So far, the following films are correct:Girl Interrupted Dune Used People Heaven’s Gate King of the Gypsies is correct, but one of the actors is not.The only correct actor is Jessica Tandy. ---

Ed O’Neill, Chris Walken, and Tom Berenger were in The Dogs of War. I’m guessing the 4th person is JoBeth Williams. ---

Hopkins and Waterston were in Nixon, but I can’t figure out a 3rd actor. Am I barking up the wrong movie? ---

Here is a partial cast listing for Heaven’s Gate: Christopher Walken \*Sam Waterston Brad Dourif \*Isabelle Huppert \*Jeff Bridges I’m going to guess that the ones I’ve starred are the correct ones. ---

> [@tdn](#): > > Hopkins and Waterston were in Nixon, but I can’t figure out a 3rd actor. Am I barking up the wrong movie? Oops, brain flatulation! Let’s back up a bit:Heaven’s Gate is right, but one of the actors is wrong. King of the Gypsies is right, but one of those actors is also wrong. Since “Dogs of War” is correct, that should help with one of them. Sorry!And, tdn, “Nixon” is incorrect. ---

Kirkland, Oldman, and Pesci were in JFK. I’m guessing Costner for the 4th. ---
