This thread shall never die!

JEEPSTER / T. REX

Yeah, pretty damned easy, but as a founding member of this thread, you're excused.

COBBLE CYCLE SUITE / HEP DUHOA TEET

1. Song / Group
2. In theme, and also pretty easy.

I'm competely stuck. I went at this from the miniseries point of view and scanned 408 miniseries titles (yeah, really!) at Amazon and came up with zilch.

Help!

THE LAST CONVERTIBLE / ANTON MYRER

A perfect scramble, Poet, and I'm slapping myself for not having gotten it sooner. Of course, the novel was published in 1978 and the miniseries in 1979...


...well before my time.

NOT-KETT ANLALAMO / BELCH PLOWMEN

1. Movie / Director

9. If you don't know this film, one reason might be that it was held back from video release for years by Universal, partly because it includes a song called "Moonlight Drive" by the Doors. For an eternity, whoever owns those rights wouldn't give permission for the movie to be issued on VHS or DVD, and it wasn't seen on TV either. All of which is a disgusting, sick-making pile of bulls**t, IMHO.

TWO-LANE BLACKTOP / MONTE HELLMAN

I had to defer to Google for the title (I had no chance), but I did unscramble the director's name on my own!

WTG, POET!

This 1971 film seems to have been the only one Dennis Wilson ever made, and James Taylor hasn't appeared in many films. The charming Laurie Bird was in only three films--including Annie Hall. She became Art Garfunkel's girlfriend and committed suicide in his apartment in 1979. The extraordinary Warren Oates died of a heart attack in 1982. Dennis Wilson drowned in the ocean off Los Angeles in 1983. Of those four actors--who portrayed the film's only characters aside from a few background figures--James Taylor survives with a flourishing musical career. The director Monte Hellman hasn't made many movies since then, but he released a new one last year called Road to Nowhere, which got mixed reviews.

Two-Lane Blacktop is a curious film that moves with deliberate slowness, but at the very least, it captures an era.
