Bette had a small part in either Get Shorty or LA Confidential…i think. I can’t remember which…but I don’t know if that would count for the game…kind of like using Val Kilmer for True Romance. I don’t think she was credited, whichever one it was. ---

I just said _appears_ in two or more movies together. By all rights, it’s still tdn’s turn but I’ll add another one just to keep the ball rolling. **Robert Redford** and **Paul Newman** ---

I’ll have to look it up. I’m having trouble coming up with another one that’s not too easy. ---

OK maybe ‘genre’ was too grand a word for ‘eighties teenage angst’. 😉 ---

> [@ShibbOleth](#): > > Okay, got one. How about the ultraliberal Hollywood couple, Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins? **Bull Durham** was obvious, but it took me a while to remember that Susan Sarandon appeared as herself in **The Player.** All righty… let’s try Kevin Costner and Sean Connery. ---

Well, I _think_ that they were both in the truly awful _Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves_. And I know they were both in _The Untouchables_. ---

I can only think of one other Joseph ‘giraffe neck’ Fiennes film so I’ll have to go for **Elizabeth** as a wild stab in the dark even tho’ I haven’t seen it for ages and have no idea if Geoffry Rush was in it.
