No time for another blog; here's a list of highly notable "free download" films.

I tend to confuse Helen Hunt and Jodie Foster.

For some reason, I spent all of "Troy" thinking Saffron Burrows was Connie Nielsen. I really shoulda known better -- Nielsen's never been that scary-skinny -- but Connie does look completely different in every film she does, so it didn't seem out of the realm of possibility.

This list was originally titled 'actors I inexplicably confuse' - that title fits my lemmon and fonda confusions pretty well.

I had to change a crappy, old, archived list into this new list because creating a new list normally would require "proper" tags. Apparently, the semicolons in the URL link to One Week don't pass the test. That's why there are posts above that don't have anything to do with "Free Films Galore."
