My actor is [Phoebe Cates](http://imdb.com/name/nm0000121/) . Hot, but kind of boring. My movie is [The Soldier’s Courtship](http://imdb.com/title/tt0000121/) which is apparently the very first non-documentary film made in the UK, in 1896. Cool, I suppose, but I never heard of it. I was hoping for Elvis and Highlander. 😉 ---

I think I’m in the running for most unpronouceable IMDB doppelganger: [Ara Babadzhanyan](http://imdb.com/name/nm0044721/) . My movie match is apparantly an old [Mel Blanc short, Hoppy-Go-Lucky](http://imdb.com/title/tt0044721/). ---

Ok, that was weird. Those weren’t for me. My move is [http://imdb.com/title/tt0054286/](http://imdb.com/title/tt0054286/) Seishun zankoku monogatari Described as Misanthropic and Dull My actor is the same as my previous post. Evidently, if I put in my correct number 54286, Imdb switches it to 54270, hence the confusion. Silly me, thinking that what I type is what I get. Don’t forget, imdb was started by a group of friends. So they assigned the original numbers probably. The history of the imdb is pretty interesting. ---
