Game #145: It’s the Right Time For a Movie Game

Identify the 125 movies in the clues below. (Every other clue is a quotation.) Then, match them into 56 triples and 2 quadruples according to a Tangredi, or principle you must discover for yourself. There will be 37 movies used twice and seven used three times. No movie will be used in exactly the same way more than once.

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

2. The producer of this 1980 film claimed that it was the first movie filmed in Australia that was not set in Australia.

3. “Let me tell you, I know you don't want to listen to your father, I didn't listen to mine, and I am telling you you gotta pay attention this time. When life reaches out at a moment like this it's a sin if you don't reach back, I'm telling you its a sin if you don't reach back! It'll haunt you the rest of your days like a curse. You're facing a big challenge in your life right now at this very moment, right here. That girl loves you, she really really loves you. I don't know if Nicki ever did, but she sure as s**t doesn't right now. So don't f**k this up.”

4. Like Inherit the Wind, released the same year, this literary adaptation featured a fictional reporter modeled after H. L. Mencken.

5. “My first wife was clever, my second was ambitious, but my third. . . . Thomas, if you want to be happy, marry a girl like my sweet little Jane. Marry a stupid woman!”

6. A lot of us wouldn’t be here if we faced the same penalty for getting a trivia question wrong that Steve received early in this film. Poor Steve.

7. “I heard you like to shoot dogs.”
“Dogs got no reason to live.”

8. This 1953 romantic comedy was the fourth highest-ranking film on the AFI list of greatest love stories, and the highest ranking film on that list not to have won an Oscar for Best Picture.

9. “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.”

10. This cynical musical was originally conceived as a sequel to On the Town, but was rewritten when Frank Sinatra was unavailable. (Too bad; he might have provided some much-needed help at the box office.)

11. “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.”

12. The three leading ladies of this family comedy had all previously appeared on television as love interests of the Fresh Prince.

13. “It was you who betrayed me!
“I didn’t betray you. I simply put a stop to you.”

14. Based on reports about relations between the two female stars of this movie, they probably had to make doubly sure that the guns in the final shootout did not have real bullets in them.

15. “You have a young navigator here! Well, I'll tell you son. Due to a Cecil wind, Dystor's vectored us into a 360-tarson of slow air traffic. Now we'll maintain this Borden hold until we get the Forta Magnus clearance from Melnics. “

16. The four leads in this movie were played by only two actors in the stage version – a change that led Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh to back out of the project.

17. “Have I mentioned that I am the preeminent Proust scholar in the U.S.?”

18. After the premiere of this comedy, Adam Sandler bought each of his four male co-stars a Maserati – making it rather surprising that only three of them signed on for the sequel.

19. “You’re just not couth!”
“Yeah? Well, I’m as couth as you are!”

20. This 1945 noir classic was the first ‘B’ movie included in the National Film Registry.

21. “You're lying. It didn't die. You took it. You're lying. You witches! You're lying! You're lying! You're lying!”

22. This 1997 romantic comedy – like two other films and a Broadway musical before it – was adapted from a play that had premiered in Budapest sixty years earlier.

23. “Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry to drag you from your desserts. There are just one or two little things I feel I should say, as best man. This is only the second time I've been a best man. I hope I did okay that time. The couple in question are at least still talking to me. Unfortunately, they're not actually talking to each other. The divorce came through a couple of months ago. But I'm assured it had absolutely nothing to do with me. Paula knew Piers had slept with her sister before I mentioned it in the speech. The fact that he'd slept with her mother came as a surprise, but I think was incidental to the nightmare of recrimination and violence that became their two-day marriage. Anyway, enough of that.”

24. One of the most suspenseful scenes in this Hitchcock thriller involves a sack of potatoes.

25. “This is when I know I'm helpless. My hands are down there on the bed. I can't put them on again without calling to somebody for help. I can't smoke a cigarette or read a book. If that door should blow shut, I can't open it and get out of this room. I'm as dependent as a baby that doesn't know how to get anything except to cry for it.”

26. This classic movie reunited the three male stars of the previous year’s Oscar winner for Best Picture.

27. “I can get you out of Kenya. it's one of the few things we still do well. Drop it now, and it's over. I'll make sure word gets to the right people. Go home. and live.”
“But I don't have a home, Tim. Tessa was my home.”

28. When Cary Grant was offered the lead in this movie, not only did he turn it down, he swore that he wouldn’t even go see it unless they cast the star of the original Broadway production. (One assumes Cary did, in fact, go see it.)

29. “The room's a wreck, but her napkin is folded.”

