Cool!! **Murder by Death**. I can’t help it. I have a thing for really cheesy movies. I was warped as a child. ---

> [@Maureen](#): > > Cool!! **Murder by Death**. Cool, I can try (again) to play Sir Alec Guiness if no one beats me to the punch. BTW, was Eileen Brennan’s character in that always smoking and drinking? That’s how I remember it, but my memories are not always accurate. ---

Good to hear it’s not just me. **GFactor** , Guiness got us to Bridge, so we can’t use him to get out of Kanchanburi\*. Let’s go with **William Holden** \*Kanchanburi is the Thai province where the famous bridge was located. ---

No, I don’t believe so. Hi, **Roger**. Nice to see you out of the Pit/GD. Stick around. He was in a LOT of good movies. **Captain Blood**. Anyone know if that was based on a true story? I’d heard a rumor, but never really found out one way or the other. ---

**Errol Flynn** Another of my heroes, of course. Love the story of the filming of _The Charge of the Light Brigade_ when some extra shouted an insult impugning the Aussie’s manhood, and Flynn promptly put his lights out. Died young, but I believe he made peace with God first. ---
