Wow. I'm drawing a blank.
All I can think of is Deathtrap (one of the compoundmates was watching it the other day) and, although enjoyable, that can't be the best movie he was in. It can't! But it's my answer.
[facepalm]
I change my answer.
This is one of my all-time favorite movie scenes.
e.e. cummings gets you laid.
Gosford Park was the shiznit, son! You'd better watch out, upper class twits!
Favourite movie about the production of a play, opera, or concert?
Who has an answer that hasn't been mentioned yet?

Heh. I'd've answered This Is Spinal Tap, but the concert was only a small part of it, and it wasn't a real concert anyway. Luckily, the Goblin Chairman beat me to it.

In the Bleak Midwinter. A great, sadly almost unknown movie.
Favorite movie directed by Kenneth Brannagh that isn't a Shakespeare adaption?
Sleuth
Favourite movie based on a play or novel written by a Nobel literature prize winner?

But worth a link, methinks.

Although I won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1956, my favorite film based on the work of another Nobel Laureate is, of course,
But worth a link, methinks.
Thank you, Comrade Chairgoblin!
{Thank you, Hitdice and wikipedia!)
But I insist that everybody indulge in the fun of looking up the list and seeing if there's any other films you'd like to propose. No question for now.
But worth a link, methinks.Thank you, Comrade Chairgoblin!
No, thank you! I hadn't seen that in years. I think I lost about a pint of tears I was laughing so hard.
Hee hee!

I'm a fan of Moulin Rouge!
Unless you count the "floor show" during the Rocky Horror Picture Show as the production of a concert, in which case it wins for sheer epic crazy awesomeness. :)
Hmmm. Nobody wants to indulge in the pleasures of looking stuff up, huh?
Fine. Favorite Alec Guinness role that isn't set in outer space?

It is a tie between two roles and three movies:
1: Professor Marcus from Ladykillers
2: Colonel Nicholson from The Bridge on the River Kwai
3: Almost the whole 'd'Ascoyne' Family in 'Kind Hearts and Coronets' (can't count as one roll, but the movie is awesome enough deserve mentioning)
Favorite William Holden Movie?

Favourite Sidney Lumet-directed movie?

Thread Jack: For the rest of the week, you can only give a quote and the next person has to give the movie it came from as well as the character and actor who said it. Also, put 1-5 stars at the end, saying how hard the quote may be to identify.
Example: "Iv'e got a bad feeling about this." *
Answer: Star Wars, Luke Skywalker, Mark Hamil.

"You did it for her, you can do it for me. Play it." *

Casablanca, Rick, Bogie.
Quote: "He fixes the cable?" **
"Someone get me a f---ing wiener before I die." *****
Seeing how it's been 48 hours, I cheated.
Whaddaya know, it's from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
The Movie Thread, I am disappointed in you. (You, too, Doodlebug!)
"Hey, look, Mister, we serve hard drinks in here for men who want to get drunk fast and we don't need any characters around to give the joint atmosphere, is that clear?"

That sounds like Nick the bartender (played by Sheldon Leonard - I had to look THAT up) in It's a Wonderful Life, during the "Pottersville" section of the movie.
How about:
"'Paramount Pictures presents The Freak. This movie won't just scare you, it will f&@@ you up for life!' I want to know how the f$&* the word f+@# gets in the New York f#~!ing Times!"
You are correct, sir! I have no idea who's complaining about cursing in the Times.

This was a nice idea, but, unfortunately, not terribly succesful.

I tried but many of them sadly I didnt get. Out of respect for the game I would not google them either. Also the side convos makes it hard to place the question and qoute. Maybe we need a new rule if you are not asking a question or giving an answer you have to say so in your post?

Sadly, I agree. I guess there are too many quotes out there, and not enough people who can remember them.
I guess I cheated on the Big Lebowski one, because I've never seen that movie and know almost nothing about it, other than that it involves bowling and has Jeff Bridges in it as "The Dude."
Google away, says I!
Drucker: Crazy people.
Woman: "Do you want to come up for coffee?"
Man: "I don't drink coffee."
Woman: "I haven't got any."
Brassed Off. Ewan MacGregor and someone, about to have hawt proletarian sex.
"You've got city boy hands, XXXXX. You been countin' money all your life."
Well, it's not the Godfather, part 2.

Sean Penn - Harvey Milk
Michael Sheen - Tony Blair, Brian Clough
Helen Mirren - Elizabeth II
Meryl Streep - Margaret Thatcher
Favourite movie set during the 1970s but produced after 1990?
Stoned Age -- I think I liked it better than Detroit Rock City (DRC had a more coherent plot overall, which might be why SA edged it out).
Favorite movie scene featuring a BeeGees song?

I think Forbidden Planet and The Poseidon Adventure are the only movies I've seen him in that weren't comedies, so I'll call it a tie between the two of them by default. That man was on a LOT of TV shows, though, and I mean a metric crapton of basically every significant series of the 60s and 70s from Rawhide to S.W.A.T. to the Love Boat. The man was working hard, no doubt about it.
Favorite space/aliens movie from the 1950s?
Does Cowboys and Aliens count? Because it was pretty comedic. And pretty awesome.
Quantum of Solace -- worst James Bond movie since Moonraker?

Nope. That dishonor belongs to the Pierce Brosnan one with Denise Richards as scientist Christmas Jones. Not even sure of the title, but I think it was The World Is Not Enough.
Favorite Bond movie for each Bond actor?
Sean Conory - Goldfinger
George Lazenby - On Her Majesty's Secret Service
Roger Moore - The Man with the Golden Gun
Timothy Dalton - The Living Daylights
Pierce Brosnan- Tomorrow Never Dies
Daniel Craig - Casino Royale
Favorite movie where a Bond actor played a sensitive new age guy? (MOVIE I said, Remington Steele doesn't count!)
