This is Round Twenty-four of the Neverending Movie Chain. Feel free to jump in anywhere you want, post once or post as often as you want just don't reply to yourself. huh
For any new folks joining in <and new folks are definitely encouraged to do so>...
We start by naming a movie, the next player to jump in has to name an actor in that film and the next to follow him/her has to name a different movie that actor was in.
EX:
Player one: Star Wars, Player Two: Mark Hamil, Player Three: Corvette Summer, Player Four: Annie Potts, Player Five: Ghostbusters, etc., etc.
Repeats are allowed but discouraged and there has to be a distance of at least five steps before you use a movie or an an actor a second time. No IMDb please <expect to look up dates of movies with identical titles or spellings of names>. grin
You need to follow the chain as it is drawn, no jumping. If we have Stephen Moyer on the table and someone plays Prince Valiant then the Prince Valiant you have to go out of is the one that had Stephen Moyer in it, no matter how many other movies out there are named Prince Valiant.
A clarification on play. We want to avoid using archival footage. For purposes of our game Dick Clark, Bob Hope, President Kennedy etc. Did not appear in Forrest Gump.
I won't make this a rule but rather a recommendation. Please avoid films that have not been released/aired in the U.S.
And just for the sake of putting it into the written rules mostly for sake of newcomers voice work (animated films) and made-for-TV movies are allowed but not mini-series.
Oh, and the idea is not to stump everyone but to keep the chain going for as long as possible. We play this one on road trips and I don't know why I didn't think to start this up here years ago. It is perfect for the online community because you can jump in whenever and wherever or as often as you want.
Also feel free to add comments about the movies or actors mentioned if you like. Part of the fun is saying “Wow, I haven't thought about that movie for years.” or “I love Errol Flynn!”
We will make our goal for Chain24 to exceed the length of Chain18 which lasted for a mind blowing 1440 steps and/or to make it to the one year mark, which Chain18 fell just short of. The previous to Chain 18 the record was held by Chain7 which had an up to then record breaking 772 steps in it.
Chain16 had 758 steps. Chain3 557 steps. Chain23 445 steps. Chain 22 345 steps. Chain1 had 215 steps, Chain8 201 steps, Chain12 173, Chain20 165, Chain11 163, Chain 17 120, Chain9 118, Chain5 had 111 steps, Chain2 108, Chain10 106, Chain15 103, Chain6 98, Chain21 62, Chain13 23, Chain4 10, Chain14 4, and Chain 19 a record breaking 2 steps.
Since the start of the college football season is a week and a day away lets start Chain 24 with...
Rudy
[1 step]
The Blues Brothers
[5 steps]
National Lampoon's Vacation
Harry Dean Stanton
[12 steps]
There is a bunch of Elvis films on in Watch TCM right now.
Elvis
[22 steps]
Barbara Stanwyck
[24 steps]
I saw this one again the other day...
Ship of Fools
I never much cared for Robert Taylor...
A Yank at Oxford
Its just too tempting and he should be doabale, in at least one obvious way, anyway...
Nigel Bruce
[36 steps]
Well, to avoid the obvious franchise, let's go with:
Treasure Island - the one somewhere around the mid-30's I think
Bruce was also in
The Charge of the Light Brigade.
Lionel Barrymore[38 steps]
It's depressing that that feels topical even today. Norman Fell had a fairly small role.
Did you know that Normal Fell was the original Mark Slate?
[For those who are not die-in-the-wool U.N.C.L.E. fans Mark Slate was April Dancer's partner on The Girl from U.N.C.L.E. and was eventually played by Noel Harrison in the spin-off series. But in the Man from U.N.C.L.E. episode The Moonglow Affair it was Norman Fell opposite Mary Ann Mobley.]
Ocean's 11 (1960)
[43 steps]
In Inherit the Wind Norman Fell was the radio engineer for WGN from Chicago.
Angie Dickinson
Even if I knew a lot of other Angie Dickinson movies, which I don't, I go with...
Rio Bravo
... which is my all time favorite western.
[45 steps]
I'm staying away from John Ford and John Wayne, just to make it more challenging.
The Maltese Falcon
[47 steps]
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
[49 steps]
Since Leo G. Carroll is probably too hard, especially without North By Northwest to go to I'll say...
Cary Grant
[52 steps]
Father Goose but I could've come up with something for Leo G. Carroll...
