[smilergrogan]

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

"They're .60 for medium and .75 for large."
"Reckon I'll have me some of the big 'uns."

Me and Mom were decorating the tree, waiting for Dad to come home from work. A couple hours went by. Dad wasn't home. So Mom called the office. No answer. Christmas Day came and went, and still nothing. So the police began a search. Four or five days went by. Neither one of us could eat or sleep. Everything was falling apart. It was snowing outside. The house was freezing, so I went to try to light up the fire. That's when I noticed the smell. The firemen came and broke through the chimney top. And me and Mom were expecting them to pull out a dead cat or a bird. And instead they pulled out my father. He was dressed in a Santa Claus suit. He'd been climbing down the chimney... his arms loaded with presents. He was gonna surprise us. He slipped and broke his neck. He died instantly. And that's how I found out there was no Santa Claus."

B29. "Doctor, question that's always bothered me and a lot of people: Mayflower, combined with Philadelphia - a no-brainer, right? Cause this is where the Mayflower landed. Not so. It turns out Columbus actually set foot somewhere down in the West Indies. Little known fact."

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

Not now.

Not ever.

NEVER!!

A37. In 1974 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that this suggestively titled 1971 film was "not patently offensive"

This is Carnal Knowledge which may be the only mainstream film that the Supreme Court expressly ruled was not obscene, after a Georgia court convicted a theater owner of obscenity for showing it. I remember this one from my law school days.
