Bossk, think you switched your suggestions for me and ric. Ric's link used Kilmer, Mine used Pitt, you have it the other way around. Also you can keep the Val Kilmer (Heat) link and just change the actor to Natalie Portman as she was in Heat

Probably did. My bad. Also didn't realize that Portman was in Heat. Nice thing to know considering how big an ensemble cast that movie was. That one will definitely come in handy in the future.

Let's see if I can do this without IMDb. Might be a stretch...

Now, with my luck, I'm misremembering Blethyn, aren't I?

Just checked it on IMDb. I was right.

Emily Watson (Angela's Ashes) Robert Carlyle (Formula 51) Samuel L. Jackson ... or Carlyle (Trainspotting) Ewan MacGregor.

Out of curiosity, do you guys think that a film should be considered for this game if it was released only at a film festival? I ask because The Life and Death of Peter Sellers (costarring Emily Watson) had showings at the Aspen Film Festival and the Austin Film Festival here in the U.S. but it only came out to the general public on HBO. IMDb shows it in Watson's filmography as a standard movie. Not DTV or TV designations by the name. Let me know.

Jacques-Yves Cousteau. You will need to use credits with him playing himself. And, remember, I said voice work counts.

I think it should have had a limited release to qualify; festivals don't count because in many instances, the film doesn't have a distributor or may not be in its final form.


Jacques-Yves Cousteau (The Titanic's Lost Sister) Stacy Keach (The Long Riders) James Keach (Love Letters)Jamie Lee Curtis (Christmas with the Kranks) Dan Aykroyd (IJATTOD) Harrison Ford

Too easy.

Michael Rooker (Mallrats) Jason Lee/Kevin Smith/Jason Mewes/Ben Affleck/Shannon Doherty/et al (Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back) Hamill/Fisher.

The only problem is that IMDb does not say "limited release" and we would each have to go in to the Release Dates section to find out that info which tacks God-only-knows how much extra time on to the process and will likely scare away players who don't want to take the time. Should I still keep it anything designated by IMDb as a movie? Might be easier.
