My favorite screenwriter is Richard Price. Color of Money, Clockers, Ransom, the new Shaft, Mad Dog and Glory, Sea of Love, "The Wire." His dialogue is so specific to the world he's creating and he never utilizes heavy exposition. He's a master of charectrization and knows how to right a tight, on target story.

John Wayne jobbing to William H. Macy on a coin flip is the most retarded fucking thing I've heard in weeks. I seriously demand a recount or a some sort of more legit tiebreaker. I'm writing in John Wayne in that bracket and I encourage everyone else to do so as well. Robert De Niro Gregory Peck John Wayne Clint Eastwood Al Pacino Marlon Brando Edward Norton Morgan Freeman

I remember when Jerry Lewis showed up on Mad About You. That was weird. There was also the episode where the baby is born and Paul Reiser is running through the sewers with a brain damaged Bruce Willis. Then on another episode they spent the whole time talking about Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon and at the end of the show he's at their doorstep looking for another apartment.

Robert De Niro James Cagney Bruce Lee Michael Douglas (tough one) Audrey Hepburn Gregory Peck James Garner Jack Nicholson Clark Gable John Wayne (toughest one for me. I think both are underrated and misunderstood as actors. My gut goes with Wayne) Kevin Spacey Gene Hackman Toshiro Mifune Denzel Washington Humphrey Bogart Clint Eastwood Robert Mitchum Frank Sinatra James Stewart Tom Hanks Tony Curtis Meryl Streep Marlon Brando (I prefer Kelly and doesn't think he gets the credit deserved, but Brando is technically better) Dustin Hoffman Harrison Ford Henry Fonda Orson Welles Lee Marvin Morgan Freeman Paul Newman Charlie Chaplin (really tough one) Kirk Douglas

You obviously do not understand the genius of Don Knotts. He's the greatest comedic actor to have ever lived. His timing, line delivery, physical takes, and work ethic is second to none in his field.

Shore has been trying to get this movie off the ground for like five years now. The dead comedian who visits him was supposed to be Sam Kinison at one point. Has potential, but I doubt it lives up to it if it's ever made.

I think you should do a seperate tournament for actresses. It will probably go better. If you want all overall favorites to gauge seedings, here would be mine Paul Newman John Wayne Cary Grant Humphrey Bogart James Garner Katherine Hepburn Jack Nicholson Audrey Hepburn Boris Karloff Orson Welles

I assume we're talking male actors and not female actresses here. Boris Karloff Clark Gable Frank Sinatra Sidney Poiter James Garner Don Knotts Anthony Quinn Tony Curtis Kirk Douglas Lee Marvin Rod Steiger Clint Eastwood Sean Connery Montgomery Clift Rory Calhoun

It's not Skinned Alive and it's not Phantom of the Opera

As always, I thank you for the help and there is very little to go on here. "I remember a movie where someone opens a closet or maybe just a door to find a skinned person hanging upside-down, the skinned person then gasps and starts to flail about. That's all I remember. I don't even remember if it was a horror movie."

I believe you mean Hellraiser, and no that's not it.

