Return of the 27-9-3 movie game, Game Room inaugural edition

The Rules:

Phase One:

Organize the twenty-seven actors into nine groups of three each. For each group, name a movie that they were all in. Come up with a fourth actor for each movie. This will give you nine new actors.

Phase Two:

Organize the nine new actors into three groups of three, as in phase one. Come up with a fourth actor for each movie. This will give you three new actors.

Phase Three:

What movie were they all in?

Gillian Anderson
Jennifer Aniston
Jason Bonham
Nicolas Cage
Blythe Danner
Johnny Depp
Laura Dern
Leonardo DiCaprio
Denholm Elliott
Jason Flemyng
Harrison Ford
Estelle Getty
Crispin Glover
Heather Graham
Martin Landau
William H Macy
Julianne Moore
Rosie Perez
Paul Reubens
Burt Reynolds
John Rhys-Davies
Kevin Spacey
Ben Stiller
Eric Stoltz
Benicio Del Toro
Stanley Tucci
Frank Whaley

My free bump comes with a hint. A phase 2 actor is Mark Wahlberg. Yes, there are a couple of ways he could fit in. Only one is correct.

I always love this game. Pretty tricky putting Blythe Danner and Ben Stiller in there and having four actors who have all appeared in the same movie. Anyway, with liberal use of IMDB . . .

First grouping of actors and the 9 movies they are in
SPOILER:

Gillian Anderson
Blythe Danner
Martin Landau
The X-Files Movie

Jennifer Aniston
Jason Bonham
Jason Flemyng
Rock Star

Nicolas Cage
Rosie Perez
Stanley Tucci
It Could Happen to You

Johnny Depp
Leonardo DiCaprio
Crispin Glover
What's Eating Gilbert Grape

Laura Dern
Estelle Getty
Eric Stoltz
Mask

Denholm Elliott
Harrison Ford
John Rhys-Davies
Raiders of the Lost Ark

Heather Graham
Julianne Moore
Burt Reynolds
Boogie Nights

William H. Macy
Paul Reubens
Ben Stiller
Mystery Men

Kevin Spacey
Benicio Del Toro
Frank Whaley
Swimming with Sharks


The extra actors in those 9 movies
SPOILER:

The X-Files - David Duchovny
Rock Star - Mark Wahlberg
It Could Happen to You - Seymour Cassell (serious cheating on this one; i recognize him from this movie, but had no idea what his name was or that he was in the movie for the next round)
What's Eating Gilbert Grape - Juliet Lewis
Mask - Cher
Raiders of the Lost Ark - Karen Allen
Boogie Nights - John C. Reilly
Mystery Men - Greg Kinnear
Swimming with Sharks - Michelle Forbes


Second grouping of actors and the 3 movies they are in
SPOILER:

David Duchovny
Juliet Lewis
Michelle Forbes
Kalifornia

Mark Wahlberg
Karen Allen
John C. Reilly
The Perfect Storm

Seymour Cassell
Cher
Greg Kinnear
Stuck on You


And finally, the extra actors for those 3 movies and the movie they were in together
SPOILER:
