Identify the 75 movies in the clues below. (Every other clue is a quotation.) Then, create 36 pairs and 2 triples according to a Tangredi, or principle you must discover for yourself. One movie will be used twice and one will be used three times.

There will be no alternate matches.

1. “I'm shakin' the dust of this crummy little town off my feet and I'm gonna see the world. Italy, Greece, the Parthenon, the Coliseum. Then, I'm comin' back here to go to college and see what they know. And then I'm gonna build things. I'm gonna build airfields, I'm gonna build skyscrapers a hundred stories high, I'm gonna build bridges a mile long. . . .”

IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE

2. The nudity in this British film, which garnered its Italian director an Oscar nomination, helped put the final nail into the coffin of the Production Code.

3. “There's no living with a killing. There's no goin' back from one. Right or wrong, it's a brand. A brand sticks. There's no goin' back. Now you run on home to your mother and tell her . . . tell her everything's alright. And there aren't any more guns in the valley.”

4. THREE DECADES LATER, PART ONE: Billy Redden was in high school when he made an unforgettable appearance in this film; three decades later, he was working as a dishwasher when Tim Burton sought him out for a similar role.

DELIVERANCE

5. “The whole world out there is full of people who hate and fear you and you're wasting your time trying to protect them? I've got better things to do!”

6. John Boorman reportedly turned down an offer to direct this film because he thought it was cruel toward children, but he did agree to direct the sequel. Bad choices all around.

7. “Hold me.”
“I can’t.”

EDWARD SCISSORHANDS?

8. RODGERS AND HAMMERSTEIN ON FILM, PART ONE: This was the first screen adaptation of a Broadway musical to get an Oscar nomination for Best Picture.

9. “Remember Manny, if I get stuck – push!”

10. Santa Claus, the Beaver, and a corpse all played major roles in this black comedy.

THE TROUBLE WITH HARRY

11. “I've tried all the major religions, and most of the minor ones. I've worshipped Buddha, Allah, Brahma, Vishnu, Siva, trees, mushrooms, and Isadora Duncan. I know things. For instance, there are 108 beads in a Catholic rosary and there are 108 stitches in a baseball. When I heard that, I gave Jesus a chance. But it just didn't work out between us. The Lord laid too much guilt on me. I prefer metaphysics to theology. You see, there's no guilt in baseball, and it's never boring . . . which makes it like sex.”

BULL DURHAM

12. THREE DECADES LATER, PART TWO: The actor who delivered pizza to the hostages in Dog Day Afternoon performed the same service three decades later to the hostages in this film.

13. “Why should you carry other people's bags?”
“Well, that's my business, Madame.”
“That's no business. That's social injustice.”
“That depends on the tip.

14. This movie marked the first time an actress won an Oscar for a role that had previously netted her a Tony.

15. “She just moved through me. My God. I felt her. I can smell her. It's her. It's her. Smell my clothes. It's her. She's all over me. It's her. She's on me. It's her. I felt her. It's her. It is. It's . . . it is . . . it's my baby. It's my baby. She went through my soul.”

16. THREE DECADES LATER, PART THREE: This was the first film in its franchise to receive any kind of Oscar nomination in over 30 years, the first to win an Oscar in over 40 years, and the first to win more than one Oscar ever.

SKYFALL?

17. “I want you to know, Dickie, that if you're the murderer, I'll still love you. I don't think it would be right for us to make love, but I'd still love you.”

MURDER BY DEATH?

18. One of the great ladies of the Broadway stage won Tony awards for playing Nellie Forbush, Maria von Trapp, and the character whose creation forms the central plot for this movie.

19. “I'm the Wienie King! Invented the Texas Wienie! Lay off 'em, you'll live longer.”

20. Ginger Rogers refused to deliver what she considered “anti-American” speeches in this wartime film, which may have played a role in getting the writer and director blacklisted. (The film’s title didn’t help any, either.)