I know where this mostly likely will take us but I can't resist...
Bernard Lee
[56 steps]
I had to think a few minutes to come up with one which wouldn't revert to the 007 franchise and which, hopefully, also wouldn't run us into a blank wall, but then I came up with one I saw a couple of times many years ago and liked very much.
Fire Down Below
I've liked Richard Jordan since Logan's Run and was always sort of disappointed his 15 minutes didn't last longer.
The Mean Season
[61 steps]
He was always a good bad guy... like in Rooster Cogburn.
Mariel Hemingway
I'll have to hold my nose, but you should be able to get out of it.
Superman IV: The Quest for Peace [63 steps]
I was sorta trolling for Creator but I can hold my breath, too, long enough to get away from this one.
Gene Hackman
Mississippi Burning
[65 steps]
Harking back to the days of Hee Haw...
Gailard Sartain
Wasn't a Hew Haw fan unfortunately. The only ones I remember are Buck Owens and Roy Clark. Unless Dugan has us covered we are going to need outside intervention because this one is by me. If J-J were here he'd probably have it covered.
I know at least two other movies he was in... didn't thing this one would be this tough.
Sorry, you will not get any help from me. I've never heard of this person.
and there you go, you didn't need my help after all...
also the Outsiders(which opens up a ton of options)(a favorite book of mine from when i was a teenager)
and as for that franchise, he played a recurring character in the Jim Varney Movies about Ernest... Know what I mean, Vern? (but I'm not sure you can get yourself out of those once you take that fork in the road)
Jessica Tandy[67 steps]
at J-J
and Thanks Jim
I've been in the same continuous ownership Fantasy Baseball League since 1986. My team is called The New York Knights and the fans wouldn't let me back into Roy Hobbs Stadium if I didn't answer...
The Natural
[70 steps]
I only remember two others...
Gary Oldman
Murder in the First
[74 steps]
Christian Slater... I think...
...and Kevin Bacon. Which is why it always pops into my head when Gary Oldman come us. Going away back to his early days though Heathers is tempting...
The Name of the Rose
[76 steps]
I've never seen that one and the only actor I'm sure of is...
Sean Connery
You should. Name of the Rose, is really very good especially if you like mysteries.
Love this movie!
[78 steps]
Miss Congeniality
[80 steps]
Avoiding the obvious choice and going with
Mona Lisa Smile
You've got me there... I'm not familiar with that name.
I'll wait for Dugan. I suspect he'll know her. If not I'll put out an SOS.
[92 steps]
"If you can dodge a wrench, you can Dodge a Ball."
Alan 'arrrgh' Tudyk
[95 steps]
Chiwetel Ejiofor, Commander of the British Empire and magnificent as the Operative. Do you know what your sin is?
I'd have to say I'm a fan of all of them...
Amistad
Tom Hiddleston
[101 steps]
Hmm, something where he wasn't Loki. Kong, Skull Island has a cast that can take us anywhere.
Because the baseball season just ended and because Babe isn't very good {IMO]...
Trouble with the Curve
[104 steps]
Hopefully this one won't be to tough...
Ed Lauter
Of all the movies he's been in I remember him because of The Longest Yard.
Lassiter
[106 steps]
Wasn't sure about Somewhere in Time so I went with safe play and it is a Bond movie...
Live and Let Die
[108 steps]
I would say The Comittments but no one in it became well known that I know of so...
Far and Away
[116 steps]
dead man walking - he was the lawyer
Peter Sarsgaard debuted in that.
As soon as I looked at Prosky's picture in IMDB I knew who he was but I couldn't play after that.
Green Lantern (2011)
[120 steps]
I did not like that movie...
Tim Robbins
As a nod to the World Series...
Bull Durham
[122 steps]
To go easy on everyone...
Susan Sarandon
The General herself, the late, great Carrie Fisher.
Hoping this isn't too obscure:
Under the Rainbow
Welcome back J-J!
Chevy Chase
[133 steps]
Jamie Lee Curtis
[137 steps]
A Fish Called Wanda - one of my top 10 comedies I have seen.
Let’s go for an ensemble flick...
The Big Chill
Tom Berenger
[142 steps] 142
Father of the Bride (1991)
[145 steps]
Bernadette Peters
[147 steps]
The Villain
where he played the title role, Wile E. Coyote Cactus Jack Slade.
