Too many questions I have no answers for but I'll try

1) Favorite quote from a filmmaker

80 percent of life is just showing up - Woody Allen

2) A good movie from a bad director

No idea? I rarely know who the director is unless he's real famous

3) Favorite Laurence Olivier performance

Hamlet

4) Describe a famous location from a movie that you have visited (Bodega Bay, California, where the action in The Birds took place, for example). Was it anything like the way it was in the film? Why or why not?

St Peters cathedral from La Dolce Vita. The very narrow winding staircase to the top brought back a flood of memories. It was exactly as I had remembered it.

5) Carlo Ponti or Dino De Laurentiis (Producer)?

No idea?

6) Best movie about baseball

61* with an honorable mention to Eight Men Out. Most baseball movies suck pretty bad but 61* was perfect at capturing the time and place.

7) Favorite Barbara Stanwyck performance

Double Indemnity

8) Fast Times at Ridgemont High or Dazed and Confused?

Fast Times dude!

9) What was the last movie you saw, and why? (We’ve used this one before, but your answer is presumably always going to be different, so…)

City of God. Watched it last night. I watched it because so many people (here at the Lounge) said it was great. I liked it and thought it was very very good. I'm not sure I want to watch it again though?