21. “Why wouldn't I tell him that his pure, darling little girl was having a dirty little affair with a married man?”
“You're a vile, sorry little bitch!”

22. The Hollywood censors carefully excised from this film any lines hinting at Papa’s incestuous desires – but, as my favorite actor commented, they could not censor the gleam in his eye.

23. “A real woman could stop you from drinking.”
“It’d have to be a real BIG woman.”

24. If you want to see Lieutenant Colonel Algernon Hawthorne murdered by having every pint of blood methodically drained from his body, this will surely be your only chance. (And, yes, this is the only reference to a certain movie you will find in this game. Sorry.)

25. “Remember, if they ask you anything about your drinking, it's totally acceptable to say ‘I don't recall.’"
“Hey, don't tell me how to lie about my drinking, okay? I know how to lie about my drinking. I've been lying about my drinking my whole life.”

26. This film transferred the events of a 1782 French epistolary novel to a New York City prep school.

27. “Do you actually like haggis?”
“No, I think it's repellent in every way. In fact, I think most Scottish cuisine is based on a dare.”

28. This film is based on a best-seller by a writer who – whether or not she merited an RIP – died very, very recently. (And she was really, really old.)

So, UP THE DOWN STAIRCASE?

29. “I was not cut out to be a worker, I'll tell you right now. I feel physically inadequate. My whole life, I've never . . . I've never been able to lift more than ten times my body weight!”

30. The novel upon which this classic 1942 tear jerker is based does not reveal until the very last line that two major female characters are actually the same person – a surprise ending that was impossible to duplicate on film.

31. “I can tell. I know your type. I know a slap from a slug. “
“Well, OK, OK”
“ I'm not so sure it is. I'm not so sure I care to expose myself to typical instinctive masculine brutality. “
“Oh come now.”
“And it felt not only as though you meant it, but as though you felt you had a right to. I can tell.”
“What've you got back there? Radar equipment?”

32. Robert Redford, James Caan, and Clint Eastwood were offered the title role in this movie but didn’t want it; Sylvester Stallone wanted the title role but wasn’t offered it; it eventually went to a then-unknown actor whom I had previously seen in college in a production of Waiting for Godot.

33. “I am not satisfied with the conduct of this division. Some of you men are under the impression having been at Anzio entitles you not to wear neckties. Well you're wrong. Neckties will be worn in this area! And look at the rest of your appearance. You're a disgrace to the outfit. You're soft! You're sloppy! You're unruly! You're undisciplined! And I never saw anything look so wonderful in my whole life! Thank you all”

34. Craniodiaphyseal dysplasia. That is all.

MASK

35. “Five months ago I was on the subway on my way to work, was sitting on the express same as every morning looking out the window watching the local stops go by in the dark with an empty head and my arms folded, not feeling great, not feeling rotten, just not feeling. And for a minute I couldn't remember, I didn't know, unless I really concentrated, whether it was a Tuesday or a Thursday or a . . . for a minute it could have been any day, Arn. I gotta know what day it is. I gotta know what's the name of the game and what the rules are without anyone else telling me. You gotta own your own days and name 'em, each one of 'em, every one of 'em, or else the years go right by and none of them belong to you. And that ain't just for weekends, kiddo.”

36. This French musical brought together the stars of Singin’ in the Rain and Repulsion. (Repulsion?)

37. “Gotta love crab. In the nick of time too. I couldn't take much more of those coconuts. Coconut milk is a natural laxative. That's something Gilligan never told us.”

38. The actress who portrayed Queen Elizabeth I in The Sea Hawk had previously played the role in this patriotic film.

39. “I don't think you'll be puttin' any more dope in that arm.”
“Smells worse than he do.”

40. This Oscar winner for Best Picture was later turned into a television series starring Jack Palance – but not for long.

