Name That Movie!

[Bicycle Bill]

Sorry, no.  But most of the guesses have been movies that came out around the same time this movie was filmed.

One more clue to hold you for today:

"Tell the idiot I agree."
(aside — "He agrees.")
"The choice of weapons is yours.  Do you wish to use pistols, sabers, or rapiers?"
"Balloons."
"Balloons?"
"And blunderbusses."

Now that was a magnificent guess.

With a clue like this it will be unwittingly impossible to blow it.

Thanks Big RR.

Ray's a real movie title guessing machine...

Ray's a real movie title guessing machine...

How can I not be -- look at all the clues that are given.

I'm now waiting to find out if my last educated guess is a winner.

[Crackpot]

What the waving finger of shame?

[Lord Jim]

Your image disappeared Ray...

And was replaced by the finger waving "shame on you" image...

(Which in this particular case seems to have some poetic justice... )

[Bicycle Bill]

I go off to work for ten hours, sure that when I got back someone would have gotten this.  Silly me!!

One more clue:  This was a British film but they did do a version for the American market.  The American version features appearances by Red Skelton (in what would become his final film appearance) as a caveman, a Roman slave, a medieval inventor, an early rocketeer, and a modern-day traveler.

The 1000 year old man?

[MajGenl.Meade]

I think Orson Cart played Darth Vader but some other dude did the voiceover

[Lord Jim]

I'm not eligible for this one; Big RR it looks to me like you might as well take it...

Apparently the title of this magnificent movie is just flying over everybody elses head...

History of the World (pick your part)?
Doubtful.

[Big RR]

OK, my guess--Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines (sorry, I couldn't link an image).

[Bicycle Bill]

And Big RR has it (finally!)....
The character who was "better known as a villain in a major motion-picture franchise; but we never heard his own voice as almost all of his lines in that film were dubbed by someone else" is none other than Gert Fröbe, who played arch-criminal Auric Goldfinger in one of the greatest 007 movies of all time, "Goldfinger".

Give us a good one, RR.

[Big RR]

OK, changing gears a bit:

This is like some fuckin' movie. Friends since second grade, fuckin' like THIS [crosses fingers], and then one of us gets himself in potentially BIG trouble, and now we've gotta deal with it; we've got to test our loyalty against ALL odds. It's kind of... exciting. I feel like... Chuck Norris, y'know?

Hints: From the mid-80s, this move was based on a true incident, but I imagine it did take some liberties.

It contains one of the most over the top crazy characters you'll ever see (and he did not say this line), played by a guy who has specialized in such roles.

It did OK in the box office, but was a critic's favorite, and later became a bit of a cult classic.

And for Jim, another movie in which Keane Reeves turned in a pretty good performance.

Dennis Hopper?

[Big RR]

Is that the actor or the film?

I can say that the film is not called Dennis Hopper, but I din't want to give anymore away.

[Crackpot]

Over the top crazy character = Dennis Hopper at least in the 80's.

[Big RR]

True--he was far less crazy in Easy Rider in the 70s.

[MajGenl.Meade]

Ray's busy brushing his teeth from thinking about some 1977 lamb, so I'm posting for him

[Big RR]

Nope.
