clue #2 -- boxer


 o
RE: Clue Game 75: Born to be Alive!

Well, I'm glad that all the clues of the last game fit 'Hideous Kinky' as I haven't actually seen it - wild stab in the dark...

Not stabbing but guessing, though: Pulp Fiction?


 o
RE: Clue Game 75: Born to be Alive!

Clue # 1 -- diner
Clue # 2 -- boxer
Clue # 3 -- pork
Clue # 4 -- pocket watch

Movie : Pulp Fiction

And anyanka gets it! You're up, m'dear ........ Take it away!

(I have to start coming up with better clues ........ 3 guesses? That's bad. ;-) )


 o
RE: Clue Game 75: Born to be Alive!

Thanks, Dynomutt - here goes

Clue # 1 - inheritance


 o
RE: Clue Game 75: Born to be Alive!

Reversal of Fortune ?


 o
RE: Clue Game 75: Born to be Alive!

 o
RE: Clue Game 75: Born to be Alive!

Um... Young Frankenstein ?


 o
RE: Clue Game 75: Born to be Alive!

Dynomutt, you and me both! Three guesses... Clairabelle has it.


 o
RE: Clue Game 75: Born to be Alive!

Hmmmm....... I think we may have to start coming up with better clues or more obscure movies! Maybe some movie out of Mongolia or San Marino ....... ;-)


 o
RE: Clue Game 75: Born to be Alive!

Better clues, yes - more obscure movies? Been there, done that, didn't like it!


 o
RE: Clue Game 75: Born to be Alive!

Paging Clairabelle ....... Paging Clairabelle ......

Please pick up the pink courtesy phone........(and NOT the red one!)


 o
RE: Clue Game 75: Born to be Alive!

lol dynomutt!
Sooo sorry, lads and lasses, I've been in and out of town on vacation, and as I'm off again tomorrow for 2 weeks at da beach, I give up my turn. Arrivederci!


 o
RE: Clue Game 75: Born to be Alive!

Ok, since no one wants to go ..... (And hopefully this can go past TWO guesses!)

Clue #1 -- training


 o
RE: Clue Game 75: Born to be Alive!

G.I. Jane?

(When I choose a movie people guess it in one!)


 o
RE: Clue Game 75: Born to be Alive!

Top Gun ?


 o
RE: Clue Game 75: Born to be Alive!

Woo hoo! Two guesses and both incorrect! I must be doing something right. ;-)

Clue #1 -- training

Clue #2 -- Afghanistan


 o
RE: Clue Game 75: Born to be Alive!

Jarhead ?


 o
RE: Clue Game 75: Born to be Alive!

Keep those guesses coming! ;-)


 o
RE: Clue Game 75: Born to be Alive!

Paradise Now?


 o
RE: Clue Game 75: Born to be Alive!

clue #1 -- training
Clue #2 -- Afghanistan
clue #3 -- GLG-20


 o
RE: Clue Game 75: Born to be Alive!

whattheheckis GLG-20 lol....?????

Spies Like Us ????!! :-D


 o
RE: Clue Game 75: Born to be Alive!

EXACTLY! Paula gets it!

GLG-20 is the type/designation of the highest level spy in the movie. Dan Ackroyd and Chevy Chase were designated as GLG-20s (even though they were definitely unqualified as spies) to cover the insertion of REAL GLG-20s into the Soviet Union. Donna Dixon (Dan Ackroyd's wife) appears as one of the real GLG-20s. Oh, and the movie has Bob Hope's LAST movie appearance. See if you can find him.

How'd you guess? ;-) My last clue would have been :

clue #4 -- nuclear missile "test"

(BTW, you're up Paula)


 o
RE: Clue Game 75: Born to be Alive!

Last clue? Confused now. I thought it's 5 clues per film. Please enlighten me - not that I ever get past giving 2 clues anymore, though... ;-)


 o
RE: Clue Game 75: Born to be Alive!

Sorry -- that may have been my fault. I had prepared 4 clues thinking that usually there are only 3 clues. I had an extra one just in case.

As for the limit on the number of clues, I honestly don't know what the rules are for that! I rarely get past giving out the third clue. ;-)


 o
RE: Clue Game 75: Born to be Alive!

Paula?

Paging Paula ....... Paging Paula .........please pick up the yellow courtesy phone.

You have been declared the winner of the game. Please pick up the yellow courtesy phone. Ed McMahon is on the line .....

 o
RE: Clue Game 75: Born to be Alive!

Thanks, Netla! I thought of Lina Lamont on the 4th clue, but didn't think the first three clues matched (over 20 years since I've seen the film though) - could you explain briefly?

In the meantime, here's my
Clue # 1 - family idyll

RE: Clue Game 75: Born to be Alive!

 o
RE: Clue Game 75: Born to be Alive!

The Godfather?!


 o
RE: Clue Game 75: Born to be Alive!

Anyanka: here are he clues, with explanations:

Running away from a mob is when the fans attck Don near the beginning of the film. This leads to a chance meeting with Kathy, the only girl ever to turn him down, and she gives him a put-down that leads him for the first time to doubt himself.

The big change that could lead to ruin or to glory was the advent of the talkies, which ruined many silent era film stars, Lena Lamont included.

I think the rest are pretty clear.

RE: Clue Game 75: Born to be Alive!
