I did some of these questions just to gauge awareness of some films’ reputations with the Oscars. Hence… > [@Rebo](#): > > 1. Name a “classic” movie that was not nominated for a single Oscar. > **3. King Kong 5** > 2. Star Wars 4 > 3. Citizen Kane 3 > 4. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly 3 > 5. Birth of a Nation 2 > 6. Animal House 1 > 7. Caddyshack 1 > 8. Goodfellas 1 > 9. Monty Python and the Holy Grail 1 > 10. Rambo 1 > 11. Rebel Without A Cause 1 > 12. Roadhouse 1 > 13. The 39 Steps 1 > 14. Three Kings 1 > 15. Vertigo 1 _Vertigo, Rebel Without a Cause_ and yes, even _Rambo: First Blood Part II_ were all nominated for Oscars. And _Goodfellas, Citizen Kane_ and _Star Wars_ were not only all Oscar winners, but even Best Picture nominees. _Birth of a Nation_, of course, was not nominated for an Oscar by virtue of being 13 years too early. 😛 > [@](#): > > 1.

Good Night and Good Luck 1 > 8. Network 1 > 9. The Pianist 1 _Good Night and Good Luck_ was not a multiple Oscar winner–it went 0-for-7. And while _Pulp Fiction_ did win screenplay, that was the only thing it won, so it’s not a multiple winner either. > [@](#): > > 1.

Harrison Ford 1 > 8. Marilyn Monroe 1 > 9. Martin Scorsese 1 > 10. Stanley Kubrick 1 > 11. Thelma Ritter 1 Technically, O’Toole, Hope, and Grant are all Oscar winners, though not competitively (they all received Honorary awards). But Scorsese and Kubrick both won competitive Oscars (the latter won the Oscar for the Visual Effects of _2001_). > [@](#): > > 1.

We’ll see… Thanks, Dolores (and everyone else)–it was fun! ---

Last night a local station ran" Jesse James meets Frankensteins Daughter", if that did not win any awards, how could I be expected to compete. ---

Thanks,\*\* ArchiveGuy\*\* and **Rebo**. The Wolf has 1950 era movies every weekend. He digs the bottom of the barrel but I like watching the environment. They drive through the streets in brand new 1950s cars. There are Edsels, Nashs and strange cars brand spankin new. The movies are kind of weak. A couple weeks ago they showed the classic" Santa Claus vs the Martians." Then watching the neighborhoods is interesting too . It is a time capsule. ---

I can’t find any noms for it, but I just sat through most of Tora! Tora! Tora! with my ex-Navy husband, and AMC is promoting a week of movies that received Oscar nominations, and Rambo is one of them. I know the movie itself would never be nominated, but there must have been a nomination in some category, or else AMC is fudging. I knew I should have gone with King Kong and Edith Head, but I figured only the old-timers would think of them. Can’t explain why I went with Carson for the host, except that being dead (and a good host) makes him more “memorable”. I suck at these, but it’s sure fun to play. ---
