Shoes4me | Monday, September 17, 2001 - 11:45 pm     I guess that's why I remember it. Only John Waters would imagine doing "the Roach." How about - recent college grad rejects plastics & is tutored by older woman? |

Shoes4me | Tuesday, September 18, 2001 - 12:06 am     YES! |
Downehill | Tuesday, September 18, 2001 - 03:01 am     Shoes4me: Angel Heart is correct! |
Downehill | Tuesday, September 18, 2001 - 04:25 am     1. Idealistic girl finds trouble and love in the heart of the city. Also, sees her reflection in the glass. 2. Drugs are central part of this movie involving three women and Hollywood. 3. First it was a song about a bridge, starred a young actor that grew up to become the Beast. 4. Tiny dancer finds it's way on a bus. |
Weinermr | Tuesday, September 18, 2001 - 09:15 am     Downehill, No. 2 - Valley of the Dolls No. 3 - Ode to Billy Joe 1 and 4 I can't think of yet, (but I'm thinking!) |
Jushvnfn | Tuesday, September 18, 2001 - 09:46 am     #1. That Girl? |
Weinermr | Tuesday, September 18, 2001 - 10:56 am     Jushvnfn, I think you're right about That Girl. Downehill will have to confirm. |
Floresmama | Tuesday, September 18, 2001 - 11:41 am     4 is Almost Famous I think |
Downehill | Tuesday, September 18, 2001 - 04:19 pm     WTG Weinermr on No.2 Valley of the Dolls and No.3 Ode to Billy Joe Floresmama: Correct on No.4 Almost Famous !!! No.1 is not That Girl (it is a movie) Need hint? |
Downehill | Tuesday, September 18, 2001 - 05:19 pm     BTW Jushvnfn: That Girl certainly would have worked for that clue, but I am thinking of a movie. Hint: A very elegant actress played the lead role, and looked good in sunglasses and hats. |

Downehill | Wednesday, September 19, 2001 - 05:29 am     You got it Shoes!!! WTG! Some more to ponder: 1. An ex-con and a cop live and love together, and even shop for diapers! 2. A son speaks to his father in a time-warp. 3. Pat Benatar lives in this great teen comedy. 4. A guard, a mouse, and a certain beverage, but not spelled the same. And a toughie (think old, b/w} 5. The trials and tribulations of a white actress and her black friend/housekeeper. Can you tell, I really love this thread?? |
Gail | Wednesday, September 19, 2001 - 05:34 am     #2 - Frequency #5 - Imitation of Life (not tough if you're in your 40's) #4 - The Green Mile? |
Downehill | Wednesday, September 19, 2001 - 05:51 am     The ones you got are correct Gail!! Not in my 40's just yet, but that is one of my favorite movies.... |
Jushvnfn | Wednesday, September 19, 2001 - 07:41 am     1- Raising Arizona? Imitation of Life is one of my favorites too |
Weinermr | Wednesday, September 19, 2001 - 09:07 am     Yes, Imitation of Life is great. I prefer the Claudette Colbert version, not the newer Lana Turner one. Wish you could get it on tape, but haven't been able to find it. Here's one - Idealistic young lawyer and kindhearted tough guy team to defeat evil villain, and share a secret that changes their lives. |
Shoes4me | Wednesday, September 19, 2001 - 09:50 am     Pat Benatar lives in 'Fast Times at Ridgemont High?' I never knew there was another version of Imitation of Life! I always thought the Lana Turner one was it, now I have to find the other one! Still thinking about the lawyer/tough guy... |
Floresmama | Wednesday, September 19, 2001 - 12:14 pm     Hey Weinermr does it star James Woods an Robert Downey Jr.? |
Floresmama | Wednesday, September 19, 2001 - 12:18 pm     Imitation of Life starring Claudette Colbert is available at Amazon.com for 13.99 Weinermr. I didn't know that the Lana Turner version was a remake either it is one of my favorites and is in my VHS collection. |
Downehill | Wednesday, September 19, 2001 - 08:59 pm     Wtg everyone..all correct. 1-Raising Arizona 2-Frequency 3-Fast Times at Ridgemont High 4-The Green Mile 5-Imitation of Life (headed to Amazon.com, thanks Floresmama!} |
Downehill | Wednesday, September 19, 2001 - 09:07 pm     WAHHH, Imitation of Life isn't out on DVD yet! I guess I will have to wait and buy both versions.  |
Downehill | Wednesday, September 19, 2001 - 09:09 pm     Weinermr: Is it Philadelphia? |
Weinermr | Wednesday, September 19, 2001 - 09:49 pm     Hey thanks! Last year I looked for the VHS of the original Imitation of Life, and couldn't find it. Watch it, and see what you think. The Lana Turner version is a bit different, but overall the story is the same. Not James Woods and Robert Downey Jr. Floresmama, and not Philadelphia, Downehill |
Shoes4me | Wednesday, September 19, 2001 - 10:48 pm     small hint?! |
