Got it! (I hope) The 'burbs - Bruce Dern The Cooler - William H. Macy The Frighteners - Chi McBride From Dusk Till Dawn - Juliette Lewis Green Mile - James Cromwell Grosse Pointe Blank - Jeremy Piven (right person, wrong film) Half Baked - Harland Williams Rushmore - Luke Wilson Serendipity - Bridget Moynihan Bruce Dern, William H. Macy and Harland Williams - Down Persicope Juliette Lewis, Luke Wilson and Jeremy Piven - Old School Bridget Moynihan, Chi McBride, James Cromwell - I, Robot Down Periscope - Rip Torn Old School - Vince Vaughn I, Robot - Alan Tudyk (yay!) All of these were in **Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story**. And here would be where you tell me I went seriously wrong back there somewhere… On the other hand, if I’m right, I’ve got the next one all ready to go. ---

The Green Mile - James Cromwell Serendipity - Bridget Moynahan The Frighteners - Chi McBride All three were in _I, Robot_ with Will Smith. On preview, I see that \*_Lil’ Mahoney_ is a couple of steps ahead of me! ---

**MY TWO CENTS:** In case this is correct, whoever starts the next game should **open a new thread**. I think that this thread is kind of large and keeps new folks from joining in. ---
