Coincidentally enough I just watched Vacation and had two a-ha moments. First, I noticed in the credits that the "Holiday Road" song was sung by Lindsey Buckingham...had no idea.Secondly, I noticed that Cousin Eddie's daughter (of the infamous "yeah, but daddy says I'm the best" line) is Jane Krakowski from 30 Rock.

Was watching the original TRON and the female lead looked really familiar... Then it hit me. She's the blonde hottie from Caddyshack.

Another interesting one from Caddyshack is Noonan's girlfriend Maggie who was also the mayor's daughter in Animal House.IMDB says her entire career consisted of four films made in two years and two of them are among the best comedies of all time.

Nice.I guess I have reached the point that comes in all relationships where I start repeating stories. It's all downhill from here.

But in my defense I seldom remember what I had for breakfast let alone what I posted 18 months ago.

And they changed that line when edited now.It was something like "yeah, but my teacher says Im the best".I guess pedophilia was better than incest in the editing room?

No Country For Old Men: The old bald guy in the wheelchair in the house with the cats (TLJ's uncle) is General Berenger from Wargames. Mr. McKittrick, after very careful consideration, sir, I've come to the conclusion that your new defense system sucks.

Micheal Madsen is in Wargames at the beginning.

I don't have to take that from you, you pig-eyed sack of ####.

Had not watched House of 1,000 Corpses in a while but caught some of it this past weekend. I was surprised to see Walton Goggins as the Sheriff's Deputy. Forgot he was in that.

 

[badmojo1006]

It was the guy that said this.

 

[belljr]

Not sure how I didn't know this. Reading about Andy Griffith and

THIS GUY who plays a bunch of "that guy" is Rance Howard - Ron Howards dad.

Sure some of his movies and tv appearances are because of Ron but I had no idea...

 

[Maude]

In the movie Twins with DeVito and Schwarzenegger... the bar scene when they are in the bathroom. A guy walks in on them while they are hugging or horsing around or something, and Devito says to the guy "We're brothers". The guy who walks in on them is Shep Proudfoot from Fargo.

 

[footballnerd]

not a movie but I saw Cole Phelps from the LA Noir game in Mad Men the other day....whoa, he's not just a CGI

Was flipping through channels last night and came across Goodfellas. Not sure how I never noticed before that Stacks is Sam Jackson.

Whoa. That guy has been EVERYWHERE (over 300 credits on IMDB). He was the blind guy who traded eyeglasses with George on "Seinfeld".

Not an Ah-ha moment because I'd never recognize him....but the guy that plays Leonard on The Big Bang Theory is Johnny Galecki who also played Rusty, Chevy Chase's son, in Christmas Vacation.

Caught Fast Times at Ridgemont High the other night. When Brad smiles at the girl in the car and she laughs at his pirate costume ... that's Nancy Wilson from Heart.

The writer of the movie, Cameron Crowe, ended up marrying her a couple of years after the movie.

I must have watched Cannonball Run a dozen times as a kid and it never occurred to me until recently why the "doctor" kept smelling his own finger and making funny faces, guess I didn't even know what a proctologist was back then.

Also, looking through IMDB I just realized that Jackie Chan was the driver of the Japanese team, the little Subaru with all the gadgets in it.

No offense taken. I haven't seen it in years and it was an aha moment. Maybe I knew it years ago and forgot, but if you had asked me before seeing it the other night I wouldn't have known.

Was surfing past SciFy channel last week and stopped on a bad movie called Eight Legged Freaks to evaluate how Kari Wuhrer's wonderful rack was holding up with time and noticed that the young woman playing her daughter looked vaguely familiar. It was only when she turned to profile and stretched out her little t-shirt to put a jacket on that I realized that those bad boys could only belong to Scarlett Johansson.
