The Lacemaker

 

A genre painting

What links people to others

What makes them unique

The audience can see things

The characters don't notice

 

Lady Be Good

 

Trees were dressed for Spring

Lovers walked beneath those trees

Birds found songs to sing

I dodged the same old taxis

The last time I saw Paris

 

The Lady Eve

 

Over to your left

There's a girl pining for you

See those nice store teeth

Why, she recognizes you

She's coming over to speak

 

Hit on the head by

A falling flowerpot which

Was meant for Miss Froy

Secret message encoded

In lullaby's melody

 

Lady L

 

Anarchist plot to

Assassinate Prince Otto

Of Bavaria

She marries Lord Lendale and

Keeps her lover as chauffeur

 

Lady Liberty

 

The bride can enter

The United States, but not

The mortadella

I would like to be sincere

And honest all of the time


Land of the Pharaohs


The barbarous love

That left The Great Pyramid

On this night of nights

 The world came crashing to bits

Seven sins were not enough


Lassie Come Home

 

Swim rivers, climb mountains

Fight both dogs and human thugs

Whatever it takes

Elective affinity

Bond of selfless love so strong

 

The Last Laugh

 

In his uniform

The doorman is no longer

Individual

But the instrument of a

Larger organization

 

The Last Man on Earth

 

My name is legend.

They pound on my door at night

And call out my name.

You are a monster to them.

Freaks, all of you!  I'm a man.

 

The Last Mile

 

Turn those machine guns

Loose on all the empty cells

Get bombs on the walks

If the machine guns don't stop

Them, we'll blow up the cell block

 

The Last of the Mohicans

 

Heywood and Hawkeye

Disguised as a medicine

Man and his trained bear

Rescue one of the daughters

Of frontier Colonel Monro

 

The Last Picture Show

 

Anarene, Texas

Everything is flat here

There's nothing to do

The main show has just started

I'll just charge you thirty cents

 

The Last Temptation of Christ

 

You're not the son of

King David.  You're not a man.

You're the son of man

And more, the son of God and

Do you want to ask me more?

 

The Last Tycoon

 

The inventor of

The factory system of

Movie production

Gets drunk and takes a swing at

The union organizer

 

Last Woman on Earth

 

What's the difference?

A big bomb, an act of God

The result's the same

I killed him.  We never learn.

You are the thinkingest man

 

Last Year at Marienbad

 

Lyrical dream world

The complexity of thought

Train a camera

On the inner minds rather

Than external behavior

 

La Strada

 

Aerial ballet

This pebble serves some purpose

A riderless horse

Abandoned by the roadside

Everyone needs someone

 

Laughing Boy

 

Finds her in the house 

Where she meets her white lovers

Near the railroad tracks

He kills her with an arrow

Intended for the white man

 

Laughter

 

Laughter can take this

Whole life of yours--home, people,

Jewels--and blow them

To pieces.  You're dirty rich

And laughter can make you clean.

 

Laura

 

Investigator

Falls in love with her portrait

Suspects Lydecker

Vows she should never

Belong to anyone else

 

Lawrence of Arabia

 

Motorcycle wreck

Poet, scholar, warrior

Attempts to play god

It will not happen again

Any man is what I am

 

The Leech Woman

 

I have to make sure

I'm getting the right product

Why not? You're my wife

I'm beginning to hate men

For a man, age has rewards

 

The Legend of Sleep Hollow

 

When you're riding home

Make the bridge with all your might

The Headless Horseman

Will be down near the hollow

Looking for a head to take

 

Legend of the Lost

 

Two men and a dame

Can put a strain on any

Civilization

Alone in the flaming sand

Rescued by a caravan

 

Lenny

 

I'll Cry Tomorrow

Do you mean Lillian Roth?

No, Susan Hayward.

An addict and apostle

Persecuted paranoid

 

Who was that mask man?

I'm not a comedian

The world is sick.  I'm

A surgeon with a scalpel

Lenny was very naive

 

Leon the Pig Farmer

 

Marriage counselling

First--Second Floor, Premature

Ejaculation

Mixed up insemination

Fireplace headboard furniture

 

The Leopard

 

Don Calogero's

Olive groves and bags of gold

Go with his daughter

If we want things to stay as

They are, things will have to change

 

Lethal Weapon

 

Do you really want

To jump?  Do you want to?  Well,

Then that's fine with me

God hates me.  That's what it is.

Hate him back.  It works for me.

 

Let's Do It Again

 

Sidney Potier

Swindling like a Robin Hood

I tell you, I knew

This bird from another life

Bug-eyed with comic terror

 

Taking a slow burn

It was great while it lasted

Anyone but you

These are things I remember

The call of the wild music

 

Lifeboat

 

Freighter torpedoed

Microcosm of the war

Personifying

Strata of democracy

Confusion and self-pity

 

The Life of Brian

 

A boy called Brian

He had arms, legs, hands and feet

And he grew to be

A teenager called Brian

And his face became spotty

 

If life seems rotten

There's something you've forgotten

Look on the bright side

When chewing on life's gristle

Don't grumble, give a whistle

 

The Life of Emile Zola

 

This Dreyfus affair

A supreme slap at all truth

It's a fearful truth

Not easily worried--crime

I'm gonna explode a bomb

 

Life with Father

 

Clarence Day:  I am

The character of my home

Pointing with his cane

Commanding disposition

Unyielding authority

 

The Light in the Forest

 

Young True Son lives with

The Delaware Indians

Until a treaty

Forces them to send him back

To his natural parents

 

The Lightning Warrior

 

The Wolf Man incites

The Indians to attack

Who will save the day?

