Okay, Folks, time for pat three of Test Your Movie Knowledge.
The rules for this trivia game can be found at the two previous threads: Test your Movie Knowledge! Test Your Movie Knowledge: Part II
Let’s stick with an abbreviated numbering system, IL_1, etc.
Previous participants can bring in any hangers they want solved, or were particularly proud of.
IL_1 “Everything I needed to know about conducting an office meeting, I learned from Paul Newman”
IL_2 “Everything I needed to know about Meagan’s Law, I learned from John Turturro”
IL_3 " Everything I needed to know about bartending, I learned from Carrie-Ann Moss"
I gotta go to class, but I’ll be back in an hour or so.
TYMK 4 Ever!

Good morning, Ilsa!
I can’t guess any of yours right off, which implies IMDB searches.
But to get the ball rolling, I’ll post a few more.
Z_1 “Everything I needed to know about being alone, I learned from Charlton Heston.”
Z_2 “Everything I needed to know about draining spaghetti on a tennis racket, I learned from Jack Lemmon.”
Z_3 “Everything I needed to know about swapping murders, I learned from Robert Walker.”
Z_4 “Everything I needed to know about falling in love with dead people, I learned from Dana Andrews.”

IL_3 Memento
IL_1 Hudsucker Proxy?

BTW, Ilsa, my wife found a perfect T-shirt for you. It has a portrait of the ancient Greek mathematician and surrounding it is “Here’s looking at … Euclid.”

Z_2 “Everything I needed to know about draining spaghetti on a tennis racket, I learned from Jack Lemmon.”
Z_3 “Everything I needed to know about swapping murders, I learned from Robert Walker.”
**
Z_3 would be “Strangers on a Train”
Z_2 I’m guessing as “The Odd Couple,” but I have a feeling it’s not, because Jack Lemmon played Felix Unger.
L4L-1 Everything I know about hunting humans for sport, I learned from Rutger Hauer.
