#50 is The Hustler

I only know this because I saw it 2 weeks ago.
First time I ever saw the whole movie.

How did Jackie Gleason, Piper Laurie and Paul Newman NOT win Oscars for this ?

cfwheeler58;552430 How did Jackie Gleason said:
Personally never liked the movie, but that's not to say that the acting isn't great.
As for the awards: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/34th_Academy_Awards A lot competition from Judgement at Nurenburg. But getting nominted for the best actors/supporting actors is still a helluva thing.
Still can't believe West Side Story got best movie, I've never been able to watch it. The opening dance is so cringingly bad I couldn't stand it.
 
A little research on that year......

Gleason and George C Scott may have cancelled each other out.
( Much like the best supporting actor nods for the Godfather )
George Chakiris for WSS ? Epic fail.

The story goes that Scott tried to turn down the nomination because
he thought Gleason nailed it and he didn't want to get in the way.
He made a friend for life......

For a real treat, see "Gigot" from that same time period.
Captivating. You will never look at Jackie Gleason the same way again.

Back to 62 Oscars.....

Sophia Loren beat out Piper Laurie that year. That's a bit more reasonable.
Strong year for women...Audrey for "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and
Natalie Wood for "Splendor in the Grass". All were good.
Only Sophia is still alive from those noms.

Maximilian Schell beat out Newman ( and Spencer Tracy who already had 2 ).
I was never all that impressed with Max.

I have no beef with Rita Moreno from WSS. She was the best of that lot
and a talented singer/dancer/actress over a long career. One of the first
to get an Oscar, Emmy, Grammy and Tony. That's something......

I get that "Nuremberg" was an important movie, but for sheer
entertainment done well, both "The Hustler" and one of my all-time
faves, "The Guns of Navarone" were both up that year.

One of these weekends, I am going to watch "Navarone" and
"Where Eagles Dare" back to back. Maybe "Breakheart Pass" too.

Sorry...Einon.
Not another quiz.....just a little color....

Um.....Mike made me do it.......
 
Hey...this is a first for one of these.
I just realized that I have seen every movie on this list.
34 of them at a movie theater.

Only "Madagascar" was under duress...babysitting nephews.

Thanks guys/gals! The ones I think are the hardest have been gotten at this point (obscure line that you either remember or you don't, or simply from an old movie) so looking good for not having any orphans this time, good job peeps.

Here's a fact, I don't know whether you know or not: Sicilians were spawned by niggers.... <laughs> It's a fact, yeah. You see uh, Sicilians have black blood pumping through their hearts. An' and no if uh if you don't believe me, uh you can look it up. Hundreds and hundreds of years ago uh you see um the Moors conquered Sicilly. And the Moors are niggers. So you see way back then uh Sicillians were like uh Wops from Northern Italy um, they all had blonde hair and blue eyes. But um well, then the Moors moved in there and uh they changed the whole country. They did so much fuckin' with Sicilian women huh? That they changed the whole blood line for ever; that's why blonde hair and blue eyes became black hair and dark skin. ....'Cause you, you're part eggplant."
Dennis Hopper, True Romance

43. "Sir... Custer was a pussy. You ain't."

Maybe I haven't seen all 50 after all....

#21 Somebody said Mel in Lethal Weapon #2
That would have been my guess too.

#24 isn't Ferris Bueller ?
I can practically hear Charlie's inflection saying "outstanding"....

#29 ???

#44 I guess I thought somebody got this.
I don't know the quote, but the context would leave me to believe
it's either "The Phantom" or "The Shadow".....

Tough question for the author.
Name your fave 5 of the 50

#24: Breakfast Club - Bender says it to Claire at the end.

Just watched this last night while packing and actually remembered this while reviewing who got what on the overnight.

@cfwheeler58 - correct on 44 and 21 (first in the series was suggested, twice - mud duck I think knew the right answer but they put the wrong number).

...I can't really pare down to only a few favs from so many, but in terms of how well they're delivered or how perfectly they fit in the movie I'd go with 1, 8, 14, 15, 22 (Hanks's entire diatribe is excellent, not just the quoted bit), 28, 38 and 48.

@Sukigod - exactamundo.

21. "Eeeney... meaney... miney... hey Mo!" <bang> "Hey sorry A-dolf."
Mel Gibson, Lethal Weapon 2

24. "You know how you said before, how your parents use you to get back at each other? Wouldn't I be outstanding in that capacity?"
Judd Nelson, The Breakfast Club

44. "I travelled to this country in Ghengis Khan's holy crypt, absorbed his power. In three days, the entire world will hear my roar and willingly fall subject to the lost empire of Shan King... that is a lovely tie by the way, may I as' where you acquire it?"
John Lone, The Shadow

--

So the only remaining one is:

29. "That's got to be the second-biggest slingshot I've ever seen. But it's gonna have to do."

#24 Right director....right flavor....wrong actor...wrong movie. Oh well......

#29 Bothering me. Did some research. I understand now :)

I have seen all 50 after all.....