Cactus Jack? If it's the 1979 comedy western which pretty much was live action Wile E. Coyote, then that's the name it was known by over here. Arnold Schwarzenegger was the taciturn 'good guy'.
AJ was in first so I am going to go with his answer and just because the shopping season has already begun here, the local Walgreens was putting up Christmas stuff the day after Halloween and they should quite a bit of restraint. Some retailers were up even before then.
Jingle All the Way
[152 steps]
The self-described whitest man on earth:
Martin Mull
The Three Musketeers (1993)
[156 steps]
Rebecca de Mornay was an excellent Milady de Winter.
'Big' Fred Thompson
[159 steps]
By Big Fred Thompson, I assume you mean Fred Dalton Thompson, the former senator from Tennessee...
Baby's Day Out
Haven't seen this one but I know...
Joe Mantegna
is in it.
[161 steps]
Would this count knowing he was in 'The Godfather' but forgetting which Part Number.
I'll take it and it is III, the one no one watches, which is probably why you don't remember.
Eli Wallach
[163 steps]
Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps
One of my favorite character actors:
Austin Pendleton
Paul Bettany
[color:#FF0000][168 steps][/color] 168
Geoffrey Chaucer uh...
A Knight's Tale
Such a guilty pleasure, that one. Alan Tudyk.
AJ I know exactly what you mean. You should hate it, especially when they start to dance to rock music but Paul Bettany is so good and it manages to push all the right smarm buttons that you really feel good by the end.
Another one I haven't seen yet, but anyone who has seen the poster or the paperback cover knows...
Anthony Hopkins
...is in it.
[171 steps]
Haven't seen this one yet but I know that...
Benedict Cumberbatch
is in it.
[173 steps]
To honour the late, great Alan Turing, The Imitation Game
That one I saw
Mark Strong[175 steps]
Are we stuck again or have people just been to busy to post?
He was one of the princes in Stardust. Preferred the book, but it was a decent watch.
Someone we don't use nearly enough...
Peter O'Toole
[177 steps]
Such a magnificent actor. Troy
Loved him in A Lion in Winter and Lawrence of Arabia and many others...
Brendan Gleeson
Don't forget My Favorite Year, the Masada mini-series and Becket.
The first film one always thinks of with him is Braveheart but I think I will go with...
Kingdom of Heaven
[180 steps]
It's been a long time since I've seen that one...
Clint Eastwood
Lets go back to his reintroduction to Hollywood...
Where Eagles Dare
[184 steps]
Not a lot of actors I know from that movie...
Richard Burton
One of the finest actors from these shores. V for Vendetta
Natalie Portman
[190 steps] 190
Took me a moment to come up with one which was not one of two series...
Last Action Hero
Ray Bolger and Keye Luke are both tempting but I am going to play it safe and go with...
Brooke Shields
I only know one movie that Bolger was in but the the whole world knows it as well and it is not like you couldn't get out of it. Getting out of a Charlie Chan movie might not be as easy. Still Shields would seem to be the better choice for keeping the Chain intact.
[200 steps]
Let's go for Keith Carradine.
His father would be easier but I do believe Keith was in
Cowboys & Aliens
Daniel Craig was the lead there.
The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel
Do you fear death?
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End
Finding Neverland
[210 steps]
Are we stuck or just trying to digest the holiday leftovers?
Probably the latter, busy few days. Kate Winslet.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Jim Carrey
[213 steps] 213
Shirley MacLaine
[217 steps]
12 Angry Men where he was Juror #7
A box movie if ever there was one but I am going to go with...
George Peppard
...who tends to get lost among all the big names even though he has the largest part.
[223 steps]
Buddy Ebsen is tempting but I don't know any other movies he is in besides
Breakfast at Tiffiany's so I will go with...
Audrey Hepburn[225 steps]
The original Sabrina, sometime in the 1950's...
William Holden
[227 steps]
Hatari which is Swahili for Danger
Richard Widmark
[235 steps]
Sidney Poitier[237 steps] 237dancing all around it
Blackboard Jungle and avoiding what Don's trolling for...
You're a mean one Mr. Grinch...
Anne Francis
[239 steps]
I think it is altogether possible that we have never, ever used...
Aldo Ray
[244 steps]
You just met the 5 step requirement...
