27-9-3 movie game -- again

Cafe Society
1

The rules:

Phase I: Group each of the 27 names into 9 groups of 3 each. Name the movie that all 3 were in. Name a 4th actor from each movie (there is only one right answer, and many wrong ones). This will leave you with 9 names.

Phase II: Group the 9 names into 3 groups of 3, as in phase I. Name a 4th actor, which will give you 3 new names.

Phase III: Group them into 1 group of 3. What is the movie?

So far so good! :slight_smile:

I’m going to give this thread a little push with a hint. Actually, an answer.

The 4th actor in Amadeus is Simon Callow.

6

Should we guess at the fourth actors or have a better idea of how the whole thing fits together??

7

But they’ve been is four different movies together… :eek: :wink:

8

I think I got a start on the next step.

Mystery Men = Geoffrey Rush
Amadeus = Simon Callow
Elizabeth = Joseph Fiennes

They were all in Shakespeare in Love.

9

Wait, I got the others.

Producers = Will Ferrell
Legally Blonde = Luke Wilson
Dodgeball = Vince Vaughn

They were in Old School.

Johnny Dangerously = Michael Keaton
River’s Edge = Keanu Reeves
Glory = Denzel Washington

They were in Much ado about Nothing.

10

Me again. Could be Anchorman instead of Old School.

11

Nope, you were right with Old School.
They were in Old School.
They were in Much ado about Nothing.
They were all in Shakespeare in Love.

Yep, yep, and yep. Good job!

Pick a 4th actor from each of those, and you are well on your way to Phase III.

12

Yes. :wink:

We’e onto Phase III. It should be fairly easy.

13

Aha!

Old School = Elisha Cuthbert
Much Ado About Nothing = Emma Thompson
Shakespeare in Love = Colin Firth

Which brings us to . . .

Love, Actually!

14

Correct, actually.

Great job!
