OK, so it seems we’re still on **King Ralph** , yes? How about taking a different path with this, on the distaff side, as it were. **Judy Parfitt** (Sorry, was just looking up some costuming stuff for a renfaire question and I’m still somewhat in mode.) 🙂 ---

Yikes. Okay – Peter O’Toole has been played: Troy and Man of La Mancha are both okay. For Judy Parfitt, a movie I liked very much: **Wilde**. ---

Welcome, **MetroGnome**! (Excellent username, btw!) **Maureen** (ahem!) sent us down the wrong track at #411 – I believe with 30+ posts we generally say “screw it” rather than attempt a redo. Let me put it this way: since I’ve appointed myself the maker of the “oops – no, these plays are legal” lists, I think we should let it go. Let’s get another vote on this, though. ---

In one of these previous threads I’d proposed an arbitrary “if no one catches it by ten posts later, it sticks” rule. I’d suggest we stay with that. Somebody keep an eye on Mo. 🙂 ---

I just entered _Good Will Hunting_ into the box, only to be greeted with the **Error: Web Site Not Responding** screen. So if that film’s been played already, I apologize. Otherwise, it’s my choice. ---

Error message perhaps because you had two four-letter (too-short) words? I searched “hunting” and it looks like you’re good. ---
