I guess there can be more than one way to get to the final answer; I actually had George C. Scott from **Firestarter** , who was also in **Movie Movie** and Diana Scarwid from **Mommie Dearest** , who was in **Pretty Baby** , but your way worked, too, so congrats! ---

And _Jackie Brown_ should have Michael Keaton, Robert Forster and Sid Haig. Starring Pam Grier, of course. ---

> [@Desperate Welfie](#): > > **ShibbOleth,** you got the rest of the movies, but no Pam Grier. Heh, I got all but 2 of the movies on my own, then checked in here and picked up Mouse Hunt and Crimson Tide. Didn’t Quentin Tarantino have a bit part in _Jackie Brown_? Is that who you’re looking for? Otherwise I’ll have to go look and see who else was in that. ---

Also, I want to nominate Val Kilmer from Wonderland. And maybe De Niro from Jackie Brown. And I’ll have one more for you in a sec… ---
