The full name is actually The Adventures of Baron Munchausen. Awesome movie. I got the best box set ever at one point. Came with just 3 movies: Monty Python and The Holy Grail, Life of Brian and The Adventures of Baron Munchausen. I couldn't help but pick it up the moment I saw it, but who can blame me?

You're up! Sometimes I have days where I want to escape from the moon using a very long rope.

That one's Baron Munchausen (or however you spell it).
I believe at that point he's trying to escape from the moon on a very long rope.

It's a favourite I don't remember the black and white bit at all - just the diagram. The frog would have done it though. Or a clip of the extreme dentistry *shudders*
Sorry for the following image. The next one will be sharper unless someone gets it first

I loved Magnolia but I would never have guessed it from those clues. It is definitely worth watching.

It is indeed Magnolia.
You're up, Mikeyj.

Nope, we didn't.

I really know this film: at some point a character explains this or something like it:
some website wrote:
In the beginning of the movie Magnolia, a classic causal conundrum is dramatized. A fifteen-year-old boy goes up to the roof of his ten-story apartment building, ponders the abyss, and jumps to his death. Did he commit suicide? It turns out that construction workers had installed netting the day before that would have saved him from the fall, but as he is falling past the fifth story, a gun is shot from inside the building by his mother, and the bullet kills the boy instantly. Did his mother murder her son? As it turns out, his mother fired the family rifle at his drunk step-father but missed and shot her son by mistake. She fired the gun every week at approximately that time after their horrific regular argument, which the boy cited as his reason for attempting suicide, but the gun was usually not loaded. This week the boy secretly loaded the gun without telling his parents, presumably with the intent of causing the death of his stepfather. Did he, then, in fact commit suicide, albeit unintentionally?
