Name That Movie!

[MajGenl.Meade]

Tom Cruise hasn't made this one yet but it could be an alternate title:



Also we must not forget that FD and SM starred in the subject movie AND in The Thomas Crown Affair but didn't actually have one. Given the presence of Ali on the set of the latter, that's hardly surprising.

[Lord Jim]

And FD and WH also starred in Network...

A movie in which they had an on-screen affair, but I don't think they had a real one...

And FA, who had a supporting role in this film, also starred in The Gay Divorcee, though I don't believe he actually was...

[Big RR]

And RC starred in a TV Series as a doctor, but he only played one on TV.

[Lord Jim]

And OS played a good guy in the movie, but is a very very bad guy in real life...

Kappy: Fire started, 81st floor, storage room. This is a bad one. Smoke is so thick we can't tell how far it's spread.

Ain't that the truth:

That's a "no" to you, Longray

Personally, I think Tombstone was a marginally better film then Wyatt Earp, * * * but I also think Dennis Quaid was a much better Doc Holiday than Val Kilmer...

Kilmer was okay in the role, but just too much of a "pretty boy" to really capture the intensity of Doc, and just not believable as someone dealing with a serious illness... (Quaid lost 40 pounds to give his portrayal it's gaunt, frail authenticity)

But who got the invite to Doc Holidays in Tombstone?

TOMBSTONE — Val Kilmer, who famously played Doc Holliday in the movie "Tombstone," is making plans to visit the Arizona Old West town this summer as part of a festival that pays tribute to the gunfighter.

Not even a mention of that Quaid character.

Dats - a toweringly close guess!

Maybe we need a new rule that after X time, the clue giver can declare one of the smart alecks the winner when it is clear they know the answer, hopefully picking the most smart alecky of the bunch!

I'm with you on that. Sometimes the "guesses" get very odd and far out -- more ludicrous than serious. Honestly, it takes all the fizz out of the soda.

Edited at Big RR's suggestion.............

Is it X time yet?

Here's a final clue. The movie was about a very big Towering building that turned into an Inferno.

Not this one:


English title: My Brilliant Korea

[Big RR]

Meade--you have to be clearer, those cryptic clues just don't work.

[Lord Jim]

Okay, I had this after the first clue, and since apparently nobody else is going to take it:

I'm on this new diet. Well, I don't eat anything and when I feel like I'm about to faint I eat a cube of cheese. I'm just one stomach flu away from my goal weight.

Non-quote clue: Given what I've posted around here, this is very much NOT the type of movie you would expect me to watch, but I found myself recently being forced into watching it. (It turned out to be a little less completely awful then I expected.)
