 o
RE: clue game #88: don't hesitate!

Saki (after a sushi dinner) for me and a toast to all of you! Your health and good fortune!

A special toast for Dyno for getting the right answer but more importantly breaking out the single malt;

May the best you've ever seen
Be the worst you'll ever see
May a mouse never leave your breadbox
With a tear drop in his eye
May you always keep hale and hearty
Till yer old enough to die
May you always be just as happy
As we wish you'll always be

Brighter the honor hence

Belatedly chiming in with a raised glass of champagne. A la votre, comme disent les francais....


 o
RE: clue game #88: don't hesitate!

 o
RE: clue game #88: don't hesitate!

Doris Day! Glass Bottom Boat!


 o
RE: clue game #88: don't hesitate!

It's frustrating because I think I have actually seen this one, but cannot think of the actors so cannot look up the title....


 o
RE: clue game #88: don't hesitate!

I'm with kwoods I think it is the Glass Bottom Boat


 o
RE: clue game #88: don't hesitate!

Kwoods has it. The fifth clue would have been "mermaid suit". Take it away!

Wonderful, thank you, but too hot for family mountain climbing (+35C in the shade). We prefer the water!

We hiked in the Adirondacks two weeks ago. Can't wait to get back there.

1. A Widow
2. A Merciless Sadistic Killer
3. The Unrelenting March of the Railroad


 o
RE: clue game #88: don't hesitate!

McCabe & Mrs. Miller?

RE: clue game #88: don't hesitate!

No wait! It's the one with Henry Fonda (the sadist), Claudia Cardinale (da widow) and delicious Charles Bronson... Is it 'Once Upon a Time in the West' ?


 o
RE: clue game #88: don't hesitate!

I have no idea!

I will see you all next week as I am off to Seattle in the morning!

Pat


 o
RE: clue game #88: don't hesitate!

Yer amazin' Clairabelle, got me again!


 o
RE: clue game #88: don't hesitate!

Amazingly enough, we were actually discussing this movie last Saturday at a party. This is Sergio Leone's Western magnum opus, isn't it? Sadly, I don't think I've seen it yet.

(And this explains why I was completely clueless throughout this particular game....)


 o
RE: clue game #88: don't hesitate!

Kewwwl.

Clue 1: new kid in town


 o
RE: clue game #88: don't hesitate!

Little Ceasar?

"Sadly, I don't think I've seen it yet." First six or seven minutes are amazing. I think he made this either because of contractual obligations or to raise money for the one he really wanted to make... Once Upon A Time In America. That one doesn't get appreciated because the American release was butchered by the studio in post production. I want a definitive release of Once Upon A Time In America.


 o
RE: clue game #88: don't hesitate!

Footloose! ;-)

Well, Once Upon A Time in America I've seen. Which version I've seen, I'm not sure of but I DO remember that one with de Niro and James Woods. I may have seen the butchered version because I remember being a tad confused at the end.

RE: clue game #88: don't hesitate!

Better Off Dead?!

(Ok, is it just me or do these clues seem to point to one of those teen movies? Maybe a John Hughes classic from the 80s?)


 o
RE: clue game #88: don't hesitate!

You are WAY cold... not a teen movie. Darker... darker...

Clue 1: new kid in town
Clue 2: girlfriend
Clue 3: secret


 o
RE: clue game #88: don't hesitate!

Corpse Bride!


 o
RE: clue game #88: don't hesitate!

Neither a corpse, neither a bride.

The Village?

 o
RE: clue game #88: don't hesitate!

Strappings? Is that like whipping with a belt?

Strappings stopped me cold, too. Could you please translate? :-)
