gawen, you got it! And I thought I was being obscure, but I guess the movie was bigger in France :). The US title is “A Friend Like Harry…” He was also quite creepy in Dirty Pretty Things.

That gave it away for me. The correct response is **Blood of Heroes** , though “jugger” is a term from the movie…perhaps a your title is an aka?

Nice get for Black and White. I was starting to wonder if it was too obscure. Let me try one of yours:

CP8:Everything i needed to know about chicken salad sandwiches i learned from Jack Nicholson  
**As Good As It Gets**

All three are correct.

Love late-night posting…I have the thread all to myself. I’m considering doing a complete thread cleanup during maintenance, which is coming in an hour. In case I don’t, here’s cleanup for mine:

ED1: All I know about children’s books I learned from Alan Rickman

LSD3: All I know about aliens I learned from Brent Spiner

LSD6: All I know about apples I learned from Annette Bening (_horrible_ movie)

The movie has been known as SotJ since its original release, and exclusively by that title thereafter. Yours is the obscure original title.

You’re thinking Independence Day, I’m sure. However, given the number of sci-fi movies Spiner has appeared in it’s not the best question.

Then why does IMDB return [this](http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0094764/) when I type in “Salute of the Jugger”? Also, when I first saw it on cable, which was certainly after its first release, it was listed in TV Guide as Blood of Heroes. (Now I want to go watch it again, I love that movie. “You’re just rubbing wounds together.” hehheh)

LSD3 is correct, and you’re right; it probably was (intentionally) misleading. 🙂
