Ok, this is a fun movie game that I used to play on car rides and it seems like a good idea to try it here.

So here's what you do. Someone starts out by naming completely different actors and actresses. Then, people try to connect them through movies that they have been in.

For example, If I said John Travolta and Russel Crowe, Someone could say John Travolta was in Pulp Fiction with Bruce Willis who was in The Sixth Sense with Haley Joel Osment who was in Pay it Forward with Kevin Spacey who was in L.A. Confidential with Russel Crowe. Get it? Good.
I'll start:

Harrison Ford and Halle Barry

P.S. If for some reason there ends up being no way to connect them which rarely happens, The person who named the actors will name two new actors or actresses.

Wow that was a hard one. But I got it! Harrison Ford was in The Fugitive with Tommy Lee Jones who was in Batman with Jim Carrey who was in The Mask with Cameron Diaz who was in Charlie's Angels 2 which Bruce Willis had a cameo in. Bruce was in Pulp Fiction with John Travolta and John Travolta was in Swordfish with Halle Berry!
Ok my turn now!

Arnold Shwarzenneger and Renee Zellweger

Yes, this is a much easier one than the first one...glad that Know-It-All got it!

Anyway, to answer the Arnold Schwarzenegger versus Renee Zellweger "Six degrees of separation."

Arnold was with Danny DeVito in "Twins"
Danny DeVito was with Jack Nicholson in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest"
Jack Nicholson was with Michelle Pfeiffer in "The Witches of Eastwick"
Michelle Pfeiffer was with Renee Zellweger in "White Oleander"

How about:

Sylvester Stallone and Kirsten Dunst

The easiest way to connect them is that Kirsten Dunst played Mia Farrow's daughter in the Woody Allen episode of "New York Stories." Woody and Sly Stallone were both ants in "Antz."

Clark Gable and Nicole Kidman

Clark Gable was in The Misfits with Marylin Monroe.
Marylin Monroe was in Some Like It Hot with Jack Lemmon
Lemmon was with Alec Baldwin in Glengarry Glenross
Baldwin was in Malice with Nicole Kidman

Toshiro Mifune and Makullay Culkin

jakal, you're breakin' my heart. I was all set to use Toshiro on the next one. Pshaw!

Mifune was in "1941" with Christopher Lee. Lee was in (so far) two "Lord of the Rings" movies with Sir Ian. Of course, Ian and Patrick Stewart were in the "X-Men" films, and ( a cartoon saves me again) Stewart and Culkin were both voices in "The Pagemaster."

Well, now I'll have to go with something boring, such as Mae West and Marcello Mastroianni.

Got it.

Mastroianni was in "A Fine Romance" With Julie Andrews who played the voice of Princess Fiona's Mom in "Shrek 2" with Mike Myers. Myers starred in "Wayne's World" in which hard rocker Alice Cooper made an appearance. And Cooper was in "Sextette" with Mae West.

Now, lets try:

Collin Farrel and Marlon Brando

I think there's a shorter way to connect them, but I'll go with Colin Farrell was in "The Recruit" with Al Pacino. Pacino was in "Heat" with Val Kilmer, and Kilmer was in the remake of "Island of Dr. Moreau" with Brando.

Now I have to come up with two more...Bette Davis and Dakota Fanning.

Bette Davis was in The Whales of August with Vincent Price.
Price was in Edward Scissorhands with Alan Arkin.
Arkin was with Al Pacino in Glengarry Glenross.
Pacino was with Sean Penn in Carlito's Way.
Penn was with Dakota Fanning in I Am Sam.

Myrna Loy and Robert Carlyle

I've decided they're more fun if you take extra detours along the way. Robert Carlyle was in "The World is Not Enough" with John Cleese. Cleese was in "Time Bandits" with Sean Connery. Connery was in "The Hill" with Ian Hendry. Hendry was in "Repulsion" with Catherine Deneuve. Deneuve was in "The April Fools" with Myrna Loy.

My pairs seem to be getting easier, so I'll continue that trend with Brigitte Bardot and Zeppo Marx.

P.S. jakal can you connect everybody to "Glengarry Glen Ross"?

This was tough as hell, but here goes. Brigitte Bardot was in 'Don Juan, Or If Don Juan Was A Woman' which was directed by Roger Vadim. Roger Vadim also directed 'And God Created Woman' with Rebecca Demornay who was in 'The Three Musketeers' with Charlie Sheen, who was in 'Cadence' with his dad, Martin Sheen. Martin Sheen was in 'Apocalypse Now' with Marlon Brando, who was in 'Julius Caesar' with Louis Calhern. Louis Calhern was in 'Duck Soup' with Zeppo Marx.

Glengarry Glenross just happens to be one of those movies that is packed with big names.

Bela Lugosi and Patrick Fugit

I obviously don't have a life. Bela Lugosi was in "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein" with Lon Chaney, Jr. Chaney was in "Not as a Stranger" with Olivia de Havilland. She was in "The Swarm" with Fred MacMurray. MacMurray was in "The Apartment" with Ray Walston. Walston was in "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" with Sean Penn. "Spicoli" was in "State of Grace" with Robin Wright Penn, and she was in "White Oleander" with Patrick Fugit.

OK, this one's easier. Janet Gaynor and Frankie Muniz.

Janet Gaynor was in 'A Star Is Born' with Frederic March, who was in 'The Iceman Cometh' with Jeff Bridges, who was in 'Arlington Road' with Tim Robbins, who was in 'Mystic River' with Kevin Bacon, who was in 'My Dog Skip' with Frankie Muniz.

For a fellow fan:

Moe Howard and Yaphet Kotto

I'm glad my game has gained some popularity. Its ok this once, but the game is supposed to be done with only actors, not directors or anyone else. So could we please keep it like that. Unless people agree that they want to play with directors as well, thats ok with me. Thanks.

This one's for Ripley! Believe it or not, Moe Howard and Yaphet Kotto were in the same movie, "4 For Texas."

Luise Rainer and Rory Culkin.

Luise Rainer was in 'The Gambler' with Michael Gambon, who is in 'Sky Captain & The World of Tomorrow' with Gwyneth Paltrow, who was in 'A View From the Top' with Mark Ruffalo, who was in 'You Can Count On Me' with Rory Culkin.

Colin Clive was in Bride of Frankenstein with Boris Karloff who was in House of Frankenstein with Lon Cheney Jr. who was in The Defiant Ones with Sidney Poitier who was in The Jakal with Bruce Willis who is in Oceans Twelve with Matt Damon who was in The Bourne Identity with Clive Owen. WOW! Try this one on for size...

Jet Li and Lana Turner

There is definately a shorter way to connect them but Im too lazy to think of it:
Lana Turner was in "Madame X" with John Forsythe who was in "Charlie's Angels 2: Full Throttle" with Cameron Diaz. Diaz was in "There's Something about Mary" with Ben Stiller who was in "Mystery Men" with William H. Macy. Macy is in the upcoming movie "Cellular" with Jason Stathom who was in "The One" with Jet Li.

Ok,
