Only Connect I - film.

Jurassic Park=another spielberg movie with scary animals.

Westworld. (Michael Crichton amusement park gone bad story.)

the king and I, Yul Brynner's shiny pate features heavily in both

Withnail and I. Ralph Brown (Danny) is now as bald as Yul Brynner.

I don't think they get it...

Yul Brynner was referenced by Stephen Malkmus on his solo album of the same name. Stephen Malkmus used to be in Pavement, and had a song called Major Leagues. Major League is a movie with Tom Berenger who was also in The Big Chill. The Big Chill was suppoused to have Kevin Costner as the dead Alex, but he was cut out except for his receeding hairline -- a hairline not helped by his latest stinker, 3000 Miles to Graceland. Graceland is/was the home of Elvis, whose legendary film career includes GI Blues and Viva Las Vegas with the delicious Ann Margaret... who was in the film version of Bye, Bye Birdie, which was, at least in part, about Elvis Mania.

Ah, I was wondering how this was supposed to be of any interest at all.

Conrad Birdie (the Elvis figure) appears on The Ed Sullivan Show in Bye Bye Birdie. Debbie Reynolds appears on The Ed Sullivan Show in The Singing Nun. Ricardo Montalban is the priest who gets the Singing Nun's singing noticed in the first place. Montalban's sidekick from Fantasy Island was played by Herve Villechaiz the French dwarf who later shot himself. Another suicidal dwarf is said to appear to be hanging himself in The Wizard of Oz, in the background of the bit when they leave the yellow brick road. The producers of the 1970s disco remake of the Wizard of Oz, The Wiz, sued a New York electronics retailer for infringing upon their name, forcing the store to become Nobody Beats the Wiz. The producers of Coming to America, another film famously enmeshed in legal wrangling, were sued by alleged humorist Art Buchwald, who wrote the English language "dialogue" for the American tourists who bumble about in late modern Paris in Jacques Tati's Playtime.

i can't believe you didn't go with the obvious biz markie reference.

Jacques Tati went on Holiday, which is to say, he too a vacation. Mr. Hobbes also took a vacation -- Mr. Hobbes being Jimmy Stewart, of course, who had a more fameous character who lived in Bedford Falls. Another "Falls" is Niagra Falls, which was visited by Marilyn Monroe in "Niagra, Niagra." Marilyn was played by two people in a docu-drama about her life; one of them being Ashley Judd, who's cuter than sin in many movies including Ruby In Paradise and Double Jeopardy, which also starred Tommy Lee Jones. Tommy Lee didn't care if Harrison Ford killed his wife or not in The Fugative, a movie made from a television show, much like, say, The Flintstones, or The Flintstones: Viva Rock Vegas! or, say, Josie And The Pussycats, whose title character was played with gusto and verve by none other than the delectable Rachael Leigh Cook [those eyes!]. Sadly the dream of all rock boys was shattered when everyone and their brother found out that Kay Hanley, of Letters To Cleo fame, supplied her [Rachael's, and by extension, Josie's] singing voice. Letters To Cleo broke up a few months ago, but not before doing a cover of I Want You To Want Me for the Ten Things I Hate About You soundtrack.

Oh, and you do have a winning movie, right kevin?

"Nobody Beats the Biz" --> Gilbert O'Sullivan. Meltdown. Or would you really have gone somewhere else with that?

ok i suppose anyone that wins AND is living in Whitefish Bay, WI can pick up the classic Day Of The Dead at my house

This isn't anywhere NEAR as cool as the original... I'm suprised.
