The "Neverending (?) Music" one died two years ago after a decent 2 month run. Let's see how this one does in comparison...

Here are the guidelines:

Whoever gives the correct answer first, gets to post the next question within 24 hours.

Any era, any type of movie, the winner gets to take the thread in any direction they want.... cast, director, lines, etc.

Note:
The Honor System is in play here. Anyone can jump to AMG, or a dozen other sites, and look up the answers, but that’s not in the spirit of the game…

Simple enough? Good... Let's go....

Here’s the kick-off question, a two-part cast question. Part A is easy. Part B is medium-ish...

In Alfred Hitchcock's 1954 thriller, Rear Window, name:

a.) the actor that looked out his rear window and believed;

b.) this actor had killed his wife.
More later,
Tour...

    Ok....in keeping with the two part theme...

    Planet of the Apes

    1) What was the FULL name of the character Charlton Heston played ? (Bonus - and when was it used in the movie?).

    2) Who wrote the screenplay for the movie and came up with the idea for the famous Statue of Liberty scene ?

    Geez... All I've got is a last name and a dim recollection of the author of the book who was French.

    Polkersince85 is correct and he now has the honor.....


    And Tour....you have basically answered the bonus question (even though I'm sure that wasn't your intent).

    The movie credits refer to Heston's character as George Taylor....but there was NO instance in the movie where the first name was EVER used. Not visually or verbally.

    Here's my question:

    In the Reese Witherspoon movie "Sweet Home Alabama", which Club Polk member was the extra wearing a white cowboy hat on the left side of the screen as she entered the bar for the first time? Hint, he was also in about 12 other scenes. This should be easy. It was filmed in GA.

    Ding.....Ding.....Ding You are correct. Thought you would recognize me.

    That was the opportunity of a lifetime. A five week party. I can still smell that perfume.

    Take the honors.

    Actually, I didn't realize that I was the weiner!


    Gimme a little bit and I'll think of something. I need to go and grab my backup brain. After having 3 servers and a UPS die in the past 2 days, this brain is all used up.

    OK, this was faster than I thought!


    OK, tell me what kind of vehicle Alyssa Milano drove in the movie Speed Zone?

    Bonus questions: Who was the actor who player the car salesman, Mr. Benson?

    How old was Alyssa Milano when she was in the movie?


    You don't have to answer the bonus questions to win honors. Of course I don't think we have to say that cheating is frowned upon.
