Round Robin Trivia: Starts with “A”

One clue of any kind leads to a movie starting with “A” (“the” doesn’t count). Whoever guesses it leaves the next clue.

You know, you see a girl a couple of times a week, just for laughs, and right away they think you’re going to divorce your wife. Now I ask you, is that fair?

    The Apartment.

    “Ann suggests that they all go into the drawing room, where Ann then braids Betsy’s beautiful blonde hair. The husband, he plays chess with Timmy – and then the maid comes in with strawberries and whipped cream, and they all eat a nice dessert. And that’s the act.”

    “What do you call an act like that?”

    “The Cocksucking Motherfuckers.”

    That’s The Aristocrats

    “Please, listen, now, if you’re going to refer to that alleged conversation with Sally Aiken, you can’t print that it took place in her apartment. I have a wife and a family and a dog and a cat.”

    All The President’s Men?

    Or Absence of Malice?

  5. Evn says:

    The scientist experiements with hallucinogens and a sensory-deprivation tank.

  6. Evn says:

    I believe that’s a new speed record.

  7. Tom Hilton says:

    “Your work is puerile and under-dramatized. You lack any sense of structure, character, or the Aristotelian unities. “

    Addams Family Values.

    “I am serious… and don’t call me Shirley.”

    She: Well, whenever he – you know, when he came…
    He: Yeah.
    She: …he would scream out, “Surrender Dorothy!” That’s all! Just “Surrender Dorothy!”

    After Hours.

    (mouthing the words)

    “I’ve been undressed by kings,
    And I’ve seen some things
    That a woman ain’t ‘sposed to see.
    I’ve been to paradise,
    But I’ve never been to me.”

  11. George says:

    The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert

  12. George says:

    “You’re the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen, which doesn’t say much for you. “

  13. Melville says:

    Groucho! Animal Crackers

  14. George says:

    Indeed. All yours, Melville.

  15. Melville says:

    “Make a married woman laugh and you’re halfway there.”

  16. Deborah Lipp says:

    Damn! I knew I’d heard that one.

  17. Melville says:

    Damn! I knew Iā€™d heard that one.

    You should have tried saying it in a Cockney accent. šŸ™‚

    Go ahead, George.

  18. George says:

    “Now, Mr. Dancer, get off the panties. You’ve done enough damage.”

  19. Deborah Lipp says:

    Anatomy of a Murder.

    The lead in this film was nominated for a Best Actress Oscar. This was her fourth nomination, each in a different decade. Her only win was her first nomination

  20. George says:

    Away from Her 2008–Julie Christie (other noms: Afterglow 97, McCabe and Mrs. Miller 72, Darling 65)

  21. George says:

    A much tougher play with a nastier title got turned into this film that offered a lead for an actress who would become a much bigger star later on.

  22. Deborah Lipp says:

    About Last Night (used to be Casual Sex in Chicago or something like that). The actress was Demi Moore.

  23. Deborah Lipp says:

    This rock & roll movie features references to many real rock stars. The fictional band’s songs were written for the movie by Peter Frampton, who also taught the actor playing the band’s lead guitarist how to play.

  24. George says:

    The play by Mamet was Sexual Perversity in Chicago.

    Your answer is Almost Famous. And even better than real rock stars, it also featured PS Hoffman as Lester Bangs.

  25. Deborah Lipp says:

    Well, yes, but the last time I clued Almost Famous, I quoted Lester Bangs, so I was trying to be different.

  26. George says:

    I missed that Bangs quote last time, somehow.

    Are we the only 2 left playing?

  27. Evn says:

    I’m still here!

  28. George says:

    Ok, here’s an odd clue: don’t excommunicate me for saying this film is like watching paint dry.

  29. Ben says:

    Is that The Agony and the Ecstasy?

  30. George says:

    Yes, Ben. Sorry, I didn’t check till now thinking everyone had gone home….
