A Movie Tagline Game

[custos]

* "All he needs is love.”
CLUE: This Aussie bub's been very naughty -- Bad Boy Bubby ??

* “The most devastating detective story of the century!” -- All the President's Men excellent movie

[Drifter]

Custos' rule in place...updated with clues in place and some more taglines this time out...what you know, what you guess, what you deduce...some stragglers are left:

* “Welcome to scenic Atoka County. Pop 10,000. Cross burnings. Rape. Murder. Arson. Its a great place to live...... if THEY let you.”
CLUE: O.J. Simpson takes on the Ku Kluxers; Lee Marvin investigates; Richard Burton drinks and drinks and drinks

* “The mission was a sham. The murders were real.”
CLUE: Streisand's former husband rescues her current husband

* “Even in space, the ultimate enemy is man.”
CLUE: Hey, if you're gonna remake High Noon, do it in Outer Space

* “The picture runs 130 minutes!... The story covers 96 of the most critical hours in man's history!... The suspense will last through your lifetime!”

* “First it controls your mind, then it destroys your body!”

IT’S BACK: THE TAGLINE DOUBLE FEATURE (bonus point if the both of them are gotten in one go);

* “He's X-Rated and Animated!” (solved)
+
* “Madder than Daffy, dumber than Donald, more existential than Howard!”


Whew. Again: If answering maybe quote the respective tagline (and clue if it has one) and answer with the film title. For those that remain undeduced for some time (if any ), I'll add more clues...

* “He's X-Rated and Animated!” that's Fritz the Cat but I can't think of the next one....
+

obviously a duck of some kind, and probably X/R-rated since it's a double feature with Fritz.... It will come to me...

Custos' rule in place...updated with added clues and some whole new taglines this time out...what you know, what you guess, what you deduce...some stragglers are still left (surely I'm not the only person to have seen the first one):

* “The mission was a sham. The murders were real.”
CLUE: Streisand's former husband rescues her current husband; the perfect film for anyone who ever thought the moon landings were faked; what do you with living astronauts the public think dead heroes

* “The picture runs 130 minutes!... The story covers 96 of the most critical hours in man's history!... The suspense will last through your lifetime!”
CLUE: Michael Crichton's responsible for this particular strained sci-fi

* “A federal agent is dead. A killer is loose. And the City of Angels is about to explode.”
CLUE: Hurricane Billy Friedkin went from a French Connection to here; William Petersen's obsessive federa agent; Willem Dafoe's sexually ambiguous counterfeiter; spectacular car chase

* ““The Best Movie Ever Made!" - Griffin Mill”

CLUE: Actor brothers Carradine, Keach, Quaid and Guest played outlaw brothers for Walter Hill's first western

CLUE: Bob Guccione snuck on set at night to film "inserts"; Malcolm McDowell haggled with Peter O'Toole over close-ups; Helen Mirren kissed Teresa Ann Savoy; Tinto Brass objected; the film spent years in litigation; on release, even the stars went on TV denouncing it; the OFLC won't let you see the uncut version :)

* “Seduction. Betrayal. Murder. Who's Conning Who?”

* “Harry Angel is searching for the truth... Pray he doesn't find it.”

* And a special TV show tagline (they got 'em too sometimes): “A hell of a place to make your fortune.”

Yeah, it thought it was being sophisticated.. and shamefully neglected Jacqueline Bisset's character by the end.
