Great idea Jim. It's funny but I will remember character names a whole lot more than quotes from movies. Every one of these are great characters from movies all probably have seen.

Let me add a few of my own

1--Cody Jarrett----White Heat

2- Fred C Dobbs --Treasure of the Sierra Madre

3-Elwood P Dowd--Harvey

4--Tommy Devito--Goodfellows

5--Harry Lime  ---Third Man

6--Jack Sparrow--Pirates of the Carribbean

7--Sam Spade--Maltese Falcon

8--Tony Manero--Saturday Night fever

9--Howard Beale--Network  --you all should have gotten this one

10--Jake Gittes--Chinatown

I thought Howard Beale would have been an easy one-----' I'm mad as hell.................

And still, a few more popular characters

1---Norma Desmond

2--- Pike Bishop

3---Colonel Nicholson

4---Don Lockwood

5---Alex Foley

6---Rose  Sayer  --a toughie

7---Raymond Babbitt

8---Ratso Rizzo

9---Virgil Tibbs

10---Ellen Ripley

#3----Marge--

# '9  Sugar Kane

The 'Hustler' was a great movie and it was made better by a magnificent performance by Ralph Kramden--NO, only kidding, Jackie Gleason was the best and completely off character for him.

great job Lou. I thought I'd be a bit tricky with 2 from the same movie, but both were just memorable characters. 

Take another look at the 3 you didn't get. I know you've seen the movies, all from major movies.

Could be, it happens now and then. I got it on my second try this morning and my first word only had 1 yellow. Just going through the available letters I put in a word that I thought would help out and when they all flipped green, I was quite shocked because the word isn't something you hear or use every day, maybe not even once a year. I'll post it tomorrow so there won't be a spoiler going on here for those who haven't done it yet

What do you mean, using this word once a year? I, matter of fact, use it regularly.  Doesn't everyone?????

BTW got it in my usual 4.

May I wish you all a very happy birthday with many, many more to come.

Enjoy your day. 

another fairly easy list

1---Ethan Edwards

2---Tom Hagen

3---Marge Gunderson

4---Andy Dufrence

5---R P McMurphy

6---Bill Munny

7---LIttle Bill Doggett

8---Tom Joad

9---Sugar Cane Kowalczyk

10---Mr. White

I guess I'll have to pull it out & rewatch.  I agree with you on Henry Fonda.

JIm

I know you so well, I can see why you may not have liked this movie, but it is great if not for Denzel's performance alone.

Maybe the best movie character--Atticus Finch--Gregory Peck--add to that his characters in 12 O'Clock High, Gentleman's Agreement, Jimmy Ringo in the Gunfighter, Captain Ahab in Moby Dick, and the list can go on.

And if we are just talking characters, how about Norman Bates

Then we can go to Inspector Harry Callahan

and who can forget Neo

And one of my other favorites--Travis Bickle

Plus don't forget Hannibal Lector

Sorry, the best sleep aid---SEX

 6 for me also, and even at that it was sort of an educated guess.

I watched "Moon Knight" last night - released yesterday on Disney. Kinda creepy - not sure I like it. It's a series and only the first episode has been released. Perhaps it kicks in once the main character is better defined. Right now he just seems really confused and things don't make a lot of sense. Maybe to other people they do, but not me. I will continue to watch it as new episodes come out. There was a lot of hype over this show in the last month.

Funny, but since I really started getting into series, I can't watch one episode a week anymore. Even shows that I like that are on once a week, I DVR them and watch when I get maybe 4 shows so I can really get into a series and see if I really want to continue. If I watch a series that drops once a week and it doesn't pique my interest right away, I may watch some other episodes, but eventually, I'll quit.
I am doing that with TWD right now and I also watch Survivor which I have about 4 episodes in so I might start to watch it.

I saw Training Day last night. Thought it was good. Anyone ever see it?

I have seen it a couple of times. Denzel is way off character here as a real sleazy cop, but he is terrific in the part.
I enjoyed the movie very much and really should rewatch it.
Similar to Henry Fonda playing the real bad guy in Once Upon A Time In The West, here we have perennial good guy Denzel really going off character.

Again I liked it a lot.

What did you think?

I haven't done any research, but is this a life-threatening disease? Anything like Alzheimer's

For a time, I wouldn't miss anything he was in, just fun movies, even the ridiculous Armaggenden, How great was he in Pulp Fiction, The Sixth Sense and Tears of the Sun.

I wish him the best in the fight for his health.
