

Yep, it's from "Amistad".

A-48. Between 1926 and 1937, she made seven films for her favorite American director – including two in which she played title characters with the same first name.

GRETA GARBO?

A-49. “Eat something, I'm begging you! You look like a swizzle stick.”

MATT DILLON

A-50. She appeared in films directed by Jean-Luc Godard, produced by Ross Hunter, and starring Clint Eastwood – but not, I hasten to add, all at the same time.

JEAN SEBERG

A-51. “Don't you dare do that. You hear me? Hold it right there! You put that ice cream in your mouth and you are in very, very, very big trouble.”

DUSTIN HOFFMAN

A-52. She had the shortest filmography of any actress who made the Top Ten on the AFI’s list of Movie Legends – largely because she only made five feature films during the last 25 years of her life.

AVA GARDNER? AUDREY HEPBURN?

A-53. “Have you ever seen a Commie drink a glass of water?”

STERLING HAYDEN

A-54. I only have to drive a few miles north to reach the birthplace of this paisano, best known for playing teenagers well into his twenties.

SAL MINEO?

A-55. “My nipples are very sensitive.”

STEVE CARRELL? ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER?

A-56. She retired from acting at the age of 35, ten years after receiving her only Oscar nomination, and one year after her older sister received her only Oscar nomination.

A-57. “You know what I believe I'd like? A chocolate fudge sundae with whipped cream and a cherry on top.”

SPENCER TRACY

A-58. This actress, who achieved a notable Oscar “first,” was later portrayed on television by an actress who achieved a related Oscar “first”.

DOROTHY DANDRIDGE?

Definitely. Dandridge was the first black nominee for Best Actress; Halle Berry played her (and later was the first black woman to win that award).

A-59. “Yeah, that's right! That's right! We bad!”

GENE WILDER? RICHARD PRYOR?

A-60. In a career spanning five decades, his varied acts of villainy have pitted him against the likes of Albert Finney, Jeff Bridges, Malcolm McDowell, and Leonard DiCaprio.

DAVID WARNER

A-61. “What have you done to him? What have you done to his eyes, you maniacs!”

MIA FARROW? CHARLTON HESTON

Definitely FARROW. "Rosemary's Baby"

A-62. In a 1962 remake, she played the aunt of the character she had played in the 1936 version.

MIRIAM HOPKINS

A-63. “I can't recall the taste of food ... nor the sound of water ... nor the touch of grass. I'm naked in the dark.”

ELIJAH WOOD

A-64. According to her mother, the wooden box that caused this actress to freak out was really, really, really not intended to represent a coffin.

MELANIE GRIFFITH

A-65. “He'll regret it till his dying day, if ever he lives that long.”

VICTOR MCLAGLEN

A-66. Talk about Odd Couples: this international heart throb and Walter Matthau have shared no less than three Oscar-winning leading ladies. (Shared them on screen, we hasten to add.)

MARCELLO MASTROANNI?

A-67. “And what am I supposed to do, huh? Go back to taxi dancin'? Ten cents so some slob can sweat gin all over me? I'm never doin' that again! So you go back there and you tell ol' rich Mr. Old Chocolate Man that he ain't closing me down!”

MADONNA

A-68. His filmography includes one role that had been played 23 years earlier by the Cisco Kid and would be played 25 years later by the Sundance Kid.

Gotta be ALAN LADD (Jay Gatsby).

A-69. “That library over there is worth millions, and people keep telling me you're a piece of slime.”

JIMMY CAGNEY

A-70. This actress, who committed suicide at the age of 39, said that the only man she ever loved was the actor referenced in Clue A-16.

A-71. “I find you very attractive. Your aggressive moves toward me indicate that you feel the same way. But still, ritual requires that we go through a number of platonic activities before we … have sex. I'm simply proceeding with those activities. But in point of actual fact, all I really want to do is have intercourse with you as soon as possible.”

