No, I had to stop. It's a pretty kooky film.

Aww MOX. I always been fond of CAPTAIN NEWMAN M.D. ever since i saw it in 1982.
Having seen it again on Youtube, i feel it's still a classic but perhaps the 127 minutes was a bit long than what it needed, according to its storyline.
Anyways thanks for giving it a go !

It's o.k. Moxie. I guess I should have just given Vince the answers he got right & he attempted but didn't get right or put a spoiler alert on them so other people could have had a go & looked at the answers later. Sorry.

I've just got to eat humble pie here. You know the last quiz I set? In the question with a twist there were actually 2 names for the Patsy Cline song. 1 was 2 3cigarettes in an ashtray & the other was 3 cigarettes in an ashtray as I fynd out when I was sorting cassettes out today so I'll have to calculate what the answer would be for 3 or what the answer would be if you used both 2 & 3. I'm very sorry. I was going on the information I knew & coming up with the questions I knew the answers to out of my head & I calculated the answer to the question with a twist while I was typing it.
