everyone should post each of their 30 picks for the game here, to facilitate faster perusal and judging - ghost will post the final list, sorted by role
well, i'll start... i tried to match the right person for the right role without so much regard to "screen legend" status - i also tried to play a little game within a game by selecting actors and actresses from a different generation than the original film (with just a few exceptions, i stuck to this) - i played a few safe, took a few calculated risks and had a good time pacing over intense topics like "natalie wood v ashley judd for scarlett?"
i wish their would have been a few more comedy roles and a few more recent roles and a few minority roles, but i suppose that's what rematches are for :D
