Anna Faris stars.  IMDb plot:  While visiting his hometown during Christmas, a man comes face-to-face with his old high school crush whom he was best friends with -- a woman whose rejection of him turned him into a ferocious womanizer.

"N" is The Notorious Bettie Page (2005)
« Reply #4264 on: June 30, 2008, 08:12:29 pm »
Peter McRobbie (BBM's OMT) played the role of Gangel in this film.





From IMDb:  By the mid-1950's, Bettie Page had become the number one pin-up girl in the USA. Despite being abused by her father as a child and gang-raped as a teenager, Bettie had few hang-ups and was actually quite innocent. She worked hard and saw little to be ashamed of in her chosen line of work, whether posing in a bathing suit semi-nude or in her infamous bondage pictures. It was the latter that created all the fuss in the mid-1950s when a US Senate sub-committee launched an investigation into pornography. Still believing that she had done nothing wrong, Bettie eventually left the industry and found solace in her religious convictions.

As for "Q," the best I can do is "Quick Change" (1990) with Randy Quaid, but it's already been played. I know we've had some repeats in the game in the past, but they've been accidental.  This one would be done knowingly.

Maybe Gil has an unplayed "Q".

"Q" is Question of Privilege (1999)
« Reply #4268 on: July 01, 2008, 11:58:22 am »
BbM's Jolly Minister, Larry Reese, plays Mr. Freeman in this film.


For some strange reason, although it's a Canada/US co-production, ALL the posters and DVD covers are in German. 

Plot: A defense attorney wife and her prosecutor husband square off in court over a murder case in which four young boys are accused.

==COMMENT==
Am I the "Q" expert?  I've done so many of them it seems...
