NOT AN ENTRY - One of the funniest lines never (OK, rarely) heard was from Stripes. Bill Murry, talking about the rescue trip says " It’s Czechoslovakia. It’s like going into Wisconsin." Well, if you saw it in the theaters, everyone was laughing so much at that, they missed Harold Ramus saying “Well I got the shit kicked out of me in Wisconsin once.” ---

_3. It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown_ Don’t know as I’d call this a movie; it was a half-hour TV special. But IMDb calls it a TV movie with a 25-minute run time, so what do I know? I guess even the much-maligned _Star Wars Christmas Special_ could be considered a movie then. And the ref says, “Play on…” **Halloween Movies for Kids** 1. The Nightmare Before Christmas 2.
