".....is it funny!" was the tag line for "Oh, God!" (It appears on at least one of the DVD issues too.)

Bill... I know you're probably in between reel changes or something that is limiting your time, but you're not following directions! It's a game...You provide the question; someone else provides the answer (and the next question). Why are you giving the question and the answer?! You deserve a thousand razzes for this.

Glad to see the game pick up after Blakesley nearly derailed it for two days with his crazy hard question.

Hey, if you want easy movies from the last 10 years or really obvious stuff, put that in the rules. There should be a rule like "whoever stumps the group for 48 hours is the winner."

Sorry for the interruption folks....back to the game. I'm going to look through my 70s films for my next entry.

Hmm. Ok, here's a hint...

This movie is older than I am. I remember watching it on TV when I was a wee lad and thinking it was pretty funny (and also thinking it was old).

If you think you know what it is, look up the movie's poster on IMDB. It's on there.
