It’s from a while back, but I’m not sure how far back. I don’t remember who was in it, or the characters, except there was a man and a woman. It was set someplace, and they did some things. I forget how it ends. Any ideas? ---

_Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure._ Oh wait. A woman? Nope, sorry, have no idea. ---

Yeah, I remember that one. Whatshisname was in it, wasn’t he? Yeah man, that was awsome! ---

There have, according to IMDB, been ten movies called It. So we have narrowed it down to that. Was it comedy, horror, or sci-fi? ---

Why bother? I think it’s one of the most over rated movies of that kind that I have ever seen. If you’d started this thread in the Pit I could tell you what a loser you are for liking it. ---

You’re thinking of _The Late Show_ with Art Carney. Great movie; thanks for reminding me of it! (Wish I could find [more than an excerpt](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFTtAop2DoY) on Youtube.) ---

Was there a scene set in some sort of vehicle? And at one point one of the characters quips something… yeah, I think I know that one. ---

Get the DVD of the director’s cut with commentaries. It explains most the confusing stuff. ---

Is it the one where the car won’t start with the bad guys quickly approaching? I think I saw that one. ---

I can’t believe you liked it. The original French/Japanese/German/Korean version was better and more cerebral. Hollywood really dumbed down the American version. ---
