Big Blue Huddle

As I was going thru the other thread about movie characters, I really thought about some of the more memorable characters that have lasted for many years with people instantly thinking about this character and knowing exactly who they are.

Hannibal Lector is one that instantly comes to mind. Mention his name and people instantly get the picture of him in their minds

Travis Bickle is another. While people may not remember his name, you mention Taxi Driver, and instantly they know who you are talking about

Michael Corleone is another character that instantly people recognize and know exactly who you are talking about and has never lessened over 50 years.

Harry Callahan is another guy that everyone knows and a certain image always comes to mind when we think of Dirty Harry

I guess we can say the same for James Bond--no matter who plays Bond and who might be your favorite, the character is the same--suave, worldly, fierce, what we will always think of when when secret agent is mentioned.

Seems that most of the characters have been men so let's try a few women. Funny, but many of the hames are great characters, but their names are usually forgotten compared to the men and are a bit harder. Some are easy if you look closely ar their names and some are quite a bit harder, again, being women.

1---Jenny Curran

2---Kathy Selden

3--Mona Lisa Vito

4---Honey Ryder

5---Rosemary Woodhouse

6---Melanie Hamilton

7---Ilsa Lund Laszlo

8---Mrs. Danvers

'9---Leia Organa

10---Marian Crane

No one got  1, 4, 5, and 6 so let's give some easier hints. I included their last names so take away the last names and it should make it a lot easier

1----Jenny -=--------- girlfriend

4---Honey----------  island girl

5--Melanie-----------second fiddle to the famous star

6--Rosemary----------this one should be so easy

I'll add a couple of my own. I don't think any are too hard and they're from both old and relatively new movies that are some of my favorites:

1 - Rocky Sullivan / Father Jerry== Angels With Dirty Faces


2 - White Goodman---??????????????

3 - Nick & Nora Charles--Thin Man movies

4 - Ruby Roundhouse  --Jumanji  ????

5 - Carl Denham--King Kong

6 - Capt. Jeffery T. Spaulding--Animal crackers

7 - Lawrence Talbot--The Wolfman

8 - Dottie Hinson---=League of their own

You guys got 'em all except #2 - here's a hint:
The movie is a comedy released within the last 20 years. Some of the other characters are Peter LaFleur & Patches O'Houlahan

Sorry Lou, off the top of my ehad, none of the names ring a bell.

Another clue besides Hitchcock has a girlfriend who may be the most beautiful woman Hitch ever used in his movies -- a few times.

I had a good friend who was the manager of The Mt. Washington Hotel back in the late seventies.

We weren't there back then, but we always make it a point to stop in there when we travel thru that area. The hotel is so grand and even though we aren't guests, we wander about, sit at the fire pits, or just grab a bite to eat and sit on the veranda. One time we went in and a gentleman asked us if we wanted him to show us around. We thought it was a pay-for tour, but he said, no charge as he was the official greeter or something like that. he took us on a tour of the place. Told us a wonderful story of how Princess Carolina comes to stay here and brings her own bed with her. When she goes to eat in the huge dining room, everyone has to stand until she is seated at her table at the head of the room and if she finishes and leaves, again everyone has to stand until she departs. He also gave us the skinny on some of the haunted rooms in the place, one in particular that no one stays in anymore.
Such a grand old place with so much history, and a photogenic wonder.
















And this has been my screen saver for this winter

After putting in my 3 regular words, I only had 2 letters. Bit tricky, and with a real lucky guess at 4, I got it in 5.

Just finished going thru some 'older' pix from a visit around Williamsburg Virginia and the surrounding area.  We were there during summer so things look really in bloom and colorful. Hope you enjoy

This is fun

#1---Danny Zuko

2---Tony Montana

3---Rev Harry Powell

4---Capt John H Miller

5---Tom Powers

6---Jules Winnfield (For Tim)

7---Martin Brody

8---Gordon Gekko (same name as one of our posters)

9---Ann Darrow

10--- (toughie) LB Jefferies

You guys are all on it.

You missed #3 and #10, so let me help a bit.

Jim, #3 you will again kick yourself. The Rev part is really of no value. Think real bad guy chasing some children

#10--think Alfred Hitchcock

I think this is a real toughie:

Miss Layton (Elizabeth)

no clue

Walt Kowalski (Eastwood in "Gran Tourino")

Rupert Anderson (Hackman in "Mississippi Burning")

Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase in the "Vacation" movies)

Jack Nicholson as the Joker in the first Batman

Red (Freeman in "Shawshank Redemption")

Winston "The Wolf" Wolf (Keitel in "Pulp Fiction")

Shelly Levine (Lemon in "Glengarry Glen Ross")

Rupert Cadell (Jimmy Stewart in "Rope")

Annie Wilkes (Cathy Bates in "Misery")

Mr. Pink (Buscemi in "Reservoir Dogs")

Going back and revisiting this thread, I was going to use any of the 'color names' from Reservoir Dogs. I used Mr White in the other thread on movie character names.
Just a terrific movie with that marvelous cast. Michael Madson and his little dance with Stuck In The Middle With You playing is incredible. Didn't know whether to laugh, gasp or turn away as he is carving that guy up.
