Test Your Movie Knowledge!: Part VII

[Ilsa_Lund]

The fun never stops. Once on threadspotting and 20 pages later: Time for

Part VII


Here we will follow the same format as the first six.


TYMK: I

TYMK: II

TYMK: III

TYMK: IV

TYMK: V

TYMK: VI

I am sorry I am wussing out on providing the hangers from the first six, but it is too much. Volunteers, however, are welcome () and you are encouraged to bring you own hangers.


I am starting the action with some of mine.


I_L_1 "Everything I needed to know about the importance of digits, I learned from Holly Hunter"

I_L_2 "Everything I needed to know about murder, I learned from Michael Gambon"

[Governor Quinn]

My unanswered questions:

GQ 1- All I need to know about political corruption, I learned from Martin Mull.

GQ 2- All I need to know about rock music, I learned from Gena Rowlands.

GQ 3- All I need to know about surviving car wrecks, I learned from Glenn Ford.

GQ 4- All I need to know about film history, I learned from Donald O'Connor.

GQ 5- All I need to know about mutiny, I learned from Orson Welles.

GQ 6- All I need to know about beheading, I learned from Orson Welles.

GQ 7- All I need to know about sewers, I learned from Joseph Cotton.

(GQ 8 and 9 answered correctly)

GQ 10- All I need to know about civil war, I learned from Richard Burton.

[Labdad]

GQ 3- All I need to know about surviving car wrecks, I learned from Glenn Ford. Follow the Sun (the Ben Hogan story)
GQ 7- All I need to know about sewers, I learned from Joseph Cotton. The Third Man

[Governor Quinn]

Correct on both counts, Labdad.

[St_Ides]

SI 1 - All I need to know about shotgunning beers, I learned from Farrel Mitchner

SI 2 - All I need to know about using chewing gum to patch rockets I learned from Bill Campbell

[Ellis Dee]

Inspired by St_Ides:

LSD1: All I know about shotgunning beers I learned from Ethan Hawke

[Ellis Dee]

And here's a WAG:

SI 2 - All I need to know about using chewing gum to patch rockets I learned from Bill Campbell
Apollo 13

[Horseflesh]

I_L_1 = The Piano (I guessed that one in a previous thread, remember?)

HF_1: "Everything I needed to know about despising Christmas, I learned from Boris Karloff."

HF_2: "Everything I needed to know about shooting my eye out, I learned from Peter Billingsley."

HF_3: "Everything I needed to know about stepping quietly, I learned from Kevin Bacon." (No, it's not Footloose)

[TeaElle]

HF_2: A Christmas Story (shooting eye out/Peter Billingsley)

HF_3: Hollow Man? (stepping quietly/Kevin Bacon)

Here are my outstanding entries from the previous thread, some restated and all renumbered. Since they were stumping people, I added second parts to each clue.

TE1: Everything I needed to know about female anatomy and sexual response I learned from Pauline Collins.

TE2: Everything I needed to know about dealing with unwanted rodents and hiding in totally obvious places I learned from Bridget Fonda

TE3: Everything I needed to know about being a snooty receptionist and giving subtle applause I learned from Lucy Lee Flippin

TE4: Everything I needed to know about stylish accessorizing and the battery I learned from John Candy

TE5: Everything I needed to know about unbeatable football defense and adoration of a much older man I learned from Mariel Hemingway

[Horseflesh]

You got HF_2 (A Christmas Story) correct but not HF_3, TeaElle. Kevin Bacon stepping quietly is a key survival technique throughout the movie I'm thinking of (but Hollow Man was a good guess).

TE5 = Star80? Personal Best?

[Labdad]

HF_3: "Everything I needed to know about stepping quietly, I learned from Kevin Bacon." (No, it's not Footloose) Tremors?

[Ilsa_Lund]

TE4: Everything I needed to know about stylish accessorizing and the battery I learned from John Candy

Planes, Trains and Automobiles.

TE5: Everything I needed to know about unbeatable football defense and adoration of a much older man I learned from Mariel Hemingway

Manhattan.

[Ilsa_Lund]

I_L_3 "Everything I needed to know about liverwurst and chicken, I learned from Walter Matthau"

[Horseflesh]

HF_3 is indeed Tremors.

HF_4: "Everything I needed to know about things that are "finger-lickin' good", I learned from Bill Paxton."

HF_5: "Everything I need to know about flying a Harrier jet, I learned from Arnold Schwarzenegger."

[TeaElle]

TE4 is not "Planes, Trains and Automobiles"
TE5 is [i]not[/] "Star 80" "Personal Best" or "Manhattan"

----------

HF_1: How The Grinch Stole Christmas (despising/Boris Karloff)
HF_4: Is that Weird Science? (finger-lickin' good/Bill Paxton)
HF_5: Undoubtedly True Lies (Harrier/Ah-nuld)

[Sublight]

I've been banging my head against the John Candy one for a week now, so this is my last guess, Teaelle.


TE4: Everything I needed to know about stylish accessorizing and the battery I learned from John Candy

Is it Armed and Dangerous?

[Sublight]

I guess my questions from the last quiz are beyond hope.

Here are a couple of new ones that maybe won't be so obscure.

Sub 1: Everything I need to know about using pocket change, I learned from John Candy.

Sub 2: Everything I need to know about push-ups, I learned from Christopher Walken

[Sublight]

Ack, I posted too soon!

Here are the answers to my questions that were left over from the previous quiz.