George Takei
[250 steps]
Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country had an exceptionally good cast outside the regulars.
"Target that explosion and fire!"
Oops, Don... I had forgotten already using The Green Berets...
The Sound of Music
John Rhys-Davies
[256 steps]
Hmmm... I could go two or three ways here...
The Living Daylights
Timothy Dalton
[258 steps]
Star Wars VII: The Force Awakens
Well, I suppose I'd rather go with
Harrison Ford
Just because parts of it were actually filmed in Detroit...
Presumed Innocent
[264 steps] 264
Victor McLaglen
[272 steps]
Geraldine Page
[276 steps]
Clint Eastwood
[278 steps]
I love Kelly's Heroes <there you go again with those negative waves> and I am really tempted to go with Don Rickles but the only other movie I know for certain he was in is Beach Blanket Bingo so I'll go with...
Harry Dean Stanton
...instead. Carol O'Connor would be doable but mostly leads back to other war movies and Stanton is in a wider variety of stuff.
[280 steps]
George Kennedy
[282 steps]
Death Ship - (A not so great 80's film)
Pretty sure I haven't seen that one...
Not my cup of tea but I have a friend who likes old horror movies, even the bad ones, and I recall this one enough to remember that...
Richard Crenna
...is in it.
Candice Bergen
[287 steps] 287
Frank Langella
[290 steps]
Good Night, and Good Luck
David Strathairn
[292 steps]
Tom "There's no crying in baseball" Hanks
[294 steps]
An Officer and a Gentleman
Iron Eagle is tempting but I am probably the only person in the world who watched any of those movies so I'll go with...
Enemy Mine
[299 steps]
Great film. Brion James was the antagonist in the latter part.
I saw the first two Iron Eagle movies. The first one was fair.
The Fifth Element
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
[304 steps]
The Other Boleyn Girl
[312 steps] 312
Are we stuck or just suffering from holiday lag?
David Morissey was in that movie I believe. The Governor
Captain Corelli's Mandolin
[313 steps]
Are we stuck, again, or just waiting for the holiday to pass?
I've never heard of that movie...
Patrick Swayze
[320 steps]
Enemy at the Gates
[325 steps]
Joseph Fiennes.
"Let me show you where the Major is."
Shakespeare in Love
[327 steps]
Ben Affleck (Can you believe it!)
Goooooooood Mooorning Vietnam.
Bruno Kirby
[335 steps] 335
Let's turn this up to eleven.
This Is Spın̈al Tap
Michael McKean
[336 steps]
Jamie Lee Curtis
[340 steps]
Beverly Hills Cop (1984)
[343 steps]
John Hurt reprised one of his roles in a cameo.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
[349 steps]
[351 steps]
Hmmm... I remember the movie but not many actors in it...
Irene Pappas
The two films most Americans remember best with her is The Guns of Navarone and Zorba the Greek (both used) fortunately I am a history nut so I remember one more...
Anne of the Thousand Days
[355 steps]
Now, I remember that one...
Richard Burton
Stewart Granger (whose real name was James Stewart)
Stewart Granger is easy. I like Stewart Granger, but coming up with a Stewart Granger movie that people can get out of is more challenging I think.
North to Alaska
[360 steps] 360
BTW the way welcome aboard Ken!
One of my all-time favorite character actresses
Kathleen Freeman
The thing I remember her best for are all those Jerry Lewis movies.
The Buccaneer
[361 steps]
Not stuck... I thought I had already posted...
Inger Stevens
Lots of people we can go with on this one...
Raymond St. Jacques
You were supposed to say Richard Widmark
so we could go you know where!
Quite possibly my second favorite John Carpenter movie...
They Live[365 steps]
I knew what you were expecting, Don, but Widmark's too easy.
And
They Live is almost too difficult... I barely remember seeing it and don't want to go with the wrestler... How about
Keith David
The Green Mile
[369 steps]
The Long Kiss Goodnight
[371 steps]
Goldeneye because I'm not sure if the Sharpe series counts.
Harry Carey Jr.
[380 steps]
I'll even avoid the John Ford/John Wayne cast of regulars...
Mask
Sam Elliott
[383 steps] 383
Patrick Swayze
[384 steps]
To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar
Kris Kristofferson
[388 steps]
A Star Is Born the one in the 80s I think...
Back to the Future part II.