30. This movie was a stopover on a journey that went from Lillian Gish to Cicely Tyson.

31. “Why should I think about reality in this stink hole? That's like ‘Why should I get more depressed that I already am?’”
“You're worse than I thought! Do you use these movies to jerk yourself off?”
“If you don't stop, I will never speak to you again!”
“Stop crying! You sound just like an old woman!”
“It's what I am! It's what I am!”
“What's this between your legs, huh? Tell me, ‘lady’!
“It's an accident! If I had the courage, I'd cut it off!”

32. Queenie Leonard was the second to die in this movie but the last to die in real life.

33. “Too soon, too soon, he died too soon.”
“About an hour too soon.”

34. This silent classic won an Oscar for “Artistic Quality of Production” – in effect, a second Best Picture award that was never given again.

35. “We're changing the order we do things. Read to me first, kid. Then we make love.”

36. This was the only film in which Sidney Lumet directed his mother-in-law. (Both the film and the marriage flopped the same year.)

37. “I'm just gettin' warmed up! I don't know who went to this place, William Howard Taft, William Jennings Bryan, William Tell, whoever. Their spirit is dead, if they ever had one. It's gone. You're building a rat ship here. A vessel for seagoing snitches, and if you think you're preparing these minnows for manhood, you better think again, because I say you are killing the very spirit this institution proclaims it instills. What a sham! What kind of a show you guys are putting on here today? I mean, the only class in this act is sitting next to me, and I'm here to tell ya this boy's soul is intact. It's non-negotiable.”

38. The first movie about the Korean War – it was shot in ten days only six months after the war started – it sparked charges that its director was “red” and “anti-American.”

39. “That's right. I've killed women and children. I've killed just about everything that walks or crawled at one time or another. And I'm here to kill you.”

40. This winner of the 2000 Saturn Award for Best Fantasy Film is one of the most imaginative treatments of the paradoxes of time travel and changing the past – even though nobody in the movie actually travels through time.

41. “I'm the baddest man in the world!”
“You don't look so bad to me.”
“What did you say, Paper Champion? I'll beat you like a dog, a dog, you fool!”

42. Thanks to this movie, there’s an Oscar on display at a museum in Amsterdam.

43. “Despite the fact that you're one large pain in the arse, last night was the best thing that ever happened to me, girl-wise, and if you weren't behaving like such a horse’s rectum you would know that we could be inside touching and fondling all day long until I've got to go to rehearsal. Personally, madam, I think you blew it.”

44. William Wyler was brought in to complete this film after Howard Hawks (depending on who you believe) either quit or was fired.

45. “God came to me last night and told me your purpose for being here. I am going to help you write a new book.”

46. The title character of this 1954 film was reportedly based on Rita Hayworth, although there were also some resemblances to the later sex symbol who actually played the role.

47. “You're beginning to believe the illusions we're spinning here, you're beginning to believe that the tube is reality and your own lives are unreal. You do. Why, whatever the tube tells you: you dress like the tube, you eat like the tube, you raise your children like the tube, you even think like the tube. This is mass madness, you maniacs. In God's name, you people are the real thing, WE are the illusion.”

48. One of the most suspenseful scenes in this Hitchcock thriller involves a glass of milk.

49. “One day when my mother and father were singing together in the forest, a great storm blew up out of nowhere. But so passionate was their singing that they did not notice, nor did they stop as the rain began to fall, and when their voices rose for the final bars of the duet a great bolt of lighting came out of the sky and struck my father so that he lit up like a torch. And at the same moment my father was struck dead my mother was struck dumb! She never spoke another word.”

50. Highly conservative John Wayne hated hated hated this film, while highly liberal Gregory Peck said that turning it down was the worst mistake of his career.

51. “I was married to Ed for six years. Only thing he was ever good for was to scratch my back where I couldn't reach it.”
“You still got that itch?”
“Off and on.”
“Well let me know when it gets to bothering you.”

52. This cast of this comedy included one former Catwoman, one future Catwoman, one former Bond girl, and one future Bond girl – making a total of three actresses in all.

53. “Six months later, my father told me he was gay. He had just turned 75. I always remember him wearing a purple sweater when he told me this but actually he wore a robe.”

54. This movie was finally shown in Indonesia in November 2000 – seventeen years after its initial release.

55. “Them clothes got laundry numbers on them. You remember your number and always wear the ones that has your number. Any man forgets his number spends a night in the box. These here spoons you keep with you. Any man loses his spoon spends a night in the box. There's no playing grab-ass or fighting in the building. You got a grudge against another man, you fight him Saturday afternoon. Any man playing grab-ass or fighting in the building spends a night in the box.”

