“Have you ever seen Citizen Kane?”
“Oh yeah, that one where the bad guy is coming on the noon train and nobody will-”
“Er, that was High Noon. The character’s name was Marshal Kane. I’m talking about Citizen Kane.”
“Oh, uh… was that the one about the WW2 destroyer with Humphrey Bogart?”
:smack: “No, that was The Caine Mutiny”
“T thought the Captain’s name was Captain Bligh”.
:smack: :smack: “NO! That was Mutiny on the Bounty!!”
and so it goes. Any others?
“You sure? It’s a t.v. show, isn’t it?”
“No, that’s 'Dawg the Bounty Hunter.”
At which point you pin his had to the table top with a steak knife.
You mean that movie with Robert DiNiro and Christopher Walken? Viet Nam? Russian Roulette? That one?
I think that’s The Deer Hunter and you’re trying to describe the Robert Mitchum movie with Shelley Winters where he’s got “LOVE” and “HATE” tattooed on his knuckles.
Maybe three other people will think this is funny, but I’m posting it anyway. 
Have you seen that musical with Christian Bale?
“The one where he works for a newspaper in NYC?”
Yeah, I think so.
“Sure, Newsies!”
No, not that one, the one where everyone is gay.
“Right, that’s Newsies.”
No! It has lots of '70s music. Ewan McGregor’s in it too, and there’s a scene where he kisses this pretty, skinny boy –
“Oh, you mean Moulin Rouge!”
No! I’m talking about a movie that has Christian Bale in it too, and he plays a closeted gay newspaper reporter.
“I think you’re confusing Batman Begins with Superman Returns.”
No, I remember now, it’s Velvet Goldmine!
This thread has potential. Why has it gone to sleep?

I’m not well versed enough in pop culture to actively participate in this thread, but that was amusing.
I don’t think that was him who had the LOVE and HATE tattoo, it was Buffalo Bill in Silence of the Lambs, the one where Anthony Hopkins is a psychopath, and there is a female FBI agent.
Good times. (I think I’m probably ready to watch those again.)
Isn’t that the show with Carroll O’Connor and Jean Stapleton?
“What about the one where that hillbilly travels to the big city and pretends to be his own brother?”
“The Importance of Being Ernest Saves Christmas?”
Wait, what? Robert Mitchum is a large black man in a Spike Lee Joint?
Thanks. Radio Raheem was also in that sexy movie with Fiorentino and Pullman where she ripped Bill off and went off with a dude in Buffalo who was hung like a horse.
(Thanks for helping me out on this one. I thought I was stranded)
What, the British supermodel from the '60s? I don’t think she ever had a TV show. You must be thinking of As Time Goes By.
No, you’re thinking of that movie with Humphrey Bogart where he has to get the bird statue away from Mr. Moto.
“The blind guy that Mr. Howell played in cartoons?”
“No, the child murderer from those German films.”
“Mr. Magoo was a child murderer? Oh wait, you’re talking about…”
When looking for movies for the local day care, please remember the difference between The Aristocrats and The Aristocats…
