Does that mean I got it? 🙂

I jerked that from you know where. Saw the flic but couldn’t remember specific sniper fire. I know there were some weird scrapes, though.

Sorry, **Labdad** , I missed seeing this when the page changed over an hour ago.

This is right for Z\_33, which I reposted as a hanger.

My bad, your good.

Wasn’t Ben Johnson that Candian Olympic runner that got busted for steriods? Sorry, no guesses on that one yet.

Yes, that’s how Peter Falk’s character tells Alan Arkin how to run while they’re being shot at.

I\_L\_26 Asphalt Jungle - which I saw for the first time within the past two months!

Is I\_L\_25 one of the Curly movies (City Slickers)?

The hamsters keep eating miine, it seems.

I’ve answered Z\_33 three times now. It’s “Days of Wine and Roses”

I\_L\_26 is “The Killing”

That could be on Johnson, but the Johnson I’m thinking about was one of the best of Western character actors around, going way back (my clue is from the 50’s) and enduring through such films as The Last Picture Show.

Is the Sean movie Zardoz by any crazy chance?

**I\_L\_27 "Everything I needed to know about killing houseboys, I learned from Elke Sommer"**

I think that’s “A Shot in the Dark”

**Zeldar** , the page wouldn’t refresh when I posted my “three time” crack. Sorry.

As for your Ben Johnson “Sody Pop” quote - I’d guess the Wild Bunch." But it’s a Wild Guess! 😃

I saw one of the Days of Wine and Roses and responded to it above. I missed it when the page changed from 3 to 4.

Sorry

A Shot in the Dark and the Killing are correct.

That’s a reasonable guess, and I’m going ahead and telling that it’s from _Shane_ which is what Johnson called Ladd before that bodacious bar fight.
