"V" is Voyage of the Damned (1976)
« Reply #4671 on: August 07, 2008, 08:29:54 pm »
Stars Katherine Ross (along with every other working actor at the time) who was also in THE BETSY (1978) with Tommy Lee Jones!

Plot:   937 Jewish Germans are offered safe haven in Havana, Cuba, in 1939. They depart Hamburg in high spirits, looking forward to their new life. However, the whole voyage is actually a Nazi propaganda scheme and the passengers are never really intended to be allowed ashore once they reach their destination. After weeks of unsuccessful pleas they are forced to return back to Europe.

That looks like Dead Ringers  to me.  Jeremy Irons is in my avatar currently, but so creepy in this film.

Sorry, Gil, I hadn't seen most of those Andy Warhol films, but it was a very comprehensive list.

"W" is The Walker (2007)
« Reply #4674 on: August 07, 2008, 10:36:37 pm »
"The Walker" featured Woody Harrelson, who appeared in "No Country for Old Men" with Tommy Lee Jones.


From IMDb:  Carter Page III (Woody Harrelson) holds a special place in Washington society:  the gay son and grandson of powerful men, he has connections, manners, and he's no threat, so he's an available escort when a woman's husband would rather not accompany her to a public event.  When the secret lover of one of his women friends is murdered, she asks Carter to cover for her, and his acquiescence gets him into immediate trouble with the police and an ambitious prosecutor.  Carter, with the help of his lover Emek, starts his own investigation.  They're warned off by someone's hired muscle.  Can Carter figure out what happened or will he lose more than he realizes he has? 

=aside= Gil
I just voted -- for the only movie on the list I had seen.  :)

As for the new intermission scene, once again I'm stumped.
(But I did see "Dead Ringers" a long time ago.)

Paul, you win again!  I guess I'll have to kick it up a notch next time.

As your prize, here is a beautiful set of handcrafted gynecological instruments like those seen in DEAD RINGERS.  They can be used as paperweights or just displayed as sculptures.  CAUTION: For display purposes only. Although they are made of surgical steel they should NOT be used internally.
