I just came across this site that gives some known or unknown trivia from several well-known movies.
Some I already knew, others not so, but always interesting.

Any others out there?
That's just GREAT, Lenny! When you call me, explain how you came up with it.
There's a lot of funny stuff that goes on behind the scenes. One that I know of was told to me at a party where I met a guy who worked on the set of "The Last of the Mohicans". He said the shot of the Mohican standing on the edge of a cliff overlooking the land was done in North Carolina and it wasn't noticed until after the film was released that if you look closely, you can see a tour bus driving along...LOL
In the scene from HIGH NOON when Will Kane is standing in the middle of the street all alone you can the telephone poles of Hollywood in the background.
Fight Club isn't a movie for everyone, but here is some trivia on it.
If you haven't seen it, I will warn you there is a spoiler in this list of trivia.

I'm not big on movie trivia (or any trivia) but I just watched the movie below and thought I might post it here.
I consider the difficulty of the question to be high; it's from the late 60's and memories may have faded.
The leading man, leading lady, and director are all very well known, very good at their jobs, and all were recognized by the Motion Picture Academy with multiple Academy awards and/or nominations.
The question... name the film that end with the final dialogue:
Leading man (to leading lady): "Bitch."
Leading lady (to leading man): "Bastard."

PS. Anyone interested enough to want a hint or hints, just ask and I'll add a few details that may or may not decrease the degree of difficulty.

Sure, I'm not too proud to ask for some hints!

OK, both the leading man and leading lady are/were British (the director is/was American). All are deceased.
Well-known stars working with a well-known director on a (not-so-well-known) movie made in Europe.
Leading lady was one of the most admired women in the world, starring in some of the most famous movies made in the 1950's and early half of the 1960's.

Jim would probably be better at this than me
But, and I know this answer is wrong because it cannot end with the lines you mentioned, Camelot, which stars 2 very well-known British actors.
So, if I can make a guess at a movie where I could see the two main characters saying those last words--Who'se Afraid of Virginia Wolfe" though Liz Taylor isn't British.

Good try, but it's lesser known than either Camelot or Virginia Wolfe.
Another hint: it is not a "heavy" drama like Virginia Wolfe nor a musical like Camelot.
It's hard to describe, but this movie is mostly lighthearted, although it deals with a serious relationship between the two stars (who are married).

I need a bit more time to work on it. Tomorrow is our Holy Day, Yom Kippur and it'll give me some time to think.

Lenn: The day of atonement? Well, we're all human and have plenty for which to atone.
Yet, knowing you as I do, I'm guessing you may have at least a tiny bit less than the average bear.
If you fast, have an easy one... if not, then I have been informed "Yom Tov" is appropriate.

Thank you for the kind words and wishes.
Specifically, 'Yom Tov' means holiday or festival so the correct greeting is 'Good Yom Tov'
The Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur is when you ask God to forgive all your sins from the past year. You fast, with no food or water for sunset until an hour after the following sunset (25 hours). You are supposed to pray most of the day, basically ( and this is simplifying it) At night you tell God you have been bad and then worse. In the morning, you realize how bad you were the past year and think I can do better this coming year. In the afternoon and evening, you are asking God to forgive everything you have done, start you out with a clean slate and you will be good the entire coming year.
On Yom Kipper, God seals your fate for the coming year, so you say you were bad, ask to be forgiven and then promise to be good for the coming year. It is the holiest day on the Jewish calendar, where no manner of work is done--no eating, no TV. computer, no phone--at least in our house. Each does what they feel is right for them.
(But God is always watching, so why take any unnecessary chances? :yes: :yes: :yes: )
OK Bob
I do remember several movies, but tried to do a bit of research and was stonewalled
So I would like to try a few guesses
Two For the Road--Audrey Hepburn and Albert Finney
Star--Julie Andrews and several British men
But I still like Taylor and Burton as they made several movies around that time and I can just see them saying that at the end of several.

Len: You can stop guessing. Your first guess is correct. Congratulations. It's a movie about a married couple who constantly question whether they should be/stay/ever have gotten married, and who occasionally stray or are attempted to do so (that's not 100 percent clear, although it is strongly suggested, at a minimum). At the end of the story they're simply driving down the road together as they do throughout the movie (hence the title) and, exasperated with each other and the situation, come to the realization that they'll always be together... the final lines are "bitch" (to her) and "bastard (to him)... both said, of course, with the most proper British accent. LOL
The director of "Two For The Road" was Stanley Donen. Some members might never have hear of him.
If so, they don't pay much attention to directors... Donen directed a few movies that might sound vaguely familiar LOL... On the Town (1949); Royal Wedding (1951); Singin' in the Rain (1952); Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954); Funny Face (1957) and Charade (1963) (and numerous others... he was a busy bee).

Well done, Lenn & Bob. I had absolutely no idea and couldn't even come up with a guess.
Funny though, I have seen and enjoyed each of the other movies Bob mentioned just above, but have never seen Two for the Road. I'll have to check it out.

Glad I was able to help out. :ok: :ok: :ok: :ok:
Funny thing, I remember the movie, which I had seen once, many, many years ago, and didn't like it one bit. Reasoning, I really don't remember as I usually love Hepburn and anything she is in, but this movie was a complete drag for me.
Hope this doesn't influence you Lou.

oz: That was the point of my posting the trivia question. I'm actually not big on trivia stuff, but it was a decent movie. Mostly a "character study" inasmuch as there really is no plot. It's just "getting to know" the two main characters through their current actions, flashbacks, and other story-telling tools. Bob

Lenn: I know what you mean, but have a suggestion... I'm a lot like you (not meant to be an insult LOL) in that it's not the type of movie I most prefer. However, as a man who has certainly lived a lot of life since seeing "Two For The Road" you may (as I did) want to consider challenging yourself to "get into it" and watch the movie from a different perspective than the last time you saw it. I DO GET YOUR POINT. It's a character study, more like reading a book than watching a lively movie, but MANY FOLKS like such stuff and I challenged myself to try to do what those people do. I'm still no great fan of the genre, but for those two particular actors... I'd try almost anything. Finney, having played Scrooge in the 60's musical of the same name, always impressed me as an actor with a HUGE range. Same for Hepburn (My Fair Lady). Bob