You have to use your hands?!
Because spring training is just around the corner...
Eight Men Out
[399 steps]
I usually go with Grosse Pointe Plank because The Pointes are just down the road from me but to be different I'll say...
Stand by Me
[400 steps]
Well, I guess I'll go with
River Phoenix
I liked Little Nitka but...
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
is probably easier to get out of.
[400 steps]
Little Nikita was pretty good... but what about:
Denholm Elliott
Until the Indiana Jones movies came out Denholm Elliot was one of those 'you know that guy that was in' types for me.
Robin and Marian
[402 steps]
Breakfast at Tiffany's
[407 steps]
The Bridges at Toko-Ri
[408 steps] 408
Throwing a soft ball out to Ex
...
Girls! Girls! Girls! [411 steps]
Stella Stevens or any one of 5 or 6 others.
The Courtship of Eddie's Father
[410 steps]
One of those rare films where the movie is as good as the book...
Seven Days in May
[414 steps]
Pretty good movie...
Kirk Douglas - just for you, Don...
So many to pick from.
I already have a graphic for
In Harm's Way done but I think I'll go with...
The Vikings ...and see where it leads.
[416 steps]
The Black Shield of Falworth (One of my favorite movies as a kid and so bad!!!!)
![[Linked Image]](https://www.dreamlyrics.com/forums/gallery/630/medium/15717.jpg)
I still love this movie (along with
The Longships both of which everyone else seems to think is bad)... and was in fact trolling for it. Janet Leigh could also have taken us to
Prince Valiant another movie I like that people probably think is bad.
I admit that some of my affection for Shield is a result of my love for the Howard Pyle novel
Men of Iron on which the movie is based. I love Pyle's art and story telling and have read everything he wrote. Howard Pyle and Hal Foster might be my two favorite illustrators!
Tony Curtis[419 steps]
And no
The Black Shield of Falworth is
not the film in which Curtis famously says, "Yondah lies da castle of my foddah.” In fact Curtis, who worked very hard to shed his Bronx accent, never said it at all! The closest line he has to it is in 1951's
The Prince Who Was A Thief when he says, “This is my father’s palace, and yonder lies the Valley of the Sun”.
[OOC: Writing this has inspired me to point where I might just go to YouTube and watch it right now] Dustin Hoffman
[423 steps]
I love to say
Dream A Liitle Dream but with Robards gone it only leaves the two Coreys and Meredith Salinger and getting out would tend to be circular.
Tora! Tora! Tora! <plenty of people in this one>
[426 steps]
E. G. Marshall - let's see if he gets the result I'm trolling for...
Were you trolling for... Billy Jack Goes to Washington ? <just teasing>
I might have said Is Paris Burning or The Buccaneer but we used The Buccaneer recently and you are trolling and I suspect it is for...
12 Angry Men
...which if I remember correctly is a favorite of yours.
[428 steps]
Excellente primo good!
John Fiedler
The Odd Couple
[432 steps] 432
The Great Race
[432 steps]
Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
[434 steps]
Just because it's February and Spring Training <baseball movie season> is just two weeks away.
The Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars & Motor Kings
[436 steps]
Silver Streak
[438 steps]
First Monday in October
[440 steps]
Where The Boys Are
[444 steps]
The Ten Commandments
[448 steps]
One of my favorite - and most realistic - westerns.
Will Penny
Donald Pleasence
[451 steps]
just to be different...
Bruce Cabot
The best Blofeld...
Charles Gray
...though I will probably end up wishing I'd gone with Connery.
[459 steps] 459
The Seven-Per-Cent Solution
Once again I should probably go with any of several of the bigger names but instead I am going trolling with...
Nicol Williamson
[459 steps]
Not sure what you're trolling for, but I really like this movie...
The Cheap Detective
Actually I was thinking
Excalibur. It is the film I most associate Williamson with.
Seems to me that we've been down this path before so just to mix things up I will say...
John Houseman...even though he isn't the easiest of group to get out of.
[461 steps]
it is time to start trolling for baseball movies...
James Earl Jones
[465 steps]
Just for you, Don...
The Sandlot
A roundabout troll...
Charles Martin Smith
[469 steps]
Wanted
The Untouchables so we could get to Kevin Costner and all sorts of baseball movies
...
Harrison Ford...was in a baseball movie though.
