..........Announcing...........
......MEMORABLE MOMENTS IN MOVIES......
As you ruminate on all the movies you've seen are there some scenes or spoken lines that will stick in your mind forever?
If there are, we want to hear them. They can be lines from an actor(s) mouth or moments of dead silence. They can be scenes or lines that are humorous, musical, dramatic, satirical, fantasy, mystery, futuristic, romantic, villainous or horror. They can be great battle scenes or one-on-one magic moments. They can be scenes from silent films or from today's showing at your local Bijou.
To participate, post TWO memorable scenes or lines or one of each that's etched in your little gray cells. This constitutes an ENTRY.
You can submit two ENTRIES during the course of the contest. Contest ends next Saturday night or when the freepathon meets its goal, whichever is first.
Here are examples of some obvious momentous movies scenes or lines and how to post them as an ENTRY:
The "Frankly, my dear Scarlett, I don't give a damn" line from Gone with the Wind
The shower murder scene from Psycho
Here is an example of another ENTRY:
Ripping the mask off the face of the Phantom in the silent film, The Phantom of the Opera
The Singin' in the Rain dance scene by Gene Kelly in the movie of the same name
Final example of an ENTRY:
Jimmy Cagney smashes grapefruit half into Mae Clarke's face at breakfast in the 1931 film, The Public Enemy
Bacall's lines starting with "Just put your lips together and blow" from To Have and Have Not with Bogie
The shootout scene in High Noon with Gary Cooper and Grace Kelly
Okay, now you get the drift. To have more fun, very participant gets TWO entries.
Entries will be judged on the memorability of the PAIR you post. The memorability can be what YOU think is memorable, not necessarily what popular perception is. Oddball pairings will be fairly judged.....we love creativity in pairing. Forget the totally obscure films or ones that died quickly after they were released.
If there are dupicate entries, the first posted will be entered in the contest.
The ten (10) entries will be selected as winners and the posters will be honored on these threads like an Olympic Hero.
For each winning pair twenty (20) dollars will be donated to the freepathon in the poster's name.
Winning entries and posters will be listed on FR next Sunday. If you are a winner your name also will be submitted to the Shemp Howard Hall of Fame in Peoria, Illinois.
Judging the contest will be Hollyweird columnist Louella Parsons (moi). For Louella's outstanding qualifications to be Da Judge and for more details (not really that many more) concerning this contest, refer to post # 425 on Freepathon thread III.
The game's afoot, my dear freepers. Support our beloved FR by participating. Submit your entry now....and remember you can submit a second entry anytime during the week.
Let's get on with the show!

BUMPer Cars
Newton ‘s third law of motion comes into play on the bumper cars. This law, the law of interaction, says that if one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on the first body. It’s the law of action-reaction, and it helps to explain why you feel a jolt when you collide with another bumper car.

Hopefully no batteried women driver syndrome around here... (runs, ducks)
“Post TWO memorable scenes of your choice. (This will be called a PAIR. You may post one pair now, or one pair now and one later as the contest progresses.)”
In keeping withthe Freepathon spirit, I’ll have to say the first one is:
“Show Me The Money!” Tom Cruise - Screaming into phone - Jerry McGuire
And the second, I’d dedicate to the Liberals:
“You Can’t Handle The Truth!” Jack Nicholson - Screaming at Tom Cruise’s character - A Few Good Men
BIG BIG BUMP !!!
Bump from a fan in TX!!
Afternoon Bump for Bucks.
BUMP!
I'm gonna try to move on, now. ;o)
Bumping this with another donation on top of my monthly.
I love this site. Thank you, Jim, for all that you do!
Hey — I’d better get this in before time runs out!
Loose Change Club reporting in with $39.24 — which I will round out to $50.
This really is a painless way to donate! If I have my Laz-Math correct, this comes out to about 50 cents a day. That’s all! Free Republic is sure worth more than 50 cents a day to me!!
Bless you, JimRob!
I’m putting a check in the mail today for $10.00. I wish I could give more but the Hollywood Writer’s strike is putting a crimp in my family’s budget.
FReepathon Bump! An extra $10 donation just sent.
Finally did my monthly contribution BUMP.
