Nothing with "Lord" or "Rings" in it.

Stuff with "Star" and "Wars" are good, as well as "Great" and "Escape". And techincally Shawshanks that have been redeemed. Maybe I'll play with a Gladiator or two. And hell, #5 is anyone with Mr. Bond in it. And I mean the real Bond, Mr. Connery.

I dunno, I can't really remember that many, come to think of it...