[471 steps]
I assume you're talking about
42
Took me a minute to remember that one.
That's it
.
Alan Tudyk[473 steps]
Going to go half way out on a limb and say...
James Purefoy
[475 steps]
Ooo, here's a fun bit of trivia. He was one of two actors to play V in V for Vendetta. When he quit, the scenes didn't need to be reshot because you're dealing with a guy in a full face mask.
Somehow it seems fitting that we go with...
Hugo Weaving
...here, then.
[477 steps]
"Human Beings are a disease."
The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring.
Viggo Mortensen
[479 steps]
we just had Ed Harris so that leaves...
Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio
[485 steps]
John C. Reilly
[487 steps]
Tommy Lee Jones
[489 steps]
showing my age here...
The Graduate
[496 steps]
Me, too...
Murray Hamilton
I knew I could get away with it because you are a year older than me.
As an accomplished character actor Hamilton is in a ton of stuff including one of my favorite movies
Anatomy of a Murder but the first film that always jumps into my mind when you say his name is...
JAWS[500 steps] 500
I'm tempted to go with Carl Gottlieb, but I guess I shouldn't.
Richard Dreyfus
What About Bob?
[500 steps]
Although I've never seen the complete movie, I'm pretty sure Bill Murray was in it.
Once you mentioned Bill Murray, Dugan, and I thought about him together with Richard Dreyfuss, I remembered the movie.
Caddyshack Burgess Meredith
[505 steps]
Sylvester Stallone
[507 steps]
Let's enhance our calm.
Demolition Man
We did Chevy Chase not to long ago so...
Crispin Glover
[517 steps]
The People Vs. Larry Flynt
Woody Harrelson
[519 steps]
Michael J. Fox
[521 steps]
Avoiding the series, I'll go with:
The American President
'I love the smell of napalm in the morning..."
Robert Duvall
[525 steps]
Micheal Douglas
[529 steps] 529
Kathleen Turner
[531 steps]
Paul Newman
[537[color:#FF0000][/color] steps]
I really like this movie a lot. I think it is one of my favorite...
Gene Kellymovies and he doesn't even dance in it.
[539 steps]
One of my favorites, too...
An American in Paris
Oddly enough this movie was playing about an hour ago. I was not watching, just passing through as I tuned in on Guy's Grocery games in On Demand.
Maybe I should have watched more because the only other person I remember being in it is...
Leslie Caron[544 steps]
Sorry but I can't resist the urge to say...
Bernard Lee
[554 steps]
And he was young in that one...
Well, without going you know where, the first thing that comes to mind is:
Fire Down Below
Someone who doesn't get played as much as he probably should...
Robert Mitchum
[556 steps]
‘Over the Mountains Of the Moon, Down the Valley of the Shadow, Ride, boldly ride,’ The shade replied,— ‘If you seek for Eldorado!’
James Caan
[558 steps]
We did Robert Duvall and James Cann recently so lets give...
Bo Hopkins
...a try. Though Mako is tempting, I just can't remember if Ex knows who he is.
[555 steps] 555
Oh, I definitely know Mako and was sort of trolling for him.
The Wild Bunch Maureen O'Hara
[568 steps]
trolling with...
Brian Keith
[570 steps]
Instead of the obvious choices (Wayne, Douglas, Meredith) lets go with...
George Kennedy
...just to be different.
I don't know/remember the name of the character actor who plays the Aussie coast watcher, he's in lots of other stuff, or I'd be tempted to use him. Or if I could think of another Hugh O'Brian movie that would be yet another way to go.
[578 steps]
Going trolling with...
Leslie Nielsen
[580 steps]
I think your coast watcher is Michael Pate, Don...
The Poseidon Adventure
Good thing I didn't use him then because when I looked him up in IMDB he turned out to be Stanley Holloway.
Was hoping for Forbidden Planet but failed to get that or The Day the Earth Stood Still earlier.
Gene Hackman was in a couple of football movies and a basketball one but to the best of my knowledge no baseball movies, though he was in a movie with Kevin Costner who is in at least three baseball movies. Anyway, lets go with ...
Roddy McDowall
[582 steps]
My fault on that one... Michael Pate played the Aussie coast watcher in PT 109, not In Harms Way where, of course, Stanley Holloway played that part.
I was avoiding The Day the Earth Stood Still since I've used it a couple of times before.
