But it does have rather an impressive cast for a pile of shite! No, there was a mistake before, so we’re on _Forbidden Planet_. Which if my experiences with _Rocky Horror Picture Show_ are recalled correctly, stars Ann(e) Francis. But I’m going with **Leslie Nielsen** , who I don’t believe has yet been played. ---

I know we don’t do sequels – what’s the rule on remakes? Because we did the Tim Burton _Planet of the Apes_\*. And we did **Cleopatra**. And, speaking of Liz Taylor, I’m not gonna inflict _National Velvet_ on you. Damn that man’s been in a lot of films! Let’s go with an easy play: **A Bug’s Life** ---

Dave Foley played a dick in that Bob Haldeman film – whoops, I mean Bob Haldeman in that film known simply as _Dick_. ---

> [@Sternvogel](#): > > I’d have guessed **Roddy McDowall** had made his appearance in this thread by now, but a search on his name said otherwise. He was actually played early on in this round, but with his last name spelled incorrectly. Since it’s a couple of days since this play and he was played very early (second day of this round) and the player attempted a search, I think it’s easiest to just stick with where we’ve gotten ourselves by now. ---

> [@Gfactor](#): > > \*\*Teri Garr \*\* BTW, I’ve recently seen her name spelled “Gar” in some mainstream media, so I checked in IMDB and it lists her as Gar. And I was going to play _Young Frankenstein_, but I did that one last round, and then I thought about _Mr. Mom_, but it’s not searchable, so let’s go with the less well known _After Hours_ instead. She somehow made cans and cans of Aqua Net erotic in that one. ---
