We're getting close. We need a second movie for Poitier (THE DEFIANT ONES) and Freeman (DRIVING MISS DAISY).
Spoiler
(WARNING: Politically incorrect stereotype) Maybe they were in THE COLOR PURPLE.
Ditto for Taylor (WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF?) and Hoffman (KRAMER VS. KRAMER). A PLACE IN THE SUN and STIR CRAZY haven't been used either. The other unused honorees are Spielberg, Pacino and Nichols.

Al Pacino was in Ocean's 13. Wasn't he also in Dick Tracy?

Well, yeah, he was kinda the main bad guy in that movie.

I believe that completes another fine Tangredi game.

Thanks for another fun game, Frank! Some of the answers were easy enough that even I could get them.

The most challenging part of putting this game together was making sure John Williams only overlapped once with Spielberg and once with Lucas. Hence, the necessity for including THX 1138 and The Color Purple. I could have used American Graffiti for Lucas ... except for Harrison Ford.

It's one of my major forms of fun. But you should see the charts.

To me, the most fun Tangredi games are the most challenging ones. Ones that require a lot of teamwork and leave everybody thoroughly satisfied after solving them. The easy ones feel boring and seem to go by too quickly. I always want something meaty and complex--like a Uwe Rosenberg board game, but without the $200 price tag.

All of the above applies whether I am the host or a player.

lol - I imagine you with one of those boards with the red string maze...or maybe four or five boards...
