Well let's go with the one that made me stumble... THE THREE MUSKETEERS (1993)

Well, I'm not as familiar with it as the Disney variant, but I did read the previous thread...

Oliver Platt

He was in Flatliners (1990)

The original Flatliners? That had Kevin Bacon.

Animal House

Donald Sutherland

Backdraft

Kurt Russell

Captain Ron

Martin Short!

Father of the Bride!

Steve Martin

The Three Amigos

Chevy Chase

Foul Play

Goldie Hawn

While I am tempted to go with Seems Like Old Times, Goldie was also amazing in The First Wives Club

Yay, a chance to reference Dame Maggie Smith!

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone!

I loved the cameo of John Cleese as Nearly Headless Nick.

He reprised the role in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, but I LOVED him in Fierce Creatures.

That had Jamie Lee Curtis in it

Got to do it....

Halloween

Donald Pleasence

You Only Live Twice

Sean Connery

RIP Sean. You're a legend.

The Hunt For Red October

One of my submarine colleagues had a license plate: 1PNGNLY.

James Earl Jones was good in that.

James Earl Jones is a legend!

Coming to America

Cuba Gooding Jr was in that one!

You sure, Mina? I guess it was pre-Boyz n The Hood.

Oh! Boyz n The Hood. Great soundtrack btw. Still have it on CD.

I remember reading about him getting his start in that movie!

I only know one other actor in Boyz, but know he was in a few later movies.

Ice Cube

Anaconda

Oh boy!

J-Lo

She voiced a character in Home.

Captain Smek was voiced by Steve Martin

*bops Mina with the shusher*

Also goes out on a limb with an under-appreciated movie: Mixed Nuts

Perhaps that was not a good limb to go out on.

I know I have seen the movie, but for the life of me I can't even recall what it was about.

A rather messed up Christmas holiday involving crazy in-laws and police involvement. I think National Lampoon's take on a Christmas holiday is funnier, but I found it much more entertaining than most other people, I suppose.

It did feature some A-list comedians, that I had hoped others might know.

Adam Sandler

Drew Barrymore, of course!

Bill Murray

With Bill Murray, who ya gonna call? GHOSTBUSTERS!

Rick Moranis

Club Paradise

mid 80s... robin williams... but mina is right, a couple others would give options as well... couple of sctv veterans that everyone knows, but robin williams is the easiest.

Mrs. Doubtfire

Hellloooooooo!

Sally Field starred opposite Robin.

Norma Rae

<Shrug> the only one I know from that one is Sally Field, but she is the one that go us here, so can't use her.

Same here, Mina.

saw this movie or most of it as a kid. and, as a kid, it was boring to me. there were no colonial warriors or x wings, nor any klingon d7 battlecruisers.

but i remember sally field because i watched the flying nun show... and while i couldn't have placed this guy to save my life back then... i remembered him when he took over command of the SGU after the passing of Don Davis.

Beau Bridges

The Fabulous Baker Boys... literally the only film I remember him from.

Wasn't his brother Jeff Bridges in that with him?

Hehe. Yeah, easy one.

Iron Man

Bonus point Festive challenge!!

Can we stay with a Christmas theme all the way until Boxing Day?

Gwyneth Paltrow

Let it be said that without the Christmas challenge I would have gone with Shakespeare in Love.

But Christmas? How about we honor Charles Dickens with Great Expectations!

(The 1998 version, to be precise.)

Yikes! I know a few actors in that one but I have to think of the Christmas movie afterwards.

Anne Bancroft!

Home for the Holidays!

I don't think we made it. But we had fun trying!

New game for the new year?

Nice idea!

Sorry, I think Home for the Holidays had Robert Downey Jr. in it?

It did! And it's Boxing day so I think we're released from the Christmas theme requirement?

Let's open this up with a smorgasbord of leftovers:

The Avengers.

Who else is worth of note other than... STAN LEE!

So many cameos to choose from!

Avengers: Endgame.

Zoe Saldana!

She was in Avatar.

No help from me on this one, I've done my best to blank that one from my memory

Sigourney Weaver

Galaxy Quest!

Tim Allen

Toy Story

Tom Hanks!

Saving Mr. Banks!

Dame Emma Thompson

Well she saw the Grim in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

I still think that was the best of the eight films!

I also think Dame Maggie Smith is one of the best actresses in film or TV!

She was also in all of the Harry Potter movies... but she was also in Death on the Nile (1978)

You did read the part where you're supposed to pick movies that others can guess, not stump them, right?

Aqua... I did? It's a classic. Please tell me I am not the only Agatha Christie fan on here? It has a lot of big name stars in it....

I'll trust you that I'm just out of the loop.

Aqua, it is not cheating if you go onto Amazon and watch the movie and then name another actor

For those who don't want to scroll... the movie we are playing off of is Death on the Nile (1978)

LOL, do we have to not wath the credits?

Sean Connery was the Colonel in one of them, I remember that much.

Neil- sean connery was in 'Murder on the orient express'- was that an official guess on your part? in his defense, it seems Neil sort of hedged his bets by saying that SC was in 'one of them'.

if it's not official, then I can name about 5 different people in Death on the Nile

David Niven

(or maybe Angela Lansbury, or George Kennedy, or Bette Davis, or Peter Ustinov) but the official guess would be David Niven

The Bishop's Wife

Aye, PP, I was thinking of Agatha Christie movies of the Seventies. So pure guess.

Neil- I figured as much. this genre was a big one for as a boy in 70s- my parents watched these movies and i loved Ustinov as Hercule Poirot- the right mix of comedy and serious crime solving. We also watched a lot of columbo growing up as well. I enjoyed movies in this vein, even the sillier ones too.


Ken????? The Bishop's wife- You're killing us! Hah!

that movie is from the 40s... without Don or Exeter playing this will be a real test for the rest of us... I know one name from this movie(and it wasn't David Niven), only because it was played before on DL, a few years back, and i was at a loss then, but one of the above mentioned guys knew it... in fact those two could keep us in the 40s 50s and 60s for several rounds at a time... Let's see if anyone has anything before I play again

Lol, I actually watch The Bishop's Wife every year around Christmas! And I know a lot of people in it... including one of my favorite actresses, Elsa Lanchester!

She was one of the nannies who quit in Mary Poppins! (See, I always bring it back to Disney.)

Glynis Johns played Mrs. Banks.

Okay, going to take you guys way way back.

Bride of Frankenstein (1935)

I remember watching that movie with my brother when I was about five years old, laying on our stomachs in front of the old black and white television at night.

I think we might be broken... I don't think Glynis Johns was in BoF?

No, Glynis Johns was not in that movie... but Elsa Lanchester was (as Mary Shelley) so maybe Ken misread the board.

So are we starting a new game?

By the way, as I type this it's 9:21:21 pm on the US West Coast. That's the 21st second of the 21st minute of the 21st hour of the 21st day of the 21st year of the 21st century.
