'Catch & Release': William H. Orr as "Special Effects Coordinator" (valid due to the absence of a "Special Effects Supervisor").

'Cousins': William H. Orr as "Special Effects Supervisor".

'Excess Baggage': William H. Orr as "Special Effects".

'Night at the Museum': William "Bill" Orr as "Special Effects Coordinator" (valid due to the absence of a "Special Effects Supervisor").

Note the difference in quotes between the latter and the 'Battle of the Smithsonian' credit you confirmed.

Double Jeopardy: William Orr
Cool Runnings: Bill Orr
My one wish for the DVD Profiler online database: Ban or remove the disc-level profiles of TV season sets. It completely screws up/inflates the CLT.
FACT: Imdb is WRONG 70% of the time! Misspelled cast, incomplete cast, wrong cast/crew roles. So for those who want DVD Profiler to be "as perfect as Imdb", good luck with that.
Stop adding UNIT crew! They're invalid credits. Stop it!

The Aviator (Special Effects)
Bingo (SE Supervisor)
Blood River
The Boy Who Could Fly (Head Special Effects)
Distant Thunder (Special Effects)

The Exorcism of Emily Rose
I'll Be Home for Christmas
Maria Chapdelaine (Special Effects)
Mr. Magoo

I'm really glad all are confirmed, so I don't have to after a really long working day.

Van? As in a vehicle?
Are there any other special effects credits?
