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!](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=206825) [Test Your Movie Knowledge: Part II](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=206873&perpage=50&pagenumber=1) 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.” ---

Here’s a list of everybody who has participated so far in this series.