56. The star of the movie in Clue #52 received his only Oscar nomination for this musical.

57. “You can't wear red to the Olympus Ball!”

58. This American biopic was the first non-documentary granted permission to film in Mecca – but the director wasn’t granted permission to take part in the shooting.

59. “It just seems like we've been mad at each other for so long.”
“I didn't think we were mad; I just thought we didn't like each other.”

60. The distinguished author of the novel on which this film was based called it the second worst film he had ever seen, while Time magazine said it was “about as funny as a child molester.” (It was also – I hope – the only X-rated movie in which Andy Devine ever appeared.)

61. “What makes you think you can just walk in there and take whatever you want?”
“They’re called boobs, Ed.”

62. This is – I hope – the only movie ever to feature a super-villain named Mr. Tinkles.

63. “Why in all conscience should these be the ones to suffer? Children, old people, a young girl at the height of her loveliness. Why these? Are these our soldiers? Are these our fighters? Why should they be sacrificed? I shall tell you why. Because this is not only a war of soldiers in uniform. It is a war of the people, of all the people, and it must be fought not only on the battlefield, but in the cities and in the villages, in the factories and on the farms, in the home, and in the heart of every man, woman, and child who loves freedom!”

64. All of the complications in this move – which earned my favorite actress a Golden Globe nomination for Most Promising Female Newcomer – are caused by a really bad fog.

65. “I'm watching these people up on the screen and I started getting hooked on the film. I started to feel, how can you even think of killing yourself, I mean isn't it so stupid. Look at all the people up there on the screen, they're real funny, and what if the worst is true. What if there is no God and you only go around once and that's it. Well, you know, don't you wanna be part of the experience? You know, what the hell it's not all a drag. And I'm thinking to myself, Jeez, I should stop ruining my life searching for answers I'm never gonna get, and just enjoy it while it lasts. And after who knows, I mean maybe there is something, nobody really knows. I know maybe is a very slim reed to hang your whole life on, but that's the best we have. And then I started to sit back, and I actually began to enjoy myself.”

66. This 1966 psycho-horror-thriller asked the burning question: Did Don Ameche set the fire that killed Zsa Zsa Gabor? (A surprising number of people didn’t care.)

67. “I've been driving this route for 15 years. I've brought 'em out here to get that stuff, and I've drove 'em home after they had it. It changes them. On the way out here, they sit back and enjoy the ride. They talk to me; sometimes we stop and watch the sunsets, and look at the birds flyin'. Sometimes we stop and watch the birds when there ain't no birds. And look at the sunsets when its raining. We have a swell time. And I always get a big tip.”

68. Meryl Streep was considered for the title role in this film, but ended up making her screen debut in a much smaller role.

69. “Not all the obstacles that can trip you up are on this base. Let me tell you something about the local girls. Ever since there's been a base here, there's been what you'd call the Puget Sound Debs. The poor girls come across the sound on the ferry every weekend with just one thing in mind, and that's to marry themselves a naval aviator. A Puget Deb will tell you, ‘Don't you worry about contraceptives. I've got that all taken care of.’ Don't believe it, sweet pea. A Puget Deb will do anything and say anything to trap you. I know this sounds silly, especially in this so-called modern age, but you scuzzy college pukes should watch out, because they're out there, and you, sweet peas, are the answer to their dream!”

70. This movie and Wuthering Heights were the only adaptations of Victorian novels by someone other than Charles Dickens ever to receive Oscar nominations for Best Picture.

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

72. The score for this movie about a gynecologist was composed by Lyle Lovett.

73. “Forget it! I'm stayin' right where I am. It's gonna take you and the police department and the fire department and the National Guard to get me outta here!”

74. This Oscar-winning film was actually written after its “sequel,” which was nominated for Best Picture a year later.

75. “You have no reason to be mad at me, I mean, you know, you broke my heart. I should be royally ticked off at you. I should be really cheesed off, I shouldn't want to talk to you anymore.”
“What? Cause I got bored and had sex with you and I didn't want to like marry you?”
“Like I'd marry you! You'd be the meanest wife ever, okay? And I know that you weren't bored that day because there was a lot of stuff on TV, and then The Blair Witch Project was coming on Starz and you were like 'I haven't seen this since it came out and if so we should watch it' and then 'But oh, no, we should just make out instead la la la!'”

76. This movie marked the second time one of its two leading men had appeared in a film adaptation of a Clifford Odets play.

77. “Everything happens to me. Now I'm shot by a child.”

