Caddyshack

Ghostbusters, the first movie I ever saw twice at the theater (the second time at a 99-cent theater, but still), though I'm a huge fan of Stripes and Caddyshack too.

Not a movie, but I *LOVED* his supercilious murderer Joey Heric on "The Practice," but for a movie I liked Star Trek III: The Search for Spock.

Favorite hawt chick in a David Lynch film?

Virginia Madsen as Princess Irulan in Dune, no contest.

Favorite Virginia Madsen role other than the above.

Spoiler:

I loved her in Creator

[Mazra]

Madeline in Electric Dreams. Virginia Madsen was radiant in that.

Favorite movie where music is a major theme?

Extra credit:

Favorite movie other than Electric Dreams that had music from Bach?

Edit: In Electric Dreams it was Bach's Minuet in G.

[Doodlebug Anklebiter]

But I don't remember if it's got Bach in it.

Hmm, I guess not. But Wendy Carlos did do a whole series of albums called Switched-On Bach!

Anyway...

By other role, Im assuming you mean other than Clockwork Orange.

Kesslee in Tank Girl.

Favorite pre 2000's comic book movie?

[Jason Nelson]

Too close to call between the original Superman and Batman Forever (yes, it was Schumacher dialed up, but it was dialed up JUUUUUSSSSSTTTT to the edge of camp-crazy... plus, yknow, DREW BARRYMORE as the delicious Sugar... sadly, it inspired them to dial it up to a million in the awful next Bat-movie).

Favorite Val Kilmer movie other than the above?

[Mazra]

Willow - No contest!

Favorite movie other than Willow that a Dwarf was the star or stars?

My Pick Would Be <drum roll>:

Time Bandits

[Jason Nelson]

Return of the Jedi with Kenny Baker as R2-D2.

If that's a cheat and you have to see them on screen (or if you just say Kenny Baker wasn't *really* a "star" in those movies), I was gonna say there's no school like the old school and pick The Wizard of Oz, but I think I'll go with Legend instead, even if it's 90% due to Tim Curry's awesomeness and 10% due to Mia Sara's pimptacular dress!

Favorite animated (including CGI) swords & sorcerery-flavored film?

[TheWhiteknife]

Does Disney's Robin Hood count? Because since Ive been a toddler, I bet Ive seen that movie a hundred times, especially since I hooked my daughter on it.

Favorite American football movie? (inspired by Lady Cluck's escape from the archery tournament. Our favorite part.)

[Comrade Anklebiter]

Every time the Sheriff of Nottingham extorts that last coin from the dormice at the church, I rededicate myself to the cause of international proletarian socialist revolution.

And then I cry.

Vive le Galt!

[Jason Nelson]

If we're including Lady Cluck's performance in Robin Hood, then I'm invoking Flash Gordon's epic throne room football game in (of course) Flash Gordon!

Favorite BRIAN BLESSED role other than the above?

[Mazra]

Augustus Ceasar in I, Claudius

What is the best non-Monty Python pathfinderish comedy?

[feytharn]

Astrópía

Favorite movie from iceland?

[Doodlebug Anklebiter]

I don't know if I've ever seen an Icelandic film. Hmmm....

[Mazra]

They make films in Iceland?

[Doodlebug Anklebiter]

Apparently, they do.

The closest I can come up with is Dancer in the Dark because it starred Bjork.

[Kajehase]

But that was made in my hometown, Doodlebug! (Björk enjoyed riding through town on a bicycle when she was taking a break from not getting along with Lars von Trier.)

Best Icelandic movie I've seen is the Herring Western Í skugga hrafnsins (Shadow of the Raven).

Favourite movie based on a story that was written down more than 500 years ago?

[feytharn]

Will do ;-), although I heartily recommend The Juniper Tree, Beowulf & Grendel and the 'Raven Triology'

[Mazra]

Ulysses (1954) with Kirk Douglas, from Homer's Odyssey

This question has come up before, so this is for someone who hasn't answered this question before:

Favorite Kirk Douglas movie, and if different favorite role?

[Charles Scholz]

My favorite movie starring Kirk Douglas is The Final Countdown.
But my favorite character is Archie Long from Tough Guys.

Favorite movie where the star is over 65 years old.

[Kajehase]

I was gonna say Emile, but Ian McKellen was 64 when he did that, so... Thinking cap on.

I love The Final Countdown! I don't know if it's a guilty pleasure or a lost classic, but count me in as a fan. :)

Well, I'm not sure if you'd call him *THE* star, but I'm totally down for the cause with Christopher Lee in the LotR movies.

If you're looking for someone who's more like the headlining star of a movie, I'd say The Rock is definitely a fine guilty pleasure starring Sean Connery (I really enjoyed Finding Forrester as well).

Favorite movie about a child prodigy?
