For starters, let's stop this ''other language stuff''; IMO it's unnecessary, pretentious, divisive showing off, unless there is a specific point in using it - which I can't see here.
I feel as if I'm on playground duty...
Jim, I accept that you were jesting but it obviously hit a nerve with Annie, who possibly over-reacted. It's time to kiss and make up - or at least, move on!

Yes, Miss. Sorry, Miss. But we did do as you suggest, albeit pretentiously and in Irish. Sorry.
Now back to Brian's challenge...

Thanks Jayne, I was surprised (and delighted) to get Ann’s response as gaelge
and expressed my sorrow to her in the old tongue.
And so, if I may be so permitted, I shall say my fond farewell to this thread

Steamboat Bill, Jr? At 92 years old, possibly the oldest film we've had so far.
Mine from post #126 is still up for grabs, for any connoisseurs of the zombie movie genre.

It starts out quite small, just some goo,
Till it swallows a person, then two,
Then hundreds, all told,
But it shrinks from the cold!
Eureka! The monster is through!

I'll have to give in on the Zombies, Matt, but I reckon you've got Brian's bang to rights. I did have a guess at that (a wrong one) but I guessed in French (because Brian) and then felt my wrist stinging where Jayne had just slapped it, so I expunged my comment - plink! - just like that.
However, it reminded me that nobody got mine at #86, despite a couple of clues.
