Keep  trying Kitt - it's bound to happen sometime  :whistle:

 

In the mean time:-

Little Shop of Horrors - I think it was only used in the original 1960s film though, I don't recall it in the Rick Moranis remake

Damn - I thought that was a difficult one.   :angry: 

Quite right Andy - as spoken by Jack Nicholson - Bill Murray played the same character (but with a different name) in the musical version. 

 

Your turn

Let's try:

 

"You lied to me!  Yoghurt is not like ice-cream!"

 

 

What are the odds?  I saw this on my cabin movie channel during my cruise 2 weeks ago.

Darn it.  With the film getting such a luke warm reception, I was hoping to have stumped people  ;)

 

Your turn.

Sorry Andy - just dumb luck I guess  :P   Try this one:

 

"I'm dead, Bill. I just want to stay that way for awhile."

I remember this quote, because I thought it was funny (still do),  but for the life of me I can't remember the movie. I think it was a 70's movie.

 

Have to go through my film library and see if any of the titles jog my memory.

OK a couple of clues :-

 

Yes Tomas - it is a 70's movie and is classified (by IMDb) as a thriller

 

The star of this movie has a sister who is also in movies, although they have never appeared in a movie together.

I'm glad that I created my Access movie database so very long ago to keep track of my film collection. 

 

I think that I found it... 1974's "The Parallax View".

 

Your clue about the star and his sister is what did it for me. The star was Warren Beatty. His sister is Shirley McLane and they have, as you said, never appeared in a film together.

Correct Tomas. I wondered if that clue made it too easy,  Your turn :)

Here's the next one:

 

I hate her because it's so easy for the rest of you to love her.”

Perhaps it's time for a clue.  :lol: 

 

The lead in the movie came to fame in a BBC series and has appeared in only this movie and has  been in only the one TV series.

Fame from a BBC TV series?  I doubt it would be be 'Allo 'Allo, Dad's Army or similar classic as most of the cast have been in numerous films over the years.

 

I'd guess something more likely Casualty or Holby City.

 

The clue that has me though, is this person has only appeared in the one TV series.  Amongst the BBC that is really unusual.

Posted (edited)

Sorry. I should clarify... it was a BBC mini series not a full BBC series.

 

Maybe add another clue. The person that i was referring to was 13 yo at the time of the mini series.

A child as a lead?

 

About all I can think of is Goodnight Mr Tom.  I've never seen it, so I'm probably wrong, but at the moment that's about the only film/miniseries I can think of with a child as lead.

Sorry! Nice try though.

 

The movie in which he played the lead was a theatrical release not a TV movie as was "Goodnight Mr. Tom" and was released 4 years after the mini series.  

 

The movie was a fantasy and based on a children's book. His role in the mini series was an important one, but I'm not sure it would be classified as the leading role.

Andy's answer finally helped me - I hope.  Is ir perchance Tom's Midnight Garden??

You got it... your turn. :)

 

Note:

1995's "The Choir" was the five part BBC Mini series and the child actor was chorister Anthony Way who played the role of Henry Ashworth when he was 13. He would have been 16 when they made "Tom's Midnight Garden" which was released in 1999.

I've been on a film watching marathon this past week watching the films that I have in my collection starring my favorite leading lady. I watched this one on Thursday. Needless to say, I'm going to bow out this round.

I know historically the line is believed to have been said by Eleanor of Acquitaine to King Henry the Second (referring to the resurrection of Jesus).

 

There are probably several films with her as a character, but the only one I can think of is The Lion in Winter.

That's the one Andy.  Your turn
