One degree of Kevin Bacon game

04:13 / 11.07.04

You know, that game where one person names two actors who have never been in a film together, and the other person has to name an actor who's been in films with both of them, and name the films themselves. I apologise for the poor syntax, I'm tired.

Here's an example: Christopher Reeve to Tom Cruise in one.

Answer: Gene Hackman, Superman, The Firm.

After giving the answer, please offer up your own question. Thank you!

Here's an easy one to start you off:
Elijah Wood to Patrick Stewart

Lord Morgue

05:01 / 11.07.04

Bah, Bacon is too easy now. I prefer the infinitely more challenging Six Degrees of Michael Berryman!

PatrickMM

19:25 / 11.07.04

Elijah Wood to Patrick Stewart would be Ian McKellan of Lord of the Rings and X-Men.

For the next challenge, try Arnold Arnold Schwarzenegger to Meryl Streep.

20:55 / 11.07.04

Kevin Kline, Dave, Sophie's Choice.

Ok u asked for it. Michael Berryman to Guy Pearce in one. Ha.

23:10 / 11.07.04

Danny De Vito.
Cuckoos Nest and LA Confidential.
One up for Eltingville!

23:11 / 11.07.04

Oh, I have to do one now?
Neil Morrissey to Richard Dawkins in two.

05:06 / 12.07.04

You have done well, my young apprentice ...

But hold on, has Richard Dawkins actually been in a film? And the only film I can think that Morrissey's been in is Up'n'Under with, um ... Samantha Janus and ... Gary Olsen?

Hmm, ponder ponder.

11:34 / 12.07.04

OK, let's drop that one, it wasn't well thought out. I was being way beyond the rules of the game.
It was Neil Morrisey, Martin Clunes, Lalla Ward, Richard Dawkins. More in the spirit of the original Bacon game. I like your version better.

Easy one then: Gene Hackman to Tea Leoni in one.

12:35 / 12.07.04

Who's Tea Leoni?

1.Liz Taylor to Sarah Michelle Gellar...

2.Owen Wilson to Sigourney Weaver (this one doesn't actually count because its so stupid).

12:38 / 12.07.04

Sorry the one from Jurassic Park 3?

Gene hackman > Will Smith > Tea Leoni

Gene Hackman + Will Smith = Enemy of the State

Tea Leoni + Will Smith = Bad Boys

15:55 / 12.07.04

Owen Wilson + Gene Hackman in The Royal Tenenbaums, Gene Hackman + Sigourney Weaver in Heartbreakers.

Got me on Liz & Buffy though ...

23:46 / 12.07.04

Right. There was a Helen Rosemond in Cruel intentions who has an IMDB track list as long as Liz's wedding returns list (even if I can't remember who she is...).
Liz's maiden/real name is Rosemond. Must be a sister. Grrr. There must be something more obvious

Our Lady Has Left the Building

00:18 / 13.07.04

I don't want to be Pewdantic Pete or anything, but the rules are that the actors concerned have to have been in a film with the other actors, not just have some random connection.

I'll start again -

Orson Welles to William Shatner

01:01 / 13.07.04

Leonard Nimoy in Transformers the Movie?

Ralph Fffffines to Michael Caine?

05:22 / 13.07.04

I don't know if this counts but here goes:

Liz Taylor Rick Moranis Kristine Sutherland Sarah Michelle Gellar

Do TV shows count?

Jessica Biel to Jennifer Tilly, in two...

05:41 / 13.07.04

Ralph Fffffines Edward Norton Charlize Theron Michael Caine

Britney Spears and Eminem, in one!

05:46 / 13.07.04

The thread took out my bracket here's the degrees:

Liz Taylor and Rick Moranis in The Flintstones

Rick Moranis and Kristine Sutherland in Honey, I shrunk the kids

Kristine Sutherland and Sarah Michelle Gellar in Buffy The Vampire Slayer

AND

Ralph Finnes and Edward Norton in Red Dragon

Edward Norton and Charlize Theron in The Italian Job

Charlize Theron and Micheal Caine in The Cider House Rules

tituba

06:13 / 13.07.04

Jessica Biel and Jennifer Tilly? Don't know...

Britney < Crossroads > Taryn Manning < 8 MILE > Eminem

thirty/thirty

10:43 / 13.07.04

Jessica Biel's TV mom was is played by Catherine Hicks, Catherine Hicks starred in Childs Play with Brad Dourif who played Chucky, he also starred in Bride of Chucky opposite Jennifer Tilly...

Mandy Moore, Marlon Brando, in 3 degrees!

18:16 / 13.07.04

Mandy Moore & Christopher Walken in Romance & Cigarettes, Walken & Johnny Depp in Nick of Time, Depp & Marlon Brando in Don Juan De Marco. Or, Walken & De Niro in The Deer Hunter, De Niro & Brando in The Score.

And I had to look up Mandy Moore on imdb because I don't know who she is, That makes me extra clever.

Or maybe just a cheat.

Damn.

Our Lady Has Left the Building

18:17 / 13.07.04

Robert De Niro to Dan Aykroyd in one.

19:06 / 13.07.04

I was thinking more Ralph Fffffienes and Ben Kingsley in Schindler's List, Ben Kingsley and Michael Caine in Without a Clue.

19:17 / 13.07.04

Bobby with Bill in Mad Dog and Glory, Bill and Dan in Ghostbusters.
Or Bobby with Eddie in Showtime and Eddie with Dan in Trading Places.

19:25 / 13.07.04

OK, Sid James to John Goodman in one.

19:31 / 13.07.04

Oh, and Fiennes+Connery=The Avengers, Connery+Caine= The Man Who Would Be King.

21:29 / 13.07.04

The link has to be Bryan Brown, but I'm damned if I know what James film he was in (off to IMDB...)

21:48 / 13.07.04

Nope! Got it!
The link is someone in King Ralph (take your pick...) probably Leslie Phillips (well heellllooooooo....), in just about any Carry On you care to name.
Ding dong!

21:54 / 13.07.04

Wow, that's good. That wasn't the link I had but it's damn good.

thirty/thirty

06:58 / 14.07.04

Okay, I'll be in charge of the singer-turned-actor-turned-model-turned-whatever portion of these proceedings then...

Dolly Parton to David Bowie. It can be done in one but two will be just fine...

Have a go?

gridley

17:56 / 14.07.04

Hmmmm.... would Moulin Rouge count? It featured Bowie's cover of "Nature Boy" and Ewan & Nicole singing "I Will Always Love You."

05:22 / 15.07.04

Nope. They have to have been in a movie together.

Dolly Parton and Julia Roberts in Steele Magnolias, right
Julia Roberts and Dennis Hopper in Blood Red, okay
Dennis Hopper and David Bowie in Basquiat!

My turn...Christina Ricci and Will Smith, in only one move!

thirty/thirty

05:56 / 15.07.04

Jeez! You and that Charlize Theron! Stop throwing her into every mix!

The link is Charlize Theron, again!
Both Will Smith and Christina Ricci shared screen with Ms. Theron. Smith in the Legend of Bagger Vance and Ricci in Monster.

Please connect the King of Poop, Michael Jackson (helpful clue: MIB2) with Queen Bitch Lil' Kim, in ONE.
