Manhattan was correct 1. Quit While You’re Ahead: Today is December 25. Born this day in 1899: AFI’s greatest actor of the 20th century, Humphrey Bogart. He and wife Lauren Bacall made four movies together. Name as many of those movies as you can for one point each. Zero total if you get any wrong. 2. How do you say “winged finger” in Greek? 3. In response to uprisings by King George II’s subjects to the north, an act of Parliament banned what article of clothing for nearly half of the 18th century? 4. What is Tiny Tim's last name in A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens? 5. It’s still December 25, just like in question one. Also born this day, but in 1907, was a musician and bandleader sometimes called “the Hi-De-Ho Man” after the chorus of his hit song “Minnie the Moocher.” Who was he? 2. Pterodactyl 3. Kilt

Casablanca Doh, this wasn't right. 2. 3. I'll guess a kilt 4. He's Bob Cratchet's son, right? So I assume Cratchet. 5. Cab Calloway

I was thinking, "To Have and Have Not", but I didn't pull the trigger on that guess. So I just looked it up, and sure enough....
That was actually the movie where they met and began their relationship.

I figured it wasn't but a guess was better than nada. I knew it wasn't Casablanca or treasure of the Sierra madre because I have both of those.

It's funny how everyone is failing with ONE pick, let alone all the movies.
Not "laugh at you" funny. Just funny.

True. But the game is "name as many as you can." Promotes caution. And yet ...

You know, all I could think of watching that was how nasty it would be to kiss somebody who was actively smoking. I mean, that stuff smells bad enough from a distance.
