Movies Trivial Pursuit Game

Yeah I got it!

It's Sex and the Single Girl from 1964

Now on to my question:

In the famous end scene in Scarface where Al Pacino (Tony Montana) sits in front of a pile of coke and sniffs it, what was that cocaine in reality according to the crew and Al Pacino?

Powdered milk?

Next one:

James Stewart was the Freshman US senator in "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" (1939).

Can you think of another film in which he was also a senator?

Powdered Milk is wrong.
Try again or shall I answer it?

Powdered sugar?
Vitamin B complex?

No idea!!

Its a secret. Neither Al Pacino nor the Crew answers this question. Al says that he would Destroy other peoples imagination if he would say it.

No, it was in:
La Cité des enfants perdus (1995) aka The City of Lost XXhildren (It seems a little excessive that the word with the 'XX's in it -replace with a 'c'- can't even be mentioned on this site without being censored like this: ****ren. This was the movie that Jeunet et Caro made as their 'follow up' to Delicatessen (1991).

Interesting and valid final point spdspk.
Not wanting to miss out here's another 5:

E.G. Marshall in Superman II (1980)
Jack Nicholson Mars Attacks! (1996)
Josef Sommer in X-Men: The Last Stand (2006)
Stanley Anderson in The Rock (1996)
Mark Harmon in Chasing Liberty (2004)

and I'm sure there are many more.

Easy (for a JS fan): The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.

My question is:

Micheal Keaton (real name Michael Douglas, which he had to change cos Michael Douglas got there first) played the same character in 2 different movies that were NOT sequels and were made by different film makers. Which were the 2 films, NO LOOKING IT UP it's no challenge if you do!

Can you think of another example of this, same actor, same character, non-sequel !!

The obvious answer is the two Batman movies, but that is not so (same director).

Regarding, the second part to your question (without IMDb except for filling the details):

John Wayne in "True Grit" (1971; Henry Hathaway) and "Rooster Cogburn" (1975; Stuart Millar)

Also, Ann Robinson was Sylvia Van Buren in "The War of the Worlds" (1953) and several other movies and TV SciFi episodes. The last movie was "The Naked Monster" (2005).

There must be more!

Next Question

Which swashbuckling British actor had to change his name because it was "James Stewart"?

Hints:

He never liked any of the movies he made except for one: "Saraband for Dead Lovers"

Among his co-stars: Ava Gardner, Deborah Kerr, Jean Simmons and Grace Kelly.

As Ray Nicolette in Jackie Brown (1997; Quentin Tarantino director) and Out of Sight (1998; Steven Soderbergh director).

Michael Keaton was also an American President in the highly forgettable film First Daughter (2004)

Another question on US politics:

Famous actors who were (fictitious) senators in the movies (of course other than James Stewart) - ironically some were British actors.

Damn, I missed all this cos never got the thread has been updated emails, even though I ticked 'Notify me when a reply is posted'.

Batman movies also don't count cos they are sequals. Should I take it that Rooster Cogburn (which I've not seen) is not a sequal to True Grit (which I think is the most over-rated of the classic westerns)?