78. This was the first – and, for 47 years, the only – remake to win the Oscar for Best Picture.

79. “If there's magic in boxing, it's the magic of fighting battles beyond endurance, beyond cracked ribs, ruptured kidneys and detached retinas. It's the magic of risking everything for a dream that nobody sees but you.”

80. The movie referred to in the title of this movie is Red River.

81. “Six weeks ago, I spoke harshly to a patient and she committed suicide. Right in front of me. Perhaps she would have done this anyway. That's what my colleagues say. But I don't know.”

82. The fourth of sixteen films in a classic series, it was also the second of nine films to pair a classic screen duo.

83. “If I asked you about art, you'd probably give me the skinny on every art book ever written. Michelangelo, you know a lot about him. Life's work, political aspirations, him and the pope, sexual orientations, the whole works, right? But I'll bet you can't tell me what it smells like in the Sistine Chapel. You've never actually stood there and looked up at that beautiful ceiling; seen that. If I ask you about women, you'd probably give me a syllabus about your personal favorites. You may have even been laid a few times. But you can't tell me what it feels like to wake up next to a woman and feel truly happy.”

84. A quarter of a century after the release of this movie, its two top-billed stars showed up together in IAMMMMW.

85. “It's not the size of the nose that matters, it's what's inside that counts!”

86. It was the last of five feature films in an eight-year period adapted from the works of the same English novelist, and the third by the same director.

87. “The historical facts are known by everyone. All of Lawford, all of New Hampshire, some of Massachusetts. Facts do not make history. Our stories, Wade's and mine, describe the lives of the boys and men for thousands of years: boys who were beaten by their fathers, whose capacity for love and trust was crippled almost at birth, men whose best hope for connection with other human beings lay in detachment, as if life were over. It's how we keep from destroying in turn our own children and terrorizing the women who have the misfortune to love us; how we absent ourselves from the tradition of male violence; how we decline the seduction of revenge.”

88. Released on a double bill with Jesse James Meets Frankenstein’s Daughter, this movie might have been better – or at least more interesting – if it had starred Robert Taylor and Bela Lugosi.

89. “We don't put Wallace Beery in some fruity movie about suffering. I thought we were together on that.”

90. John Steinbeck – who never received the Pulitzer Prize for non-fiction – also never received an Oscar, though he did get nominated for three films, including this 1952 biopic.

91. “I'm loud and I'm vulgar, and I wear the pants in the house because somebody's got to, but I am not a monster. I'm not!”

92. Reportedly, scenes from this comedy – which was released the same year as the attack on Pearl Harbor – were used by the Japanese to show how stupid American soldiers were

93. “I never knew it could be like this! Nobody ever kissed me the way you do.”

94. Shirley MacLaine was originally cast in this British New Wave film, but she was replaced by another actress who was somewhat younger and much, much more British.

95. “He just wants to know that you don't hate him.”
“Hate him! How could I hate him? Mothers don't hate their sons!”

96. Elements incorporated into this movie include a clip from a Douglas Fairbanks swashbuckler, a snatch of a Bernard Hermann film score, and Mary Pickford’s bed.

97. “Do you have any dirty books?”
“No.”
“Aw, too bad. That’s the only thing they don’t publish in braille.”

98. This film features Mary Astor in a role that had earlier been played by Spring Byington and would later be played by Susan Sarandon.

99. “His pulse never got above 85, even when he ate her tongue.”

100. The real-life execution that provides the climax for this film took place on June 3, 1955.

101. “Like a midget at a urinal, I was going to have to stay on my toes.”

102. The lead character in this sex comedy/political satire was based on one of the victims of the Manson family.

103. “Here they are again, folks! These wonderful, wonderful kids! Still struggling! Still hoping! As the clock of fate ticks away, the dance of destiny continues!”

104. This movie was ranked #7 on the AFI list of greatest science fiction movies and #2 on Bravo’s list of scariest movies of all time.

105. “What will he find out there, doctor?”
“His destiny.”

106. Despite the title of this movie, Christine Sizemore insisted that there were actually 26.

107. “If a bullet should enter my brain, let that bullet destroy every closet door.”

108. Reportedly, the two male stars of this movie were apprehensive about shooting its most famous scene until they got drunk, compared their genitalia, and realized that they were about equal.

109. “Why, if I had half a chance, I could make an entire movie using this stock footage. The story opens on these mysterious explosions. Nobody knows what's causing them, but it's upsetting all the buffalo. So, the military are called in to solve the mystery.”
“You forgot the octopus.”
“No, no, I'm saving that for my big underwater climax.”

