Some more I found:

Hayden Rorke and Barton MacLane from I Dream Of Jeannie were both in the movie Pocketful Of Miracles. Rorke and MacLane's IDOJ replacement, Vinton Hayworth, were both in the movie Youngblood Hawke.

Brian Keith and Johnny Whitaker from Family Affair were both in the movie The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming.

Werner Klemperer and Howard Caine from Hogan's Heroes were both in the movie Judgement At Nuremburg.

in addition to Scott Baio and Willie Aames from Charles In Charge, the movie Zapped! also had Sue Ane Langdon and Roger Bowen from the 1970-72 sitcom Arnie.

Sandra Gould and Bernard Fox from Bewitched were in the movie Honeymoon Hotel- of course Fox only appeared occasionally on the aforementioned sitcom. Two others from Bewitched, Alice Ghostley and Alice Pearce, were in the movie My Six Loves-- of course, Pearce died before Ghostley became a regular on Bewitched.

Finally, William Frawley and William Demarest were both in the movie The Farmer's Daughter- a 1940 Martha Raye film, not the 1947 Loretta Young movie that spawned the Inger Stevens TV series; Demarest replaced Frawley on M3S.

Frank Bank, Tony Dow, and Ken Osmond from Leave It To Beaver,

Bob Denver and Dawn Wells from Gilligan's Island,

Todd Bridges and Dana Plato from Diff'rent Strokes,

and Cathy Silvers and Crystal Bernard from Happy Days.

Also, two additional people who appeared at least occasionally on The Andy Griffith Show were in movies starring Don Knotts- Margaret Ann "Maggie" Peterson was in The Love God?, and Paul Hartman was in The Reluctant Astronaut.

This movie wasn't just the gold standard. It was more like triple platinum! I saw it when I was still in high school and it made me want to be in that school. I was just looking at the cast list so you can decide for yourself whose class you would like to be in.

THE STUDENTS

Michael J. Fox - Family Ties
Nancy McKeon - The Facts Of Life
Todd Bridges & Dana Plato - Diff'rent Strokes
Laurie Hendler - Gimme A Break
Crystal Bernard - Happy Days, Wings
Anthony Edwards - ER
Crispin Glover - Back To The Future
Cathy Silvers - Happy Days
Tom Villard - We Got It Made

THE ADULTS

Bob Denver - Dobie Gillis, Gilligan's Island
Dwayne Hickman and Steve Franken - Dobie Gillis
Dawn Wells - Gilligan's Island
Angela Cartwright - Make Room For Daddy, Lost In Space
Paul Petersen - Donna Reed Show
Elinor Donohue - Father Knows Best
David Nelson - Ozzie And Harriet
Barry Livingston - My Three Sons
Ken Osmond, Frank Bank, and Tony Dow - Leave It To Beaver

You were right the first time, it's actors who starred in the same sitcom who were in a movie together. Let's go to the source, post number 1 by McGillicuddy made on 1/31/2013:

"We've had a thread devoted to naming 2 sit-com or tv series stars that starred together in another series.

How about naming 2 sit-com or series' stars that also appeared together in movies (un-related to their tv series):

Andy Griffith & Don Knotts (The Andy Griffith Show) were both in No Time For Sergeants

Bob Denver & Jim Backus (Gilligan's Island) were in A Private's Affair. ( Another poster pointed this out, which inspired this thread)"

I think McGillicuddy is clear on the feedback he was looking for.
