I'm back. And I'm bugged.

captainsblogWhew. THAT was a week. My first time outside the county in 2008 and I more than made up for it with 150 miles or more a day on the ol' odometer, four days straight. Much of it in snow of various amounts, intensities and directions (straight down, straight on, sideways, not snowing at all but the wind blowing an ice rink across my path). Is it spring yet?
Anyway.
What's bugging me, for present purposes, isn't politics (although it is), the economy (likewise) or anything else significant. It isn't even our 800-pound bumblebee, which is still around; Eleanor caught her (she decided it was a worker and, thus, female, rejecting my "drunk and disorderly" assessment of it being a he) and relocated her to some plants she's wintering in a heated lit area in the cellar. She even named her- "Sam," in honor of an even bigger cockroach who used to live in the cellar of the downtown Rochester Sibley's store when she worked there, and who was big enough, legend had it, to drive his own Buick to work each day.
No, it's a movie we watched, and not even the movie itself, but the opening montage that comes on it and all films issued on DVD by MGM. I've seen this damn thing a gagillion times and can't, for the life of me, remember hardly any of the movies, and sometimes even the actors, who appear in its 10-second life.
I was gonna screencap it and post the stills here, but the opening title/chapter/whatever of a DVD is designed not to be paused or passed, so I couldn't. I could, however, find a full version of the thing on YouTube:
Thelma and Louise, check. Rain Man, check. Fargo, check. But what the hell movie had thatPlayboy bunny wheelie-popping motorcycle at the end, and who are the others and what are they in?
Since everybody likes a good challenge, I'll screen comments. No prizes other than respect and admiration, mainly because, duh, I don't know the answers.
So g'head. In the words of one regular Flister, Guess The Movies!