Five Card Stud
An airplane movie! My second favorite after baseball!
Burt Lancaster
[580 steps]
Dean Jagger
[581 steps] 581
Don't know if this is what you were trolling for or not but here goes...
Gary "Morals are for men, not gods." Lockwood
[590 steps]
Several directions I could go here, but why not start with:
Wild in the Country
I'll feed you the softball...
Elvis
[592 steps]
Well, that is an easy lob, isn't it?
Love Me Tender
I couldn't think of that many things that Tuesday Weld was in so I figured I play it safe even if it was a lob ball.
Debra Paget
[594 steps]

Major Dundee is another favorite, there are, in truth, a bunch of Chuck movies I like: Ben-Hur, The Ten Commandments, The Greatest Show on Earth but I will go a different route. one that leads to Pennsylvania Ave.

I don't try to justify his crime, his mutiny, but I condemn the tyranny that drove 'im to it. I don't speak here for myself alone or for these men you condemn. I speak in their names, in Fletcher Christian's name, for all men at sea. These men don't ask for comfort. They don't ask for safety. If they could speak to you they'd say, "Let us choose to do our duty willingly, not the choice of a slave, but the choice of free Englishmen." They ask only the freedom that England expects for every man. If one man among you believe that - *one man* - he could command the fleets of England, He could sweep the seas for England. If he called his men to their duty not by flaying their backs, but by lifting their hearts... their... That's all.

Ha, got one!Did you know that when casting his planned Davy Crockett episode of the Disneyland television series, Walt Disney viewed the film to see James Arness, who had been recommended for the role. However, Disney was more impressed by a scene with Fess Parker as an inmate in a mental ward of the Texas hospital. Watching Parker's performance, Disney realized he had found his Davy Crockett. John Wayne saw the film and, impressed with Arness' performance, recommended him for the role of Marshal Matt Dillon in the new
Gunsmoke TV series, a role that Arness went on to play from 1955 to 1975.
Them! was released in June 1954 and by the end of that year had accrued $2.2 million (US) in distributors' domestic (U.S. and Canada) rentals, making it the year's 51st biggest earner and Warner's highest grossing picture of the year.
It was nominated for an Oscar for Best Special Effects, apparently 1954 audiences who had grownup on the stop motion animation in
King Kong found the giant ants more terrifying because they were full sized mechanicals rather than animated minatures.
It is really tempting to go with Fess Parker or James Arness but both are basically TV guys, though each has been in a few movies, and...
Edmund Gwen...is probably much safer.

If you had seen it you would know at least one person who was in it. Hopefully someone else has seen this version. I would hate to think I crashed a thread with over 1000 steps in it on Samuel L. Jackson. I was shooting for a film that Jackson was actually the star of as opposed to one he is in, he is in a million of'em especially if you count the Marvel cameos, maybe I should have gone with
Snakes on a Plane . But I haven't seen that one.
Okay this time I am going obvious...

I figure all Gamers are swashbucklers at heart and nobody could buckle a swash like Flynn. Come on, he runs around in
The Adventures of Don Juan with a rag tied around his head and looks totally natural doing it. Tie a rag around Kevin Costner's head and all he'll look is dufus! The only one who came close to Flynn was Tyrone Power and he was a distant second. IMO.
I just always saw Errol Flynn as an over-actor of sorts. Didn't mind watching him, but never was a real fan.

The Adventures of Robin Hood I didn't realize that Lady Marion was riding on Trigger in the Sherwood forest ambush scene until someone, sorry I don't remember who, mentioned it here in Dreamlyrics. Of course he wasn't named Trigger back then, he was born Golden Cloud, and was given the stage name Trigger when Roy Rogers bought him in 1943.

Oh, and

One of the best things about Nathan is that he is really like that in real life or at least the persona he puts on at conventions is much the same as Castle's. And when him and Adam Baldwin are together clearly they are having fun and not just collecting a paycheck and a free meal. Another person who is great fun at conventions and perhaps a little more surprisingly so (because of the characters he tends to play) is Jason Momoa. He tends to light up a Stargate panel much the same way Nathan and Adam do do the Firefly ones.

One of the very rare instances where I like the movie better than the book. Of course it might just be because in the movie Billy Chapel's team is The Detroit Tigers and in the book they are the Atlanta Braves. Also the film boils the story down to its essentials.