SPOILER:

Sub_2: Everything I need to know about going to the moon I learned from James Caan
Countdown

Sub_3: Everything I need to know identifying ninjas who are half-Chinese I learned from Joan Chen
The Hunted

Sub5: Everything I need to know about having lesbian sex with Anne Heche, I learned from Joan Chen. And then I rewound it a few times just to make sure I'd learned it thoroughly.
The Wild Side

[Labdad]

A very wild guess:

GQ 10- All I need to know about civil war, I learned from Richard Burton. The Comedians?

[TeaElle]

Sublight, it ain't "Armed and Dangerous."

I suppose it might help if I added this.

TE4: Everything I needed to know about stylish accessorizing and the battery I learned from John Candy, and in that same flick, Tovah Feldshuh taught me everything I needed to know about places to be when dying.

[Chefguy]

[b]CG-3: Everything I needed to know about capturing Germans, I learned from Peter Berg and Gary Sinise.[\b]

This one is a holdover from the last thread. I'll add Kevin Dillon to the cast and see if anyone can come up with it.

CG-1 (for this thread): Everything I needed to know about jazz musicians, I learned from Chet Baker.

[Horseflesh]

TeaElle is correct on HF_1 and HF_5, but no on HF_4.

I'll redo the clue for HF_4, but I just loved the way he delivered his "finger-lickin' good" line in the movie.

HF_4: "Everything I needed to know about preferring my victims clean shaven, I learned from Bill Paxton."

Here's a different clue for a movie that was never guessed previously:

HF_6: "Everything I needed to know about adopting a gay teenager, I learned from Harvey Fierstein."

HF_7: "Everything I needed to know about the 13th apostle, I learned from Chris Rock."

[bibliophile]

HF_7: "Everything I needed to know about the 13th apostle, I learned from Chris Rock."
Dogma

LSD1: All I know about shotgunning beers I learned from Ethan Hawke
Reality Bites

[The Ryan]

SI 2 Rocketeer

HF_5 True Lies

[Governor Quinn]

Good guess, but wrong.

(Hint: Another member of the cast was listed as the actor clue for one of my other selections.)

[Ellis Dee]

HF_7: "Everything I needed to know about the 13th apostle, I learned from Chris Rock."
Dogma

(Can't believe I didn't know it from whatever other clue you gave. What was the other clue?)

Reality Bites

I'll accept that. I was actually thinking of Tape, but Reality Bites fits as well.

The Secret Agent.

Everything I ever learned about spiral staircases, I learned from Marlene Dietrich.

Everything I ever learned about panties, I learned from Jimmy Stewart.

Everything I ever learned about trenchcoats, I learned from Cloris Leachman.

Everything I ever learned about answering machines, I learned from Ralph Meeker.

Everything I ever learned about zippers, I learned from Kevin Costner.

Everything I ever learned about eggs, I learned from Paul Newman.

Panties would be Anatomy of a Murder. Eggs would be Cool Hand Luke

[Labdad]

Oh, and Cloris Leachman in a trench coat would be Kiss Me Deadly.

[lissener]

Very good! Three for three!

[Dolores Reborn]

HF_1: "Everything I needed to know about despising Christmas, I learned from Boris Karloff."

That would be How the Grinch Stole Christmas.

DC1 - Everything I needed to know about football scabs I learned from Keanu Reeves.

[Ilsa_Lund]

Psst... lissener

Clues need to be like: lis_1 "Everything panties, Stewart"

[Labdad]

You know, I forgot about that funky reel-to-reel answering machine Mike Hammer (Ralph Meeker) had in Kiss Me Deadly, so we can scratch another unnumbered lissener clue off the list.

[lissener]

Labdad, are you Googling? C'mon, fess up. Four for four!

[gossamer]

The Replacements

[Labdad]

Not googling. Truth to tell, I didn't notice Meeker in there, I was too busy thinking about Cloris Leachman in that trench coat. Then, after Ilsa gave you direction on how to list your clues, I went back and reread them. That's when I realized you'd pulled two from Kiss Me Deadly.

[Ilsa_Lund]

I_L_5 "Everythin I needed to know about proper facial care and hygiene, I learned from Peter Lorre"

[TeaElle]

Everything I ever learned about eggs, I learned from Paul Newman -- Cool Hand Luke

[Chefguy]

CG-2: Everything I needed to know about rooster immitations, I learned from Emil Jannings.

[Labdad]

Hmm - I_L_5 could be The Face Behind the Mask, but sometime I think I'm the only one who ever saw that film!

[lissener]

Chef, dat's Der Blaue Engel.

[Ilsa_Lund]

If The Face Behind the Mask is the one with "My face, my face." then that's it.

[lissener]

I_L_5 is Arsenic and Old Lace

[lissener]

Lis_8 I learned everything I know about Boris Karloff from Raymond Massey

Lis_9 I learned everything I want to know about O Brother Where Art Thou from Joel McCrea.

Lis_10 I learned everything I know about smoking marijuana from Robert Powell.

Lis_11 I learned everything I know about linen table cloths from Gregory Peck.

Lis_12 I learned everything I know about swimming from Rita Hayworth.

Lis_13 I learned everything I know about coffee Gloria Graham.

Lis_14 I learned everything I know about snakes from Henry Fonda.

[lissener]

No, wait; I learned everything I know about swimming from Shelley Winters, not Rita Hayworth. Extra points to get both right . . .

[Labdad]

Lis_9 is Sullivan's Travels - I'll have to think about the rest for a bit

[Ilsa_Lund]

Lis_8 The Old Dark House?
Lis_11 To kill a Mockingbird?
Lis_12 The Swimmer?
Lis_14 Grapes of Wrath?

[lissener]

Oooh, 0 for 4, Ilsa. One more for Labdad.

[lissener]

Lis_15 I learned everything I know about business from Charles Laughton.
