Name That Movie!

[Lord Jim]

I thought Strop might actually get this one since he's a fan of the starring actor...

[MajGenl.Meade]

Pork Chop Hill! Nice one, Ray

[Big RR]

That wouldn't be my guess.

[MajGenl.Meade]

I'd hope not because it ain't correct.

[Big RR]

And that's why it wouldn't be my guess.

[Crackpot]

no it is not "pork chop hill"

[Lord Jim]

I know this one, but I'm not eligible, so I guess we're going to have to wait for Big RR to show up...

[Lord Jim]

Okay, its now been a week with no one getting the answer to this, so I propose the adoption of a new protocol..

If after a week, no one has gotten the answer, no matter how many clues are given, the person whose movie it is should have two options:

1. Open it up to the previous quote provider to give the answer. (In this particular case, I happen to know the answer but I'm currently disqualified from answering. I believe Big RR also knows the answer, but he hasn't been around for a few days.)

Or: (and this would be my personal preference)

2. The movie quote giver gives the answer to the name of the film and provides a new movie and quote...

It seems to me that if one of these two things isn't done, this thread will just fall away and I think that would be a shame, since its been the best APT thread we've had around here for a long time....

What Lord Jim said

[Crackpot]

Been on vacation so I haven't been able to keep up on this. I figure one more quote one more day then I'll give another movie if no one gets it.

Maybe it was just his imagination, but whenever he'd pull up that plate, he'd hear a... sucking sound. It started out small, with the first 65 grand. And then it got bigger. Pretty soon it was the only thing he heard. Pretty soon, all he could think about was feeding the hole. He didn't think about when he was a kid. He didn't think about the guys who he started who were still on the up-and-up. He didn't think about the dreams he had with Natalie. He didn't think about those Feds lying there. Most of all, he didn't think about Mona Demarkov, because the way he saw it, she was done. Just another 65 grand for the hole. He fed the hole and he made the hole happy. It was the only thing he knew how to make happy.

Some confusing hints for lead and supporting actors and actresses:
The Fifth Element
Natural Born Killers
Jaws
The Sopranos

[Crackpot]

I give these hints because frankly the next movie I have in mind is even more obscure.

[Big RR]

I had a busy week last week and couldn't post; I believe the movie is Romeo is Bleeding.

[Crackpot]

Wrong poster but you're right.

[MajGenl.Meade]

I don't think you should refer to Big RR as a "wrong poster".

That's my job

[Big RR]

Touche Meade. And you do that job with relish, no doubt.

Thanks Crackpot; the original pster I attached wouldn't post and I just grabbed another without looking at it.

A new quote:

The strange thing about television is that it doesn't *tell* you everything. It *shows* you everything about life for nothing, but the true mysteries remain. Perhaps it's in the nature of television. Just waves in space.

NETWORK

[Big RR]

No, not Network

[Lord Jim]

Underrated film...one of my favorites...

I remember the reviews at the time left it ripped and torn to shreds...

[Big RR]

Jim--Wasn't Network nominated for best picture (and in a year where it was 1 of only 5 movies, not like now when we need more and more nominees). I think Peter Finch and Faye Dunaway also won for best actor and actress. Did it really get bad reviews?

It's one of my favorites also.

[MajGenl.Meade]

The Jim Carey movie..... the Truman Show?
