I name two or more actors or actresses and you have to name two or more movies that they appeared in together. If you’re the first one to get it right, you get to go next. If more than one person gets the answer, the first one will be the next one up. If you have the correct answer, you need to put up your two actors with your answer, not in a seperate post. No fair using IMDB to look up answers. Let’s see if this works. It’s like this - I’ll start with an easy one: **Bruce Willis** and **Samuel Jackson** ---

I realize those might be hard, as none of the movies were huge Hollywood blockbusters. But before I do that, what sorts of hints would you like that wouldn’t just be answers? I can’t think of any decent hints. OK, here are two hints on Turturro-Watson: One movie takes place during the 1930s, the other is about a chess match. ---

I _was_ posting that Turturro & Watson were in _The Luzhin Defense_ together. Not sure about the 1930s movie (she wasn’t in _Miller’s Crossing_, was she?) And Miranda Otto was Eowyn in the LotR movies, if that helps anyone. ---

And Rhys Ifans was in Notting Hill. He played Spike. In the interest of moving the game along, let’s leave these as bonus questions. Here’s an easier one: Danny DeVito and Bette Midler ---
