With the second _Yesterday_ disqualified, we’re short a **Y** film. We also have only eight **R** flicks for some reason. I can’t help with the first of these, but I can add _Rope_ to the second.

As for **U** , there must be a _Ulysses_ out there…

Definitely. It had Kirk Douglas in the title role.
