Round 43!
FIGHT!!
Here are the rules as composed originally by Don, iirc.
Player one: Star Wars, Player Two: Mark Hamil, Player Three: Corvette Summer, Player Four: Annie Potts, Player Five: Ghostbusters, etc., etc.
[nemarsde tweak]No repeats within 5 steps and avoid getting caught in a loop with MCU or Fast & Furious movies, for example. Long-running franchises with ensemble casts can allow you go round and round indefinitely.[/nemarsde tweak]
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.
And I just watched this yesterday...
Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
Wow, a veritable smörgåsbord of names! But which names appeared in other films with well known casts? Hmm.
I'll go with the obvious. Lee Marvin.
What are the rules if you remember the character but not the title of the movie?
Well, that makes my question moot. And I have never heard of that movie.
Well he was Apollo Creed in at least a few of the Rocky movies but I think the jump to other actors would be easier for his voice role in
Toy Story 4
You know, as the saying goes, Earth Girls Are Easy
Classic!
Jeff Goldblum
First movie I remember him from, Clueless
Yikes!
Well, Alicia Silverstone was the star of that one but from there I don't know where!
She was Batgirl in
Batman and Robin (1997).
Note the year so you get the right set of characters for the series.
I used to have a crush on Chris O'Donnell who played Dick Grayson in that one a.k.a Robin! And personally, going with the two main stars, I think it should have been called Robin and Batman, but that is just me I suppose!
The highlight of Chris's career was probably early on in Scent of a Woman.
I don't think he ever did as well in later films.
He found his way into the star-studded Ocean's Thirteen, helping (along with other stars) to make up for massive plot holes.
I was deeply scarred by the rip-off that was Ocean's Twelve so haven't seen Thirteen.
Brad Pitt's a good bet though.
He was in Allied with....
Marion Cotillard, who's a very beautiful lady but I don't recall her in many other English-language films. She'll always be Lily from the Taxi series to me!
So I think that means I can't say "Taxi" for the movie?
Best not to, since no-one will know who else was in the movie.
But superhero movies, dream movies, all good bets, I'd say.
Probably not Movie 43, though. I have no clue so I'll grab some popcorn.
"Marion Cotillard, who's a very beautiful lady but I don't recall her in many other English-language films."
Not a clue who she is...

I rewatched Inception on NetFlix recently and think that is her in it.
I rewatched Inception on NetFlix recently and think that is her in it.
I typed "inception marion" into a search engine and it autofilled a scene the web thinks I should watch. So I think you're right.
And I thought it was a repeat but must have been last game so we're safe to go to the king of the world:
Leonardo DiCaprio
Batman Begins, Inception and Allied, probably Marion Cottilard's most famous roles outside of France. But she did win the 2007 Academy Award for Best Actress so it's not like she's a nobody.
Anyhoo, Leo!
I rewatched this one the other day and although I enjoyed it, I didn't remember it being so looong!
Blood Diamond
Gah. I can picture the other male lead and know other movies he's been in but I'm blanking on his name.
I think i know the name you are seeking, but i'm not sure... what I do know is this...
Mina will surely recognize the name of the female lead in the movie...
Jennifer Connelly
She was in Labyrinth! Thanks Jim! WOOOOO love that movie!
David Bowie is a better musician than actor, but he's a better musician than just about anything, so that's not a criticism.
well, i knew this was going this direction... really what other choice was there? Bowie only did... what 5 or 6 films I think... I got us in in this little hole so I will offer the only other movie I can remember... I hope you guys will know it...
The Hunger(from the early to mid 80s--- oh this is a decadent nod to the 80s in every conceivable way... plus there's a vampire as well...
OK. This is going to sound like an incredibly chauvenistic comment but you have to understand it comes from the perspective of a horny teenager watching that film for the first time... Didn't Susan Sarandon get her kit off in that film?
Susan Sarandon was also played Janet in... The Rocky Horror Picture Show with.... (waits with antici ....... pation)
Should I go with another musician who I might see by the dashboard lights? No? Yeah, I don't remember any other movies he was in.
But I do know another movie (or a few) that Tim Curry was in.
The Expendables 2
Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindlewald!
Fantastic Beasts - and Where to Find Them
(sorry but it is the only place I really know him from)
(sorry but it is the only place I really know him from)
You didn't swoon over him as Marius in Les Miz?
Fine, I'll exit the Rowling loop and go with Johnny Depp.
I never saw Miz?
Johnny was in one of my favs... Murder on the Orient Express 2017
You mean.. LeFou in Beauty and the Beast 2017?
Yes, although I prefer him as Olaf. Or on broadway as Elder Cunningham.
Dan Stevens played the Beast in that, by the way.
I loved him in Downton (but that does not work because it is a series)
I loved him in Legion (but that does not work because it is a series)
So I guess I have to go with Blithe Spirit (2020)
Oh man, that was a disappointing film. It just lacked... zest, energy?
Anyway, Dame Judi Dench was in it but had very little do to, bless her.
Blithe was disappointing, especially since earlier versions were so amazing! Dame Judi was in Artemis Fowl.
A good choice, Dugan. Plenty of options but I think the best bet is...
Christopher Walken
He was in Blast from the Past
His best film is easily The Quiet American (2002), alongside famous older actor...
Famous actor of the older generation, nominated for an Academy Award for his role in this Vietnam film? Anyone?
Are you fishing for Michael Caine by any chance?
I've liked all of his films involving magic, including Now You See Me
Isla Fisher was in that one!
And she was in Blithe Spirit too, huh, but since we've had that flick I'll pick her voice work in Rango. Possibly my favourite computer animated feature film.
Mr. Depp voiced the title character in that, but we used him shortly before Blithe Spirit so to avoid a repeat, how about Abigail Breslin?
She was in the Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement
Anne Hathaway starred in that, but my favorite role of hers was in ...
Obviously your fav movie with Anne was Hustle right?
Well, she was sorta hustling customers to save her daughter in Les Miz, but not what I meant.
Urgh, that film was not nearly as funny as it thought it was!
Rebel Wilson then.
She was in Isn't It Romantic? along side....
OK, well that was a Netflix exclusive movie so I'm gambling on you knowing another, more recent Netflix exclusive starring Priyanka Chopra.
??? Isn't it Romantic was released in theaters.
Ah, mystery solved, Mina. Netflix had the international distribution rights, so in the UK it was a Netflix exclusive.
It isn't looking good for Mrs Chopra Jonas!
She was in some other NetFlix show about adolescent super heroes that was so bad, I have forgotten the title. I think her name was the only big name in it, so it will just mean a dead end if I ever remember the name of that movie.
I know of a Bollywood super hero franchise she was in but that's probably not the one you mean.
How about a Hollywood remake of an iconic Nineties TV show?
It's round 43, can I just guess Movie 43 and kill the round? No? OK.
Well we've given Priyanka four days but she just hasn't broken through.
The Netflix exclusive I was thinking of was White Tiger, released recently, but she's probably best known in the West for her role in the Baywatch remake. In that jade dress!
