Fun New Movie Game -- Links

[edonline]

The object is to link actors together in pairs by films in which they co-starred (A&B starred in "Such-and-such", B&C starred in "This-and-that", C&D starred in... and so on), seeing who can keep the chain going the longest. The only rules are that you cannot use a movie or an actor twice.

For example:
Drew Barrymore & Anjelica Houston (Ever After)
Anjelica Houston & Jack Nicholson (Prizzi's Honor)

Who can pick up from there? (name two links, starting with Jack)

[QUENTIN]

Not sure I follow sounds sorta like Six Degrees of Separation, only with only 1 degree at all times, and you name two things...not entirely sure the point of the game, but is this the sorta thing you want?:

Jack Nicholson & Randy Quaid (Last Detail)
Randy Quaid & Bill Murray (Kingpin)

[Kal]

Bill Murray & Andie MacDowell (Groundhog Day)
Andie MacDowell & Hugh Grant (4 Weddings and a Funeral)

Is that how it goes?

[edonline]

Yup, that's they way to do it.

Hugh Grant & James Caan (Mickey Blue Eyes)
James Caan & Kathy Bates (Misery)

[MrWhite]

i think i get this...here goes

kathy bates and chris o'donnell (fried green tomatoes at the whistle stop cafe)
chris o'donnell and bill paxton (vertical limit)

[Kal]

Bill Paxton & Michael Biehn (Aliens)
Michael Biehn & Linda Hamilton (Terminator)

[Coolkid]

Sorry to break up the game but I thought I should tell you about my variation of the game which I play lots with a friend. You pick an actor/actress and the other player does the same. By going through actors and movies you try to link up to the other actor.

eg. Pierce Brosnan- Bruce Willis

Pierce Brosnan in TWINE gives you Sophie Marceau, which gives you Mel Gibson in Braveheart, etc. until you make it to the other guy.

I've rambled enough.

[MrWhite]

so with the new game carrying on from LINDA HAMILTON!!!!

LINDA HAMILTON and CHRISTINA RICCI
What actor/actress links them?

[Raw Chili]

Linda Hamilton and Ed Furlong are in T2, Ed and Ricci are in Pecker

[Raw Chili]

connect Christina Ricci to Oliver Reed..

[Kal]

Do you have to do it in one link?

I can get it in, Ricci and Depp in Sleepy Hollow, Depp and Jerry Lewis in Arizona Dream, Lewis and Reed in Funny Bones.

[Kal]

Wait got it!

Ricci and Hoskins in Mermaids, Hoskins and Reed in Parting Shots

Easy one Reed - Denzel Washington

[QUENTIN]

Oliver Reed starred in Gladiator with Russel Crowe who starred in Virtuosity with Denzel Washington.

[Kal]

Yesh, very true, so give us one to work on.

[Zed]

Ok, let me see if I understand.

Try to link:

Julianne Moore-Dustin Hoffman

[Coolkid]

By the way, you don't have to get it in 1 link. Take as many as you need. We could use some sort of scoring system, the fewer links the more points for yourself, and we could keep playing to see who can get the most points!

"Two days off in a row! But it's sunny now, so probably back to school tomorrow!"

[Kal]

I can get that in two, have to think over for one link:

No wait got it!

Tom Cruise

Julianne Moore (Magnolia) Tom Cruise (Rain Man) Dustin Hoffman

Try this one:

Harvey Keitel - James Caan

[MrWhite]

Harvey Keitel was in Dusk till Dawn!
So was Juliette Lewis
Who was in Way of the Gun with James Caan

[Kal]

I was thinking Harvey Keitel (Little Nicky) Adam Sandler (Bulletproof) James Caan, but yeah good one.

[Zed]

Ok, try to link this one.

Tom Cruise - Eliah Wood.

Or if you want, you could try this other.

Billy Cristal - Harrison Ford.

[Raw Chili]

Tom Cruise and nicole kidmen are in far and away, etc. Kidmen and Bebe Newwirth are in Malice, Bebe and Wood are in The Faculty

[Raw Chili]

Ford is in TheDevil's Own with Brad Pitt, Pitt and De Niro are in Sleepers, De Niro and Billy are in Analyze This

[Zed]

Raw Chili, this is correct but there are two direct links between the actors.

Look, Tom Cruise and Leelee Sobieski were in Eyes wide shut and she was in "Deep Impact" with Eliah Wood.

Harrison Ford and Carrie Fischer were in the Star Wars trilogy, and she also appers in "When Harry met Sally" with Billy Cristal.

There another one. Try to link:

Nicolas Cage with Pat Morita.

[Kal]

Well they were both in Honeymoon In Vegas, does that work?
Other than that I think this:

Cage - (Wild At Heart) - Crispin Glover - (Even Cowgirls Get The Blues) - Morita

try:

Aidan Quinn to Christopher Walken, pretty easy

[This message has been edited by Kal (edited 03-02-2001).]

[Zed]

Ok try this guys:

Matthew Broderick with Tom Hanks

[Raw Chili]

Matt and meg ryan are in addicted to love, ryan and hanks are in you got mail, joe vs. volcano, and sleepless in seattle

[Zed]

And what about
Matthew Broderick and Jack Nicholson?

[QUENTIN]

I'm sure there's a shorter one, but:

Matthew Broderick in The Freshman with Marlon Brando, Marlon Brando in The Godfather with Al Pacino, Al Pacino in Heat with Robert DeNiro, Robert DeNiro with Michael Keaton in Jackie Brown, Michael Keaton in Batman with Jack Nicholson. (wow some of the best actors ever in that thread...DeNiro, Nicholson, Brando, Pacino)

[Kal]

Hah! Hah!
I have found the shortened path.
After goingn through the dregs of my video collection I refound Mar Attacks and was suprised to find Jack Black among the cast (having not prior noticed him). Hmm what other films has Jack Black been in? Ahh yes! Cable Guy!!
Yay!

hhhmmmmm try:

John Cusack to Madeleine Stowe

[This message has been edited by Kal (edited 03-04-2001).]

[Zed]

Very good Kal!

I'm going to be honest, when I put Broderick and Nicholson, I was thinking in Hellen Hunt.

She was in "As good as its gets" and remember that she was in that old movie about pilot monkeys (was it "Proyect X"????).
Yes, believe it or not she was Hellen Hunt.

About Cusack and Stowe the link is John Travolta.

Cusack and Travolta in The thin red line and Travolta and Stowe (she was born in my country: Costa Rica!!!) in "The general daughter".

Now try to link:

James Earl Jones with Morgan Freeman

[Kal]

I was thinking Anthony Edwards:

Cusack (Sure Thing)
Stowe (Playing By Heart)

but, yeah, nice one!
