Name That Movie!

[Scooter]

If this doesn't give it away...

-- I did not lift my skirt, it TWIRLED UP! You only remember the bad stuff, don't you? What about the big band that I got to play at that party? Do you remember that? No! You only remembered that my skirt accidentally TWIRLED UP!

-- And you weren't wearing any underwear.

No. But this film is also about someone who has had what most people would see as a privileged life, but it had a darker side that she still struggles to overcome, as she tries to rebuild a life for herself on her own terms, with mixed results.

Sounds a bundle of laughs.

[Lord Jim]

That last quote jogged my memory...

I actually think I may have seen this one...

I think it was a movie with Meryl Streep and Shirley McLaine where they played mother and daughter, but I cannot for the life of me remember the title...

Well since we went through the weekend, I'll pout my guess--Postcards from the Edge.

[MajGenl.Meade]

Well pouted!

I didn't watch this movie because I don't like U2

[Big RR]

Wel when I pout an answer, I always well pout it.

[Scooter]

And indeed the answer is



Jim was right there, but not quite. I hope I didn't throw you off with my answer about shootouts. Because she did fire a gun at Dennis Quaid, but they were blanks.

OK, a new one:

Fluoridation is the most monstrously conceived and dangerous communist plot we have ever had to face.

Well, of course the only movie I'd seen of the last 3 weeks worth of entities would be answered in 3 minutes. The prior one that I'd seen (A clockwork orange) was answered in 19 minutes. Apparently I haven't seen enough obscure movies, as the ones that take days to answer generally I've never even HEARD of.

[Big RR]

And BB has it--congratulations!

dales has it; you may post the next quotation, sir.

You're gonna take the rap and play along. You're gonna make every exact move I tell you. If you don't, I'll kill you. And I'll promise you one thing: it won't be quick. I'll break you first. You won't be able to answer a telephone or open a door without thinking, 'This is it.' And it when it comes, it still won't be quick. And it won't be pretty. You can take your choice.

1947 Film Noir

[Lord Jim]

I got this one...

And I'm going to take it because I haven't done one for awhile...



I'm a big Bob Mitchum fan...

[dales]

Jim.....that is one of my favorite Noirs.

Jane Greer plays an excellent femme fatale.

Michum great as always and don't want to take anything away from the Kirk Douglas character, either.

I think this is a pretty easy one:

I ain't your partner. I ain't your neighbor, your brother, or your friend. I'm your total stranger.

It ain't a chick flick....
