How about a game? Yes, a game. (it is movie related which is why i've not put it in games & riddles...)Anyway, I'm sure we've done this before but here goes:

Someone says two random actors/actresses and the next person has to connect them through their appearances in movies, in the least amount of moves they can think of.

Eg Jack Nicholson and Samuel L Jackson

This can be done in 3 moves (maybe less but it's the best I could do):

Jack Nicholson was in "Ironweed" with Meryl Streep
Meryl Streep was in "Death Becomes Her" with Bruce Willis
Bruce Willis was in "Unbreakable" with Samuel L. Jackson


Ok, so I'll start of with an easy one:

Steve martin & Al Pacino

Steve Martin was in The Out of Towners, written by Neil Simon
Neil Simon wrote The Odd Couple, which starred Jack Lemmon
Jack Lemmon was in Glengarry Glen Ross with Al Pacino.

Brad Pitt and Woodie Allen

PJ, as you are a mod, please could you correct the spelling of "separation".

Thank you. :book:

Brad Pitt was in "Fight Club" with Helena Bonham Carter
Helena Bonham Carter was in "Might Aphrodite" with Woody Allen


John Goodman & Sharon Stone

PJ, as you are a mod, please could you correct the spelling of "separation".

Done!
Now did you come in here to play or just nit-pick? :)

I'm thinking, already!

PJ - could you change your post so it reads 'Mighty Aphrodite', not 'Might Aphrodite'

:ninja:

tee-hee........

PJ - could you change your post so it reads 'Mighty Aphrodite', not 'Might Aphrodite'

Jeff Bridges was in Simpatico with Sharon Stone

Chevy Chase and Timothy Spall

ya wee nyaff

Okay: Chevy Chase appeared in "Memoirs of an Invisible Man" with the very excellent Sam Neill, who starred in the tv movie "Merlin" with Miranda Richardson, who will be starring in the new "Harry Potter" film with... Timothy Spall :)

Now my one - link (if you can) Fay Wray with Eminem

(that'll kill the thread...)

Chevy Chase and Robbie Coltrane in European Vacation
Robbie Coltrane and Timothy Spall in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

ok, Vinnie Jones and Patrick Stewart

(a random pick, knowing my luck they will be in the same movie somewhere lol!)

ARGHHH too late, ok, go with the one ABOVE.

I think Mik got in there first sayangmouse :)

Already conceeded Fee, I think we must have been writing at the same time...so its with Mik's Eminem and Fay Wray

ok, Fay Wray in Gideon's Trumpet with Nicholas Pryor, who was in...
....The Chamber with David Grant, who was in ........
.....People I know with Kim Basinger, who was in.........
....8 Mile with Eminem......

John Cleese was in "The Magic Christian" which Wilfred Hyde-White also appeared in.
Wilfred Hyde-White was in Betrayed which starred Clark Gable

How about Mae West and Madonna

Are you lot all film freaks or just good with Google? :shocking:

Personally I'm just using the IMDB site (it's the rest of 'em that are freaks...)
:)

According to IMDB, Mae West was in a film called "Myra Breckinridge" which starred Raquel Welch, who was in "The Four Musketeers" with Faye Dunaway, who was in "Bonnie and Clyde" with Warren Beatty, who was of course in "Dicky Tracy" with Madge

Beat me to the punch again Mik! I ended up with:
Mae West....Sextette....George Hamilton.....Doc Hollywood.....Michael J. Fox....Blue in the Face.....Madge

LOL sorry 'Mouse :) But yours was better than mine - fewer steps.

Try this uber-talented pair then: Zhang Ziyi to Catherine Deneuve

Oooh, harder.

Ziyi Zhang......Rush Hour 2........Chris Tucker........Jackie Brown........Samuel Jackson.....Pulp Fiction......Tim Roth........Musketeer........Catherine Deneuve. Phew.

Good one :)

James Dean was most famously in "Rebel Without A Cause", which also featured Dennis Hopper, who was in the brilliant "Apocalypse Now" with Harrison Ford, who rose to fame with the Star Wars films including "Episode VI - Return of the Jedi", which also featured vertically-challenged Warwick Davis who appeared in "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" with... Dawn French

James Dean died 50 years ago today... :-((
he was only 24.

(off topic I know..but just had to say.)

Charlie Chaplin.....an old steward in A Countess from Hong Kong....which also featured Marlon Brando as Ogden Mears........who was Superman's pop in Superman.........which had Gene Hackman as Lex Luthor.........who managed Keanu Reeves in the sport movie The Replacements.