RUSSELL CROWE

A-72. He now claims that the entire antiwar movement during the Vietnam era was the result of Marxist propaganda – ironic, considering the role that won him an Oscar.

JON VOIGHT

A-73. “We do not and cannot accept the principle that incompetence justifies dismissal. That is victimisation.”

PETER SELLERS

A-74. His long career included one role that had earlier been played by the actor in Clue A-18, and one role that would later be played by the actor in Clue A-33.

Maybe CHARLETON HESTON? The only thing I can think of Will Smith's that was a remake (of sorts) was "I Am Legend" which was earlier made as "The Omega Man".

A-75. “I've never been called a son of God before. I've been called a son of a you-know-what plenty of times, but I've never been called a son of God.”

SEAN PENN??

Yep, from "Dead Man Walking".

A-76. He recreated on film a role that had been created on television by an actor who had been married – twice – to an actress in one of the preceding clues. Got that?

A-77. “You know what the problem with you bums is? You never leave a guy alone unless you're leaving him alone.”

JOHN TURTURRO

A-78. Speaking of people marrying the same person twice, she was twice married to a writer whose screenplays netted Oscar nominations or wins for five of the actors on List A. (And, yes, she was one of the five.)

SARAH MILES?

A-79. “I proved once and for all that the limb is mightier than the thumb”

CLAUDETTE COLBERT

A-80. In his final two films, this superstar played real-life bounty hunters.

STEVE MCQUEEN

LIST B: MOVIES

B-1. “What is your nationality?”
“I'm a drunkard.”

CASABLANCA

B-2. Two of the triangle points in this landmark film were played by Queen Elizabeth I and Judas Iscariot.

INTOLERANCE?

B-3. “There are times when my conscience asks which has priority. It or the Holy Rule? When the bell calls me to chapel, I often have to sacrifice what might be the decisive moment in a spiritual talk with a patient. I'm late every day for chapel or refectory or both. When I have night duty I break the Grand Silence because I can no longer cut short a talk with a patient who seems to need me. Mother, why must God's helpers be struck dumb by five bells in the very hours when men in trouble want to talk about their souls?”

B-4. This six teenage actors recruited for this film from the original Broadway production caused so much offscreen destruction that Sam Goldwyn sold their contracts en masse to Warner Brothers.

DEAD END?

B-5. “The deadliest weapon in the world is a marine and his rifle. It is your killer instinct which must be harnessed if you expect to survive in combat. Your rifle is only a tool. It is a hard heart that kills. If your killer instincts are not clean and strong you will hesitate at the moment of truth. You will not kill. You will become dead marines and then you will be in a world of shit because marines are not allowed to die without permission. Do you maggots understand?”

FULL METAL JACKET

B-6. This was the only move to earn a posthumous Oscar nomination for an actor who had already received a posthumous Oscar nomination.

GIANT

B-7. “I'll show you around the city, and we'll eat well. We'll drink good wine. We'll make love.”
“Yeah, who exactly is going to make love?”
“Hopefully, the three of us.”

VICKY CHRISTINA BARCELONA

B-8. This movie marked the only screen appearance of a Massachusetts cop named William Obanhein.

ALICE’S RESTAURANT

B-9. “Good morning everybody, this is a robbery. Now if nobody loses their head, nobody will lose their head. Now Simon says everybody lay down on the floor, except you sir. You'll have a story to tell your friends, or a tag on your toe, it's your decision, now you take this bag and empty the cash register into it.”

THELMA AND LOUISE

B-10. This courtroom drama was the first film made by its star’s independent production company – in fact, the first film made by any Hollywood star’s independent production company.

Weyoun mentioned that it might be Anatomy of a Murder BUT I am pretty sure the panties line is from that. Still, something with Preminger seems like a good guess for going outside what the studios would have wanted.

B-11. “What is U.S. strategy?”
“Most strictly speaking, we don't have one. But we're working on it.”
“Who's 'we'?”
“Me and three other guys.”

