The Way Back (2010) is the answer.

Congrats, TsarMatt.

Hey kskate2.

Lady. I think we should have a separate feature on Popular Films Quiz, Past and present.

RE: The Movie Reel

Another Quiz.

Comedy film. Released late 1980's.

Set in London.

One of the main characters is based on Cary Grant - and named after him.

"Don't call me stupid!"

The female lead was perfect.

RE: The Movie Reel

I saw that movie with Jamie Lee Curtis, John Cleese, Michael Palin and Kevin Kline probably three or four times years ago. It is one of the family favorites and my mother will still saline from it now and then. Quite funny.

RE: The Movie Reel

Congrats, TsarMatt.

What a great film it was. A change of Pace for Al.

Lt. Col. Frank Slade (Pacino): Out of order, I show you out of order. You don't know what out of order is, Mr. Trask. I'd show you, but I'm too old, I'm too tired, I'm too f.....' blind. If I were the Man I was five years ago, I'd take a FLAMETHROWER to this place! Out of order? Who the hell do you think you're talkin' to? I've been around, you know? There was a time I could see. And I have seen. Boys like these, younger than these, their arms torn out, their legs ripped off. But there isn't nothin' like the sight of an amputated spirit. There is no prosthetic for that.

But unfortunately, Pacino has turned into a caricature of himself.

I didn't realize you had edited the post, and changed the clues. I feel robbed! ;)

That last quiz was dragging on for two days. OK time for another one from the 1960's vintage as that is my fave era - Movies and Music.

RE: The Movie Reel

The Pawnbroker, starring Rod Steiger is the answer I was looking for. Congrats, Tented. Do you have the DVD or Blu Ray of it ?
