And M. Emmet Walsh fits in there somewhere.

382

Emmet Walsh from "Clean and Sober"Geena Davis from “Quick Change” Tim Matheson from “A Very Brady Sequel” = “Fletch”–Richard Libertini

Peter MacNicol from "Ghostbusters 2"Goldie Hawn from “Everybody Says I Love You” Dana Delany from “Wide Awake” = “House Sitter”–Steve Martin

I’m trying to figure out who goes with Nick Nolte, but is the movie All Of Me?

383

You’re correct on Steve Martin. And the other movie is Fletch.

384

Which leaves Chevy Chase, so the movie is probably Three AmigosBut I can’t put Nick Nolte together with anyone from Pope of Greenwich Village or FBDO!

385

It can be done. :slight_smile:

386

Martin Short?

387

Yep. So just link back through Pope and Ferris and Bob’s your uncle.

388

Missing from FB’sDO is Alan Ruck
Missing from PoGV is Kenneth McMillan
both of whom were in the Three Fugitves with Nick Nolte
where we get Martin Short who with Chevy Chase (from Fletch) and Steve Martin were

The Three Amigos! (turn and cough)

389

have i mentioned i LOVE this game?
I’ll work on another one for tomorrow - but if someone else has one ready to go, post away

390

Correct! Although it should be mentioned that want2know did the bulk of the work on this. But it’s supposed to be a cooperative game, to props all around.

The hint I was going to drop was that in all of the missing elements there at the end, each movie in question was about 3 people (perfect for this game!), and that each missing actor was on of those three people.

Three Amigos.
Three Fugatives.
Thre safe crackers.
Three school skippers.

Nice work on a fairly hard puzzle.

391

I’m glad you do! Seeing as how it filled 8 pages in less than 24 hours, I’d call it a success.

I actually just thought it up in a few minutes, although I wondered for weeks how I could turn Capricorn One into a game.

I was originally thinking of some sort of scavenger hunt/six degrees combo. One in which I would occasional drop new hints. Like “An actor mentioned in today’s Globe was in a movie with an actor mentioned in a Pit thread from yesterday, with an additional hint in John Mace’s sig line. That movie is not playing on A&E this week”, or something like that. I wanted to plan it to last several weeks.

If someone wants to make up a game like that, I’ll play it.

392

well, maybe not that convoluted, but here’s a new list for this game
now I’m going to sleep - I’ll catch you all up tomorrow afternoon, so don’t rush

Jane Alexander
Dan Aykroyd
Wilford Brimley
T K Carter
Alan Cumming
Olivia d’Abo
Rosario Dawson
Johnny Depp
Sally Field
Julie Hagerty
Robert Hayes
Anne Heche
Howard Hesseman
James Earl Jones
Bruno Kirby
Andrew McCarthy
Kevin Nealon
Paul Newman
Kevin Pollack
Tara Reid
Molly Ringwald
Adam Sandler
James Spader
Robert Stack
Meryl Streep
Carl Weathers
JoBeth Williams

(see? I alphabetized them by LAST name this time :D)

by the way - this will probably be an easy round

393

I’m glad that somone finally included the great Kevin Pollack. Now if we could get a bit of a certain Mr. Rebhorn into the mix…

Julie Hagerty
Robert Hayes
Robert Stack

Shirley you can’t be serious? Spoken by the excellent Leslie Nielson, I’m guessing.

Beddy-bye time for me too. Over the past few nights, I’ve been thinking of the Robin Williams/Hillary Swank/Al Pacino movie. It’s been keeping me up nights.

394

Not to retread an old puzzle, but be honest–you looked at this last part of this and looked around for Minnie Driver and Ian Holm, right? Right?

395

right movie, wrong actor

and yeah - thought Minnie was in there somewhere, but hadn’t considered Ian

396

OK, Carl Weathers (STEVE HOLT!), Adam Sandler, and Kevin Nealon were in Little Nicky.

Molly Ringwald, James Spader, and Andrew McCarthy were all Pretty. In Pink.

397

The movies so far:

Pretty in Pink
Little Nicky
Airplane!

The revised actor list:

Jane Alexander
Dan Aykroyd
Wilford Brimley
T K Carter
Alan Cumming
Olivia d’Abo
Rosario Dawson
Johnny Depp
Sally Field
Anne Heche
Howard Hesseman
James Earl Jones
Bruno Kirby
Paul Newman
Kevin Pollack
Tara Reid
Meryl Streep
JoBeth Williams

398

Bruno Kirby, Anne Heche, and Johnny Depp were in Donnie Brasco.

399

HOLD IT RIGHT THERE
“Little Nicky” is INCORRECT

However “Pretty in Pink” & Donnie Brasco are

so the revised list is

Jane Alexander
Dan Aykroyd
Wilford Brimley
T K Carter
Alan Cumming
Olivia d’Abo
Rosario Dawson
Sally Field
Howard Hesseman
James Earl Jones
Kevin Nealon
Paul Newman
Kevin Pollack
Tara Reid
Adam Sandler
Meryl Streep
Carl Weathers
JoBeth Williams

and the movies so far are

Airplane!
Pretty in Pink
Donnie Brasco

any level two actor guesses?

400

Alan Cumming, Rosario Dawson and Tara Reid were in Josie & The Pussycats. At at guess, the 4th is Rachel Leigh Cook.

I think James Earl Jones, Kevin Pollak and Olivia d’Abo were all in Clean Slatep, although I’m kind of embarrassed to admit that one. Dana Carvey as the 4th then?