CHARLIE WILSON’S WAR

B-12. This film sparked Groucho’s famous quip about the relative sizes of the mammaries of the leading man and leading lady.

THE COCONUTS?

B-13. “You got any kids?”
“Three.”
“I got one. Twenty-two years old. When he was nine years old he ran away from a fight. I saw it; I was so embarrassed I almost threw up. I said, ‘I'm gonna make a man outa you if I have to break you in two tryin’.’ And I made a man out of him. When he was sixteen we had a fight. Hit me in the jaw - a big kid. Haven't seen him for two years. Kids. Work your heart out….”

TWELVE ANGRY MEN

B-14. This early musical introduced what would become a Rodgers and Hart standard – although the lyrics used in the movie were emphatically not romantic.

ONE HOUR WITH YOU? THE SMILING LIEUTENANT? A MacDonald-Chevalier movie, definitely.

B-15. “I believe it. My wife says, ‘Darling, you won't believe it, but I found the most adorable baby on our doorstep and I've decided to keep it for our very own. Now you won't believe it, but it's got exactly my eyes and nose.’ Why does she keep saying I won't believe it? I believe it. I believe it.”

STALAG-17.

B-16. One of the most harrowing movies ever made – far more harrowing, in fact, than the real-life events depicted therein – it was banned for more than ten years in the country in which it was set.

MIDNIGHT EXPRESS? STRAW DOGS?

B-17. “There's a certain light connotation attached to the word ‘panties.’ Can we find another name for them?”

ANATOMY OF A MURDER

B-18. John Wayne roundly castigated a fellow tough-guy actor for appearing as the decidedly non-tough subject of this biopic.

LUST FOR LIFE

B-19. “You threw a man out of a window!”
“I didn't throw him. He fell.”
“Well, what did he do to you?”
“What?”
“What did he do to you.?”
“Nothing. I only met him tonight.”
“You just met him once and you killed him like that?”
“What? I should only kill people after I get to know them?”

COLLATERAL

B-20. This British movie was the third of four Best Picture nominees based on the work of the greatest novelist to have four adaptations of his work receive Oscar nominations for Best Picture. Got that?

DAVID COPPERFIELD? GREAT EXPECTATIONS?

B-21. “How much do you make off me while I'm sleeping?”
“Just a ride, Mike. I don't make anything. What, you think that I sell your body while you’re asleep?”

MY OWN PRIVATE IDAHO

B-22. Speaking of the Angry Young Man school – which we were back in Clue A-20 – this working-class drama was the second film and first starring vehicle of an actor who would later have one of his best roles opposite the actor referenced in Clue A-20.

B-23. “Fellas, I don't recognize the right of this committee to ask me these kind of questions. And furthermore, you can all go f**k yourselves.”

THE FRONT

B-24. The screenplay for this grim World War II naval movie was written by a former naval aviator who would later be posthumously played by the movie’s star.

THEY WERE EXPENDABLE

B-25. “I thought you were good Paul. But you're not good. You're just another lying ol' dirty birdy.”

MISERY

B-26. The star who won the Best Actor Oscar for this depressing drama had previously won a supporting Oscar for a comic role.

SAVE THE TIGER

B-27. “We're all very, very different, but there is one thing that we all have in common: we were all stupid enough to enlist in the Army. We're mutants. There's something wrong with us, something very, very wrong with us. Something seriously wrong with us: we're soldiers. But we're American soldiers! We've been kicking ass for 200 years! We're 10 and 1!”

STRIPES

B-28. The year after this movie musical was released, the stage version became the longest running show in Broadway history – a position it held for over nearly eight years.

HELLO DOLLY?

B-29. “Well, the little guy was kinda funny-lookin'.”
“In what way?”
“I dunno... just funny-lookin'.”
“Can you be any more specific?”
“I couldn't really say. He wasn't circumcised.”
“Was he funny lookin' apart from that?”

FARGO

B-30. A favorite flick of conspiracy buffs everywhere, it was cited by Entertainment Weekly as the fifth most controversial movie of all time.
