I’m going to say I got that one wrong, so have another DQ. I didn’t see the movie and didn’t know the answer. All I had heard was a current NBA player played themself, and I went with the first K name I could think of.

By my count SCAdian and De_Le_Rue both have 2 outstanding DQs.

199

A Hitchcock film from 1951-1960.

Possibly Strangers on a Train, Vertigo, North by Northwest, Rear Window, Psycho and others I’m not remembering right now.

200

Dial M for Murder and The Man Who Knew Too Much as well. Maybe more.
