The spanish version of “To Sir **Rhosis** , With Love” was called “To **Cervaise** , With Love”

And there’s “ **Cervaise** ”, the early life of Miguel de **Cervaise** , author of “Don Quixote” … which reminds me of the stage play with Scott Bakula [sub]_runs away_[/sub]

Oh, and for Shakespeare, I’d say “**[Hamlet](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/member.php?userid=4359)**”, but I think that’s just a gimme…

And I forgot to mention the well-known 80s teen movie, “ **Fenris** Bueller’s Day Off”

“ **Gangster Octopus** sy”  
“The **Spree** Who Loved Me”  
“From Russia, With **lieu** ”

I know I’ve got to be in **something**.

Also, while not a movie or play, Beatles is art, right?

'cause of their huge hit song, “ **Lucyindisguise** with diamonds”.

And of course, who could forget, \*\* Art Vandelay, Archi… aw hell I got nothing.\*\*. Sorry dude.

Well, you’re clearly in the Wagner music drama “ **Tristan** und Isolde”.

I think you were also featured in a more recent movie: “ **Tristan** d and Deliver”

Weirdest. Vanity search result. Ever.

On the other hand, I have been enjoying the classic Disney film, _ **Bosda Chi-tty Bang Bang** _…

You are perhaps thinking of [The Belly of Art Vandelay, Architect](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092637/)?

Modesty forbids any comment on my starring role in [Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex\* But Were Too Afraid of Askance](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068555/).