110. This was the first western that John Ford filmed in Monument Valley – but far from the last.

111. “I tell you there's nothing on the judge.”
“Jack, there's something on everybody. Man is conceived in sin and born in corruption.”

112. The first performer to win an Oscar under the direction of Martin Scorsese did so for this film.

113. “Mama always said, dying was a part of life. I sure wish it wasn't.”

114. This film was based on a Pulitzer Prize-winning novel that took its title from the working title of an earlier novel central to its plot.

115. “When I was your age, all I got was some guy standing up like that man, giving me a lot of bulls**t, man, which I caught. I was really in good shape then, man. I was captain of the football team. And I wanted to be a war hero, man, I wanted to go out and kill for my country. And now, I'm here to tell you that I have killed for my country or whatever. And I don't feel good about it. Because there's not enough reason, man, to feel a person die in your hands or to see your best buddy get blown away.”

116. In a climactic moment of a 1981 television biopic, Glenda Jackson recreated the shooting of a scene from this movie.

117. “I don’t trust happiness. Never did, never will.

118. I want the one starring Elvis, not the one starring Al Pacino.

119. “Haven't you noticed how nothing in this house seems to move until you look away and then you just... catch something out of the corner of your eye?”

120. The subject of this biopic was able to attend a screening of the first edit, but died of liver failure four months before it was released.

121. “In this grave hour f**k f**k f**k perhaps the most fateful in our history bugger s**t s**t. . . .”

122. The most expensive movie ever made in Hollywood up to that time, this biopic was a labor of love for Darryl Zanuck, and he never got over the fact that it bombed at the box office and lost the Oscar to a film in one of the preceding clues.

123. “In 1773, an official of this bank unwisely loaned a large sum of money to finance a shipment of tea to the American colonies. Do you know what happened?”
“Yes, sir. Yes, I think I do. As the ship lay anchored in Boston Harbor, a party of the colonists dressed as red Indians boarded the vessel, behaved very rudely, and threw all the tea overboard. This made the tea unsuitable for drinking. Even for Americans.”

124. A classic of the Angry Young Man school, it was the second film and first starring role for one of my favorite actors – and, according to him, the first English film to show a man in bed with another man’s wife.

125. “It ain't fittin'. It ain't fittin'. It jes' ain't fittin'. It ain't fittin'.”

We're making 58 groups, so that would only require 58 Best Actor/Actress films out of the 125 if that is one leg of the Tangredi. Actually fewer, considering some films won both awards.

But I'm assured it had absolutely nothing to do with me. Paula knew Piers had slept with her sister before I mentioned it in the speech.

You're building a rat ship here. A vessel for seagoing snitches, and if you think you're preparing these minnows for manhood, you better think again, because I say you are killing the very spirit this institution proclaims it instills. What a sham! What kind of a show you guys are putting on here today? I mean, the only class in this act is sitting next to me, and I'm here to tell ya this boy's soul is intact. It's non-negotiable.”
SCENT OF A WOMAN

38. The first movie about the Korean War – it was shot in ten days only six months after the war started – it sparked charges that its director was “red” and “anti-American.”
THE STEEL HELMET?

39. “That's right. I've killed women and children. I've killed just about everything that walks or crawled at one time or another. And I'm here to kill you.”
UNFORGIVEN

40. This winner of the 2000 Saturn Award for Best Fantasy Film is one of the most imaginative treatments of the paradoxes of time travel and changing the past – even though nobody in the movie actually travels through time.

Why, whatever the tube tells you: you dress like the tube, you eat like the tube, you raise your children like the tube, you even think like the tube. This is mass madness, you maniacs.

You got a grudge against another man, you fight him Saturday afternoon. Any man playing grab-ass or fighting in the building spends a night in the box.”

“Like I'd marry you! You'd be the meanest wife ever, okay? And I know that you weren't bored that day because there was a lot of stuff on TV, and then The Blair Witch Project was coming on Starz and you were like 'I haven't seen this since it came out and if so we should watch it' and then 'But oh, no, we should just make out instead la la la!'”

You've never actually stood there and looked up at that beautiful ceiling; seen that. If I ask you about women, you'd probably give me a syllabus about your personal favorites.

Only one of the "definites" is incorrect. It's incorrect because of a historical timing/literary classification issue.

Another one of the "definities" is correct as far as it goes, but it needs a further refinement to be matchable.

Of the answers with a single title and a question mark, all but one are correct. Of the question-marked answers that don't specify titles, one is on the right track and one isn't.

Of the answers with two or more alternates suggested, all but one include the correct answer.

There are enough correct answers to complete 22 matches.