41. “God is a mean kid sitting on an anthill with a magnifying glass, and I'm the ant. He could fix my life in five minutes if He wanted to, but he'd rather burn off my feelers and watch me squirm.”

42. The director of this film cast the wife of a more famous director as the wife of an even more famous director.

43. “Maybe they just oughta leave it the way it is. Kind of a shrine to all the bulls**t in the world.”

44. RODGERS AND HAMMERSTEIN ON FILM, PART TWO: Rodgers and Hammerstein wrote nine Broadway musicals. Five were megahits that are still constantly performed and were turned into movies. Three were flops that are rarely, if ever, performed and were never turned into movies. One was a moderate hit that is rarely, if ever, performed but did become a movie – the movie that’s the answer to this question.

If it helps, here are the R&H movies I know of: Carousel, Oklahoma, South Pacific, Flower Drum Song, The King and I, The Sound of Music, and State Fair. I'm missing a couple, and it looks to me like the five megahits are there, but I don't know if the two others are more flops or if one could be the answer to this clue.

45. “Fifty-two red queens and me are telling you . . . you know what we're telling you? It's over! The links, the beautifully conditioned links are smashed. They're smashed as of now because we say so, because we say they are to be smashed. We're busting up the joint, we're tearing out all the wires. We're busting it up so good all the queen's horses and all the queen's men will never put old Raymond back together again. You don't work any more! That's an order. Anybody invites you to a game of solitaire, you tell 'em sorry, buster, the ball game is over.”

46. This was the first of two Martin Scorsese movies to win an Oscar for Costume Design. (Costume Design?)

47. “Your tractors uprooted my tree. Your posse hunted my family. Your gunmen kidnapped my nephew. Your rat insulted my wife. And you shot off my tail. I'm not leaving here without that necktie.”

48. RODGERS AND HAMMERSTEIN ON FILM, PART THREE: Though the main score for this depressing film was written by its star, it also incorporated three songs from the last Rodgers and Hammerstein musical.

49. “That's right. You're in probably the wickedest, most corrupt, most Godless city in America. Sometimes it frightens me. I wonder what the end's going to be. But nothing can harm you if you don't allow it to because nothing in the world, no one in the world, is all bad.”

50. This 1963 comedy was later turned into a sitcom featuring one of the stars of the movie referenced in Clue #44.

51. “I saw your face. It was the face of a depraved, murderous beast. Only two things ever meant anything to you: power and cruelty. You can't feel pity. You can't even feel guilt. You knew they were innocent, but you were crazy to see them hanged. And to make me watch it.”

52. John Williams received the first of his 49 Oscar nominations for this epic piece of trash.

53. “Up until now I've been forgivin' and forgettin' because of the way I was brought up, but I'll tell you one thing. If you ever say another word about me or make another indecent proposal, I'm gonna get that gun of mine, and I'm gonna change you from a rooster to a hen with one shot! And don't think I can't do it!”

For some reason, I"m hearing this in John Wayne's voice.

54. Of all the Oscar winners for Best Picture, this one holds the record for the most uses of the word “f**k.”

55. “I've jumped from a building. I tried to commit suicide. “
“Hey, you've got it all backwards. First you get crippled, then you try to commit suicide!”

56. Winners of the now-defunct Golden Globe award for Best Film Promoting International Understanding included The Search, Broken Arrow, Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing, The Inn of the Sixth Happiness, Lilies of the Field, the film referenced in Clue #40, and this science fiction classic.

THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL?

57. “Here’s to all the dumb chumps and all the crazy broads, past, present, and future, who thirst for knowledge and search for truth . . . who fight for justice and civilize each other . . . and make it so tough for crooks like you . . . and me.”

58. The first feature film written and directed by a 27 year-old actress, it won her awards from both the Directors Guild of Canada and the Writers Guild of Canada. (It also snagged Oscar nominations both for her and for an actress who had won an Oscar 42 years earlier.)

59. “Right. I'm the chosen one. And I choose to be shopping.”

