Name That Movie!

[Crackpot]

Not oscarworthy but very entertaining

[MajGenl.Meade]

I feel that the name of this film is on the tip of something or other. Siskel and Ebert's Worst Films of All Time list? LJ's tongue? Gosh darn, if only I'd watched it.

[Lord Jim]

Doesn't look like anybody's going to get this one...

[Crackpot]

Ok last set of clues:

C: Even in the old days he was known as an honest crook.
Dr. P: That's an oxymoron.
C: Gee, you shouldn't oughta said that, Doc.
S: Yeah, leave C alone. He does the best he can.

The title character only has two lines and one scene.

The lead actor while never winning an Oscar has been nominated for two other movies which share a storyline (with each other not the movie in question)

If someone doesn't get it now Dr. P was right you are a bunch of oxen and morons.

[Bicycle Bill]

The key word here, I believe, is "Oscar".  Think, Bill, think......

I'VE GOT IT!!!!

[MajGenl.Meade]

It's the Muppet Movie!

[Crackpot]

Do I even have to say no?

You people are making me lose my faith in Humanity.

This was a box office flop -- almost no one has ever seen it. It was panned by critics and got several razzies. It was came out for a few weeks 26 years ago and was quickly forgotten. That said, if LJ or BigRR pay careful attention to your last set of clues, one of them probably will get it and move us onto another movie that Meade and I will flail at, but at least some others will have a shot.

[Big RR]

Actually Ray's non answer gave me a pretty good idea, but I won't answer because I may be away for a few days and don't want to risk Jim's wrath.

Jim?

CP's clue:

The lead actor while never winning an Oscar has been nominated for two other movies which share a storyline (with each other not the movie in question)

Gave me the likely name of the actor, and after reviewing the clues, (and the non-answer clues) I'm going to go with:



I'm not a big Stallone fan, but I saw this one when it came out because the lady I was dating at the time wanted to see it...

I had pretty much forgotten it; I've never seen it since.

[Crackpot]

You got it. I never understood why it was recieved so badly. It was exactly what it was advertised and it succeeded at it.

[Lord Jim]

Babe, this is the guy behind the guy behind the guy.

This is also a gangster comedy, and it also features one of the actors in Oscar, (in a larger role)

[Crackpot]

I know it.

[Lord Jim]

You do now...

[RayThom]

Babe, this is the guy behind the guy behind the guy.

This one is like stealing candy from a baby:

No Ray, and let me beat you to the punch and let you know that it's also not:

Thanks, LJ, that kind of narrows it down.

Maybe this is the movie in question. Mind you it's purely a guess at this point.

Easy

Oh Brother Where Art Thou?
