The first that comes to mind for me is Paint Your Wagon, the first, last, and only Western musical starring Clint Eastwood and Lee Marvin. Yes, that Clint Eastwood. Yes, they both sing. And then the entire town collapses into tunnels they've been digging to get gold dust from under all the saloons, whorehouses, and other places of business in No-Name City. Good wholesome fun!

'Murder By Death' dorky? Aw, come on...naw, I'm just kidding you. I don't think it's dorky, but I guess it could be...I'm a fan too. What a cast...

I was always kinda partial to Howard the Duck...
Let's not forget the Matt Helm series either...

Ooh...that's tough, but I think I'll have to say Miss Marbles and the nurse (Elsa Lanchaster and Estelle Winwood). Who's yours?

The Marbles/Nurse pick is interesting because I've always felt that they got the least amount of screen time. Are you a fan of the 'real' character?
. . . as for me, the Thin Man it is and I have to go with the Charlestons. Niven is top shelf and Maggie Smith is quite the dish. Although, I laugh the loudest at Milos Perrier (James Coco).
Inspector Milo Perrier: Clues?! I need no clues from you! I find my own clues, you demented lollipop!

I don't know, I've always found Elsa Lanchester absolutely eccentric, so that's part of it. And the nurse is just bizarre..."Murder-poo?" I'm not a fan of the real Miss Marple though.
I must admit, I probably actually enjoy Peter Falk the most...he is always wonderful. Have you seen The In-Laws? His Bogart impersonation is wonderful.
Actually, the movie has quite a few of my favorite actors in it...David Niven, Elsa Lanchester, Peter Falk, Alec Guinness, and Peter Sellers.
Inspector Sidney Wang: "Yes, is confusing."
Lionel Twain: "IT! IT is confusing! Say your [expletive] pronouns! That drives me crazy!"
Sam Diamond: "Sounds like a short drive to me."

Never saw 'The In-Laws' and I just scanned the reviews over on Amazon. Pretty impressive, I must have passed it countless times in the rental store and dismissed it as typical late-70's garbage. I'll have to rent it.
Falk's Sam Diamond and Seller's Sidney Wang get the best material -- and Truman Capote is the perfect scornful foil. What casting genius.
Sam Diamond: You're good, Charleston. You're not my kind of cop, but you're smart and you smell good. You're not a pansy, I know that, but what the hell are ya?
Dick Charleston: Classy, I suppose.

Sean, have I welcomed you yet? Because if not, it is long overdue.
Welcome to the Raven!

00Kevin [/i]I'ld say I'm embarassed that I even saw Tomb Raider [/B][/QUOTE] I'd say a guy could do a lot worse than having 'Tomb Raider' as a guilty pleasure. I know I stop for a scene or two when I'm flipping through the channels. [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Cain said:
City Slickers on the other hand, I don't get. Isn't that a popular, well respected comedy? [That is, to the extent any comedy is respectable.]
PS: Mr. Fisk, Gilles V helped me out. I wasn't happy because I only ended up with 'Sean Reagan' after being denied 'Joe Brody', 'Joe Brody Jr', 'Joe Brody II', and 'Sean Regan'. I put in 'Sean Reagan' -- not really wanting it -- for the heck of it. And such was my luck, that name went through. I have no idea what I was doing wrong.
