I checked on Google, and Wizard of Oz is definitely correct, unless somebody else used it later. Of course, it was also released in 1939, so technically it doesn’t count. Though it was rereleased into theaters in 1999 IIRC. Cisco, it’s your game, you make the call. ---

Whoops, I was confused because I didn’t realize that **thinksnow’s** “Movie, What Movie?” had been answered. I don’t know how I missed that (BTW, Top Secret is a _great_ movie, I definately should’ve known that one.) **Shibb** , you’re up. **Elvis** ’s re-release clause works for me 😃 ---

Damnit, maybe **Shibb** isn’t up. Talk about a short term memory…We’re on “Never before has a man done so much with so little,” right? Is it Braveheart? ---

**Robin Hood…** is “The legend had it coming…”, I’m not sure what the “so much with so little” is but it sounds familiar. Is it porn? 🙂 ---

lol . . . no, I don’t follow porn enough for it to be familiar to me there . . . since I just got back from a bar I’m gonna pretend my next guess is “Strange Brew” . . . as valid guesses though can I say “My Cousin Vinny” and “K-Pax” damn that sounds familiar . . . ---

OK. I’m about to leave for work, so I checked on my copy of L.A. Confidential to confirm my answer and it is correct. So, my offering will be a little harder. Are you eating it or is it eating you ? ---

IMDB tells me “Blair Witch” is correct. Next: “On every street in every city, there’s a nobody who dreams of being a somebody.” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/game-guess-the-movie-by-its-tagline/85993.md?page=6) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/game-guess-the-movie-by-its-tagline/85993.md?page=8)
