That boy sure can play piano and write a lyrically strong tune !

I count 9 ... but thanks for the hint , Laurie ! If, by chance, I'm right, I'll split the points with you, if Old permits ...

"Khartoum": Ok, first, you have to accept Charleton Heston as British ( he barely attempts an accent, but certainly looks like Gordon ) and Olivier as an Arab ( on DVD, that makeup is a little shocking, but believably played as a character ). This is an excellent retelling of the heroic seige during the 1870's of the Sudanese city of Khartoum-- factually accurate, great costumes, battle scenes and sets. "Zulu Dawn" : Get past Burt Lancaster as British (see above) and you have another excellent colonial-era movie portraying the massacre of British forces at Isandlawana (S. Africa). Military details are accurate and the cast of thousands impressive (1,500 British/friendlies v.s 20,000 est. Zulus ! ). Most importantly, it's balanced, no overtly good guy/bad guy judgements, unlike "The Patriot", (though the Brits are invading on questionable grounds ) -- just the facts, Jack. There is also a movie "Zulu" which I really like as well, except an annoying drunken preacher character who is both non-historical and unnecessary -- and in the story for too long, IMO. Micheal Caine's first big role, and he's impressive here !

Gotta try to catch up ! Hmm. They have acted as producers for each other's works ?

Well, that could very well be, for all I know ( or care ) . Likely, we'll all have to settle for whatever source Old55 is using... which could very likely say the same thing you just wrote as the question seems to be pointing in that direction as well ! I'm merely after the participation points as this seems locked up already.

This IS a pain, then, as I've just checked another source putting it at #72 ! Certainly, there's misinformation out there, but something like this should be rather set and consistent, you'd think. Kinda of like listing nominees rather than winners on a past Oscars list...

A: They were on the radio. B: No one, but The Mormon Tabernacle Choir came in at #97 on the US charts with "The Battle Hymn Of The Republic" in 1959. C: Mr. President or The Wicked Witch of the West (Wing) --Nancy Reagan , isn't it ?

The Beatles

"The Crucible" --Daniel Day Lewis : Except for the inevitable fictitious romance, this is one fine movie to get a taste of what the Salem witchcraft trials/ Puritan New England may have been like. Beautiful locations,sets, costumes--even down to bad teeth ( I like when someone thinks of details like that ! )

The Doors

Pete Townsend ? Hey ! BTW, how are having webbed toes in any way insensitive to albino people... Those with the condition ,more likely than not, are not albino. I honestly thought it was a possibility, based on the information in the' clue ' that they were albino ... possibly they had another unusual physical characteristic !

Axyl Rose ?

"Satisfaction" : suggests a guy won't get sex due to the girl's menstruation "God save the Queen"/ "Anarchy In The UK" --Sex Pistols : for obvious reasons... Lese Majesty "The Guns Of Brixton" --The Clash :Pointed a finger at the police for using unnecessary force ...also "Black Boys on Mopeds" --Sinead O'Conner (Racism in England's police) "Sunday Bloody Sunday" --U2 : As a fairly new and unknown band, some thought this was a song in support of Irish Republicanism and/or the IRA.

Jimmy Page

"A Man For All Seasons" : Thomas Moore's defence of his position is brilliant and his acceptance of his fate so noble, that the inevitable is not at all unhappy. "Patton" : Riding his white horse and reflecting on his shortcomings...the anachronistic warrior. Gregory Peck's speach at the end of "MacArthur" was good as well.

"Get Shorty " such a clever, satisfying piece that you are actually watching the credits hoping for a sequel -- very rare.

Barry Manilow !

Webbed toes

Tijuana Taxi --Herb Albert and the Tijuana Brass Nadia's theme Theme from Love Story ?!

All were recorded in foreign languages as well as English and were hits.

The titles are repeated at least twice during the song, almost like a chant ..... The titles are all in the chorus' ?

Aha ! They all had #1 songs on 3 continents... at the same time perhaps!

Bluesboy, Would you say that disco was the climax of this movement , then ?

Well done , edna, and thanks old 55 for the 2 . Hmm, I wonder if someone can win without getting any right ? :: They all appeared on the Ed Sullivan show.

John Lennon --- when he was 'leaving' the Beatles..... (not as many as you'd think-- 1----guilty, well , finally came back to Japan 1990 on the 'Steel Wheels' tour afte clearinbg with authoritiies..... MaCartney had the same troubles... ?! ::
