The Dark Knight. Just watched it yesterday. "I'm a political prisoner from Cuba, and I want my human rights, just like the President, Jimmy Carter, says!!!"

An educated guess: Army of Darkness. JAMES

Zardoz.

I'm going to pull the plug on my first challenge; I'm thinking it may be too Turner Classic Movies for Strat-Talk. The answer is Gilda, starring Glenn Ford and Rita Hayworth. The connection to Shawshank is that it's the movie the inmates watch early in the film, and Rita Hayworth is the first...

I know this one. Grosse Point Blank. Marty to Debi. JAMES

Last movie I was at that had an old school intermission was Gettysburg. I went to see it with my uncle. I think that was 1993? JAMES

Five Easy Pieces, in the diner.

Seven Pillars of Wisdom is Lawrence's written Account of the Bedouin War, which was adapted into the screenplay for Lawrence of Arabia. If you happen to find a first edition in your basement or attic you my have some money coming to you. JAMES

From Dusk Till Dawn. Here's mine: "I make my own luck." This is an older film so I'll give a hint. One of the main characters is also very important in The Shawshank Redemption. JAMES

The original George Romero Night of the Living Dead. JAMES

Platoon.

Monster Squad.

Once upon a Time in America. Noodles to Fat Moe. JAMES