Flaming arrows, drums of doom

Rin Tin Tin to the rescue

 

Limelight

 

All life is desire

The quality of longing

Hangs over the flaws

Like a luminous cloud of

Sympathetic genius

 

The Lion

 

Bob saves the life of

A dying chief abandoned

To the elements

Who orders his son to kill

A lion to prove himself

 

Little Big Man

 

Indians believe

Everything is alive

That's the difference

World without Human Beings

Doesn't know where the center is

 

Little Caesar

 

Sam can't take the heat

Shoot first and argue after

Hides out on skid row

Have your own way or nothing

This game ain't for guys that's soft

 

You can dish it out

But you can't take it no more

Listen you crummy

Flat-footed copper, I'll show you

Whether I've lost my nerve

 

The Little Foxes

 

Thou shalt not covet

Jealousy, hatred and greed

Safe deposit box

Regina on the divan

Why was he climbing the stairs?

 

A Little Night Music

 

Quick, send in the clowns

One who keeps tearing around

Don't bother they're here

Me here at last on the ground

Making my entrance again

 

Little Shop of Horrors

 

Feed Audry, Junior

I'm hungry!  I want some chow!

I could eat a hearse

Small, out-of-the-way places

I never enjoyed myself

 

I didn't mean it

Close your eyes and go to sleep

Now open your eyes

Back in a flash with the cash

We got one that makes smart cracks

 

The Llano Kid

 

The gambler is a 

Very remarkable man

No man of danger

He tries to take a stranger

A double-dyed deceiver

 

Lock Up

 

I earned my masters

In astral projection.  I

Learned how to project

Myself into whatever

Time or space I wanted to


Lodge Night


Farina doesn't

Know what the lodge is about

But is in favor

Initiation night at

The Cluck Cluck Klan's headquarters

 

The Lodger

 

Eerie, pulsating

Pathological murder

Drenched in swirling fog

After an exiting chase

He crashes through a window

 

Lonely Are the Brave

 

Too many fences

A modern Don Quixote

A helicopter

Don't stick your head up to far

Play by the rules or you lose

 

Lonelyhearts

 

Bankrupt emotion

A flute choked with saliva

Bending in the wind

You can't involve yourself with

The problems of the whole world

 

Long Day's Journey into Night

 

Foghorn blows all night

Clouds of family dischord

Heartbreaking pathos

A buildup of bickering

Gripes and self-revelations

 

The Long Goodbye

 

What's this all about?

Inadequate adjustment

We ask the questions

Down mean streets a man must go

Neither tarnished nor afraid

 

The Long Hot Summer

 

I'm sick of that sight

I've seen fifty fires like that

Maybe a hundred

I've watched men with shirts ablaze

How terrible for a boy

 

The Long Journey Home

 

Bound east for Cardiff

The moon of the Caribees

Burial at sea

Hard work, small pay and bum grub

With submarines in the zone

 

The Long Long Trailer

 

Flashback resume

Trailerites with ferneries

He sings, she pratfalls:

Trying to cook on the trip

Lucy becomes a pinball

 

The Longest Day

 

Has a long moustache

Molasses brings forth cognac

Three dots and a dash

Monotonous languor wounds

Never so effectively

 

The Longest Yard

 

You spend fourteen years

In this tank and you begin

To understand you've

Only got two things let they

Can't sweat out of you--your balls!

 

The Lord of the Rings

 

The dark riders come

Looking for Bilbo Baggins

Bearer of the Ring

Gandolf waltzes the balrog

Throw it in the volcano

 

Lorna

 

Meyer to Maitland:

I want you to be disturbed

He'd been lightning quick

You had no satisfaction

Top Lust!  Top Hate!  Top Heavy!

 

Lost Continent

 

Who can explain it?

A monster I've never seen

Unpredictable

We're right in the middle of

An impossibility

 

Lost Horizon

 

Locus amenus

Place of pure tranquility

Time seems to stand still

Wisdom of the world contained

Fascination and suspense

 

Lost in Yonkers

 

She turned me to her

You never had any one

Who loved you enough

To want to touch you because

You didn't want to be touched

 

The Lost Weekend

 

Alcoholic hides

Bottle in the light fixture

Pawns his typewriter

Devious and deceitful

Bats flying out of the walls

 

Louisiana Purchase

 

In our simple plot

You'll notice quite a lot of

Reference to crooks

Who have monkeyed with their books

It's purely accidental

 

Love Affair

 

Just keep on wishing

The curtain of night will part

If you are certain

Dreams come true it's no mistake

Wishes are the dreams we dream

 

Love Me or Leave Me

 

You're going to work

Here so you don't get so big

You're going places

You don't have to do a thing

I've got to.  It's all I've got

 

Martin "Gimp" Snyder

Sitting on top of the world

Shake the blues away

Stay on the right side sister

I'll never stop loving you

 

Love Me Tonight

 

The son of a gun

Is nothing but a tailor

The poor Apache

Isn't Mimi romantic?

That is the song of Paree

 

Paris starts to cry

Each morning like a baby

I'm an Apache

The thing that makes me happy

Is to make a woman cry

 

Love on the Run

 

Heiress abroad leaves

Prince Igor of Taluska

At the altar and

Takes refuge at her hotel

Baron is a flying spy

 

The Love Parade

 

Dream lover, fold your

Arms around me.  Dream lover,

Romance has found me

Knowing well dreams never tell

Obedient and docile

 

Paris, stay the same

Anything to please the queen

Who is always right

The march of the grenadiers

Nobody's using it now

 

Love Story

 

Where do I begin

To tell the story of how

Great a love can be

With her first hello she gave

Meaning to the empty world

 

Lucky Me

 

I speak to the stars

Take a memo to the moon

Superstition song

Wanna sing like an angel

Of how I love you dearly

 

Lust for Life

 

The language of paint

If they interfere with your work

You cut them off

Wonder if there will ever

Come a happy time for him