Ironically enough, after the passage 19 years and two world series appearances, the Tigers are back to being crappy enough that they are willing to trade away their stars in order to rebuild.

Well, Don, I much prefer the Atlanta Braves to the Tigers.

I haven't seen this one yet but I know from the trailers that...
Mila Kunis
is in it.
[1562 steps]
another one I haven't seen but I know...
Kristen Bell
...who is from Detroit (Huntington Woods, one of the monied suburbs actually) is in the Bad Moms franchise and the reason I know is that one of my FTF friends likes to point out how it is funny/weird/odd that she is playing a mom these days.
Yes, I know she is one in real life, but we still remember her in Polish Wedding which was filmed in Hamtramck (which is technically not a suburb, even though it has its own mayor, police, etc. because it is totally engulfed by the city of Detroit) twenty years ago.

Amy Adams[1568 steps]
So far I have refused to see this movie, though I may weaken in my resolve someday, but I am still holding out on Suicide Squad, and it doesn't look nearly as bad as Justice League and I will never, ever watch, even for free that Superman/Batman monstrosity! I have avoided it so strenously that I am not even sure of the actual title. I plan to hold out until they get tried of the current batch of actors or decide they are to old and do yet another re-boot. Long story short, even though I haven't seen it I know most of the cast from other DC titles or trailers.
I suppose I don't hate Henry Cavill [believe it or not I didn't hate The Man From U.N.C.L.E., though I had major problems with Illya, and I know at least 4 other movies he has been in but I hate this version of Superman with such a passion that he is out. Ben Affleck, I can take or leave, until someone tries to tell me he is the Dark Knight, at least he's not Micheal Keaton <deep sigh>. The only other movie I know Gal Gadot is in is Wonder Woman (which I liked BTW) but I don't want to make a sideways jump. I have liked Jason Momoa since Stargate: Atlantis but I don't want an Aquaman who is the Sub-mariner dressed in orange. And I believe we used J.K. Simmons recently so lets go with...

i scan the active topics so i usually see whn you guys are thinking you are in trouble or actively seeking help-
Don? Anna Faris? Wow, you turned your superhighway into a one lane country road with this one. She's been in a lot of movies, almost all of them are also one lane roads of generational comedy(often blah ones at that) for the millennials. choose one of those and you might be checkmated in one or two more moves after that.
Anyway... she is , or was, Chris Pratt's wife- divorce should be final by now. Not that that means anything with regard to this game
But she played Kelly in Lost in Translation- which has a couple other notable names in it that open up a wider road to travel
good luck and enjoy
((EDIT))
Hmmm... i might have tripped you guys up. so I am holding this move unless a referee review- I can't find a rules list though for the game- like how many moves before the same name or same movie can be used again?
of course, if someone has a different anna faris movie they want to jump in with, can't stop you- but i do have a 2nd option available.
Jim thanks for lending a hand. The rules are always in the first post, in this case the rules say 4 steps of space and Bill Murray was 6 steps back but despite the fact that he is a legal move I will say...
Scarlett Johansson
...anyway.
[1640 steps]
One question for clarification: What about looking up a movie they probably weren't in, because you aren't sure whether they were the replacement or the replaced? (Okay, Don Cheadle wasn't in that movie, so I can now name one he was definitely in if no one else names one.)
Once you look up a movie it can't be played. So the situation you described would be legal, so long as you don't play the movie you actually looked up. It is also legal to look up a movie or a movie star once you have thought of it or them but you need to check a date or a spelling.
If someone plays Prince valiant and you want to reply Victor McLaglen but your not sure if it it 'mc' or 'mac' it would be legal to look him up to check but once you look at Prince Valiant you can't decide to play James Mason, or anyone else from that movie instead. If someone played James Mason and you say to yourself **He's in Prince Valiant.** it is legal to then look up Prince Valiant to get the correct year, in order to distinguish which Prince Valiant movie you intend. Again once you look a title up you cannot change your answer even should it turn out to be wrong.
Good play!
I actually like
Volcano despite the 'Hollywood' science and it is mostly because Don Cheadle is so entertaining in it. Gaby Hoffmann is tempting because she might well lead into a baseball movie but I am afraid people won't know who she is by name. so...
Tommy Lee Jones...just because the big name stars don't get played unless I play them.
