Cool. Then here's the replacement question for #4:
4. In a controversial 70's film, a mathematician and his wife move to Britain in an effort to escape American violence. Unfortunately for them, Britain seems worse. Many viewers were in an uproar at quite a few sequences here, including a woman apparently enjoying being raped, and a terribly violent showdown where the passive mathematician must make a stand defending his home. Name the film. Also if some further hints are needed on questions that have been around a while, I think people should be able to request that. EDIT: I think Melanie has the record for fastest answer to a question. Geez... :) |

I have to think of a question. Question ?? This may be too easy: What five roles did Frank Morgan play in the Wizard of Oz? |

So anyway, here goes... 1. Professor Marvel in the beginning. 2. "That man behind the curtain..." The Wizard, of course, heh. 3. The guy with the "Horse of a Different Color" 4. The doorman 5. The wizard's guard :) |
Prof. Marvel/Emerald City doorman/The cabbie/The Wizard's guard/The Wizard of Oz.
Which actress went the longest between Oscar wins? |

Quote:
I think it was Katharine Hepburn. I know she went like 25 or 30 years or something between Oscars at one point, it's hard to imagine a longer streak. But I could be wrong. |
Quote:
Katherine Hepburn has the second longest record. The woman who holds the record did it in two different categories. First as a leading actress and the second as a supporting actress thirty eight years later. |

UPDATED LIST: 1. Name the 60's French film, considered a masterpiece of the medium, where the central character was actually a donkey, and some believe a metaphor for Jesus Christ? 2. What famous film director is known to refer to his actors as "models"? 3. Name this film - http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...2/bd9dd038.jpg 4. In the backseat of a car in a classic 1950's film, the younger brother of a character played by Rod Steiger talks about what he could have been. This speech became quite famous, and is repeated into a mirror by a character in an equally famous 1980's film. Name the original film, and the 80's film. 5. What classic Western had a "Yee Haa scene" that was talked about and imitated by characters in a later film, City Slickers? |
I'm going to take a wild guess at #2:
John Huston ? |