60. The flume ride based on this movie opened at Disneyland on July 17, 1989.

61. “That's a Dexter F. Mettles Memorial Sword!”

62. This 1952 adaptation of an 1820 novel stars two unrelated actors with the same last name.

63. “Pardon me, boy. Is this the Transylvania station?”

YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN? I know it's a Brooks movie.

64. This was the only movie adapted from a novel by D.H. Lawrence to get an Oscar nomination for Best Picture.

65. “The nuns taught us there were two ways through life - the way of nature and the way of grace. You have to choose which one you'll follow.”

66. This wartime film made a star of the very young actress who played the title role – in fact, her first name was changed to match that of the character.

67. “That's what I was, huh? I was your guinea pig, somebody you can test your theories on.”
“And I was just a girl somebody picked out in a bar.”

68. This movie cast Susan Sarandon in a role that had previously played by Spring Byington. (Spring Byington?)

69. “Is this a courting or a donnybrook? Have the good manners not to hit the man until he's your husband and entitled to hit you back.”

70. The actress who is best known – at least around here – for dancing with Sylvester Marcus was the only woman seen at all in this adventure film released two years later. (Okay, so I snuck in another reference after all.)

71. “I never got to say goodbye to my father. There's questions I would've asked him. I would've asked him how he felt about what his company did, if he was conflicted, if he ever had doubts. Or maybe he was every inch the man we remember from the newsreels. I saw young Americans killed by the very weapons I created to defend them and protect them. And I saw that I had become part of a system that is comfortable with zero accountability.”

72. Reportedly, John Huston originally wanted to make this movie with Clark Gable and Humphrey Bogart, but by the time he finally got around to making it, they were both way too dead.

73. “Well, if I was gonna kill you, I wouldn't do a dumb thing like hitting you on the head. First of all, I don't like the fingerprint angle. Of course, I could always wear gloves. Press your hands against the pipe after you were dead and make you look like a suicide. Except it don't seem hardly likely that you'd beat yourself to death with a club. I'd murder you so it didn't look like murder.”

74. Of all the movies ever nominated for the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay, this one was adapted from the oldest source material. By far.

75. “All real Americans love the sting of battle. When you were kids, you all admired the champion marble shooter, the fastest runner, big league ball players, the toughest boxers. Americans love a winner and will not tolerate a loser. Americans play to win all the time.

Normally, I wouldn't pop in at this stage, but I just want to say that the image of John Wayne playing this role may now be stuck in my head forever.

And that laugh I just got made me hear in the correct voice -- it's Dolly Parton in 9 to 5, pretty sure.

THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL?

57. “Here’s to all the dumb chumps and all the crazy broads, past, present, and future, who thirst for knowledge and search for truth . . . who fight for justice and civilize each other . . . and make it so tough for crooks like you . . . and me.”

BORN YESTERDAY

58. The first feature film written and directed by a 27 year-old actress, it won her awards from both the Directors Guild of Canada and the Writers Guild of Canada. (It also snagged Oscar nominations both for her and for an actress who had won an Oscar 42 years earlier.)

AWAY FROM HER?

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER?

THE SHAPE OF THINGS?

LITTLE WOMEN

69. “Is this a courting or a donnybrook? Have the good manners not to hit the man until he's your husband and entitled to hit you back.”

THE QUIET MAN

70. The actress who is best known – at least around here – for dancing with Sylvester Marcus was the only woman seen at all in this adventure film released two years later. (Okay, so I snuck in another reference after all.)

71. “I never got to say goodbye to my father. There's questions I would've asked him. I would've asked him how he felt about what his company did, if he was conflicted, if he ever had doubts. Or maybe he was every inch the man we remember from the newsreels. I saw young Americans killed by the very weapons I created to defend them and protect them. And I saw that I had become part of a system that is comfortable with zero accountability.”

I'd murder you so it didn't look like murder.”
