Yes, that's the one. It was a daring film. Moby Dick set in the middle of the northwest wilderness ... and with most of the action stripped away ... and such an anti-climax for an ending. But the Harris character's eulogy has to be one of the finest pieces of film writing I've ever heard and the whole film worked together to make the ending fit the revelation of the eulogy. It was wonderful. Absolutely one of my favorites.

Lidless, I don't suppose it's "Wild Gals of the Naked West", although all the icons do appear to be naked.

My final guess for the evening is "All Quiet on the Western Front".

Any takers on my charade? :sunny: :sunny: :sunny: :sunny: :sunny: :sunny: :sunny: N:llama:

Where would you find a :llama:'s homonym? (Especially if not pronounced correctly?)

The only thing I can think of is the Dalai Lama.

The seven suns could also be a week. Plus N could be a week 'in' or a week-end. Can't come up with anything that has four words, though.

Anyone else?
