* Almost any scene in "Stripes" is memorable. For that matter, almost any LINE from "Stripes" is memorable. * Gene Kelley doing the title song and dance from "Signing in the Rain" * The "I`ve got a horse right here. His name is Paul Revere" song at the opening of "Guys and Dolls" (What is the tilte?) * The final fight between Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker. * The lines "We`re going home - to Tara" and "Frankly, Scarlett etc." * The very end of "Blowout". * Rocky to Mickey, as he`s about to fight Thunderlips in "Rocky III". "I wonder how much he eats a day" Mickey "About 202 pounds" Ring Announcer "Weighing in at 202 lbs. ROCKY BAL-BO-A!" Tom O`Connor

<> -------------------- * The "I`ve got a horse right here. His name is Paul Revere" song at the opening of "Guys and Dolls" (What is the tilte?) -------------------- The title of this is "Fugue for Tinhorns". The long pantomime scene that precedes this (right after the overture) also has a name: "Runyonland", in honor of the fact that "Guys and Dolls" is based upon Damon Runyon stories. -- Barry Margolin ARPA: barmar@MIT-Multics UUCP: ..!genrad!mit-eddie!barmar

1. James Cagney doing the "Yankee Doodle Dandy" song and dance number.
How can ANYONE forget that?! In fact, there are many memorable moments
in that movie about George M. Cohan.
2. The Marx Brothers causing the orchestra to play "Take Me Out To The
Ball Game" in "A Night At The Opera."
3. The ejection seat scene in the Aston-Martin in "Goldfinger." Also,
the title song of that movie (Goooooldfin-gar, he's the man, the man with
the Heart of Gold, etc.).
4. The scene where 007 is skiing away from a cabin where he and a Russian
spy got it on and now she radios her comrades to follow him and kill him.
As he is being chased, he realizes there's no way out but to go over a
precipice. As he goes over and heads down X thousand feet, he opens a
parachute that is emblazoned with the British flag, and the soundtrack
starts playing "Hail Britannia." This is the opening of that movie, but
I can't remember the movie's title.
5. The Edgar Bergen-Charlie McCarthy-W. C. Fields movie ("Never Give A
Sucker An Even Break"?) scene where W. C. tells Charlie: "Watch it
Charles, I'll take you for a ride on the buzzsaw."
6. The Mae West-W. C. Fields movie ("Go West, Young Man") where Mae
tells W. C. at the end of the movie "I hope to see you around sometime,
my little chickadee." (I hope I got that right!)
7. The interrogation scene in the "African Queen" with Katherine Hepburn
and Humphrey Bogart.
8. The song and dance routine called "Springtime for Hitler" in "The
Producers."

#R:ihuxw:-62700:parsec:38900009:000:250 parsec!sheppard Jan 13 08:56:00 1984 "The Spy Who Loved Me" was the Bond film where Roger Moore (as 007) parachuted off of the cliff while trying to out-ski his enemies. It was during this episode that he killed the lover of the character that was played by Barbara Bach. Andy Sheppard

The 'Bond ski/jump of a cliff' scene is definately from "The Spy who Loved Me". They showed it here at MIT yesterday. I remembered it from seeing the movie a couple of years earlier and watched for it in the credits. In the opening credits, "ski jump: <I forgot the name>" was given the recognition it deserved.

I think the Bond film with 007 skiing off a cliff and parachuting was "All the Marbles". Paul Sweazey

I don't know about y'all, but some of the most memorable scenes
I can remember are in "Cannery Row" (which also ranks as one of my
all-time favorite films). The expressions caught on people's faces...
the beer milkshake...the scenery....

#R:ihuxw:-62700:smu:15300001:000:624 smu!mike Jan 21 19:43:00 1984 Quite a while ago I saw a movie called ``Sorcerer'' (a remake of a film called something like ``Wages of Fear'') about some fugitives working in Venezuela transporting old rotten dynamite to the scene of some oil well fires in order to blow them out. I have never heard of this film since, but it contained some very strong scenes, especially (if anyone else remembers) those of a (successful) attempt to move a large truck across an incredibly rickety bridge in a jungle downpour. Has anyone else seen either of these films? Was the first better/worse/completely different than the remake? mike mcnally, smu

Sorry, Paul, but Wayne Citrin is right. "All the Marbles" was a film about lady wrestlers with Peter Falk. It was retitled "California Dolls" and shown on ABC TV a few weeks ago, around Christmas. There was a lot of snow in the Bond film "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" with George (?) Lazenby as Bond. Is this the one? Mason Woo (brunix!mw)