I'm going away this weekend and have a tight schedule. I haven't even researched any of these like I usually do, but thought I would just start out here to see if I can get any help off the bat. "During a recent discussion on favourite B-Movies, I remembered a film that I saw on late night TV a few times in the late 70s, early 80s. It was about Medusa. The real one, with the ssnakes and everything. But she was only Medusa at night (I think). One guy saw her and managed to get back to his room before he turned to stone, and another guy saw her in a basement and became a statue. I thin k she was a pretyy girl in daylight hours. Any ideas of title, year, availability, etc.? I think it was a Hammer film." "There's a movie I had seen on HBO, I believe it was made for cable or direct-to-video. There's a guy who meets a girl and he becomes obsessed with her. She tries eveything to get away from him. He eventually impregnates her and kidnaps her while making it look like they were on vacation. The guy kills a couple people who get in his way through the course of the film, including an old man on a fishing boat (I believe he drowned him). There's a scene where the girl escapes the cabin she's held up in after it looked like she was losing the baby when in reality she cut her leg. It got the guy to leave the cabin and get help. Her attempt falls short when the guy finds her floating down a river. The film used a lot of split screen ala The Hulk. The movie is pretty brutal and scared the shit out of me. Any idea what the name of it is and if it's at all available on DVD?" "I am going insane trying to remember the name of this film. Have to apologize up-front cuz there's not much to go on. 70's, I think. Western "style". A group of men (cowboys? miners?) stumble upon a young girl in the mountains. She says her family/group/wagon train have all been killed. They take her along, but then they too start mysteriously being picked off, one by one, by this unseen murderer. At the end (this is either an extremely hazy memory or one hell of a fever dream) there is one man left, scrambling to protect this young girl from whatever force is out there bent on killing everyone in his group, including him and the girl, he is sure. He turns around, and SHE DOES HIM IN. As the credits are about to roll, the girl stumbles into a clearing ... where ANOTHER group of men are coming down a mountain, in her direction. It's so heavy ... these poor bastards don't have a clue what's in store for them, as the horror is about to begin again... Does this ring a bell?!?!?!?" Any help is appreciated as always and will be accredited.

Ah, the KINGDOME. Nice to see my legacy lives on, even if it's just an extension of King's legacy.

It's Tubo Teen. The thing was he would turn into a car when he got hot and then turn back when he got cold. Water was used a lot though to turn the trick.

I still say most you people don't know diddly shit. The Usual Suspects Reservoir Dogs Dr. Strangelove The Godfather To Kill A Mockingbird Citizen Kane Casablanca The Godfather Part II

I really appreciate the help in the past and have some more brain ticklers. Again, the details are so sketchy, I can't put my finger on what they might be. "Its some low-budget horror flick that I saw on HBO or Cinemax in the mid-90's. I have no idea what the plot is, but there is a scene where someone is hiding in a church, and a statue of Jesus comes to life, gets down off the cross and murders the person. Its possible this is a sequel to another movie. Thats the only scene I remember, probably because at the time I considered it to be the most blasphemous thing I'd ever seen. My views have changed considerably in the years since, so I'd like to check it out again." "There was a movie i seen a few times when i was pretty young, probably the late eighties or very early nineties, about 2 or maybe 3 young kids that just went around killing people. I cant remember the reason they done this or if they were related but in one scene i think they poisened one of their mothers and in another scene there was a guy working under his truck, that was jacked up, and they came along and dropped the truck on his head (which i found pretty entertaining at the time). I was just wondering if you knew the name of this film or if you could use your vast resources to track the name down." -That sounds like one of the Children of the Corn movies to me or maybe even the Children of the Damned remake.

How many Children of the Damned remakes are there? Thanks for the info Placebo Effect. I'll look into that movie a bit more.

Yup, that's a dynasty. Fit me for my diamond hat.

What's with Forrest Gump beating Cool Hand Luke? You people don't know shit with shit shoved in it. And stop voting for Fight Club it's not that great. Man, I think I'm getting an ulcer The African Queen Vertigo Reservoir Dogs Rocky Dr. Strangelove Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid Das Boot The Godfather Taxi Driver The Quiet Man Apocalypse Now Citizen Kane The Shawshank Redemption Casablanca Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Chinatown

So Seattle is like a dynasty now, right? We're the evil empire of fake baseball!

There's a guy in my hometown that collects classic cars. He's got a DeLorean. I don't think he ever drives it, but I've gone by his great glass garage and seen it.

My favorite part is where the cat uses his magic powers to turn Sandy Duncan into a pool shark. The cat's name was Jake. Not only is Colonel Potter, Harry Morgan, in the movie, but so is Colonel Blake, McClean Stevenson. I believe it's the only time the two MASH stars have appeared together
