    Close enough as The Lake House is originally Korean. I watched The Departed earlier which influenced the question.
    All yours...

    Damascus Cover; The 420 Movie (Mary and Jane)...

    This is also a who links and why question. Two common threads to these films that I'm looking for...

    Interesting thought, though your avatar is more Bristols than crystals.

    In Familia
    Charlotte
    Operation Mincemeat

    That leaves just one more film, I believe at time of writing, which ought to give the answers away as if by magic.

    Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is the last film on my list. That's the one that binds the others together and is the key to the answers I am looking for.

    As a point of order, technically it should be Kaena: The Prophecy but I wasn't aware of that when I set the question. Mea culpa!

    Eye in the Sky - Alan Rickman
    About Time - Richard Griffiths
    In Love with Alma Cogan - Roger Lloyd-Pack
    Is Anybody There - Elizabeth Spriggs
    Damascus Cover - John Hurt
    The 420 Movie (Mary and Jane) - Troy Verne
    In Familia - Robert Hardy
    Charlotte - Helen McRory
    Operation Mincemeat - Paul Ritter

    All actors and actresses that had a significant role in the Harry Potter franchise, and these were their last film roles: Richard Harris was replaced as Dumbledore by Michael Gambon having died after completing the second film.

    Over to someone else.

    Seeing as no-one else wants to jump in...

    Which football club, founded 4 years after Watford, is named after a meeting place for women?

    I can't think of any teams associated with kitchens, cafes, maternity wards, or shops, so I'm flummoxed :emoticon-0112-wonde
