Eddie Griffin was in "Double Take" with Orlando Jones, who was in "Office Space" with John C. McGinley, who was in "Point Break" with Tom Sizemore, who was in "Heat" with Al Pacino.

My brain hurts.

Bravo.  Here's what I had:

Eriq LaSalle was in "Coming to America" with Samuel L. Jackson, who was in "Pulp Fiction with John Travolta, who was in "Grease" with Stockard Channing.

Next?

[Reply #448 on:]

Gary Oldman and Christopher Walken

[Reply #449 on:]

Gary Oldman was in Fifth Element with Bruce Willis, who was in Pulp Fiction with Cristopher Walken.

Assuming they weren't in a film together:
Bill Murray to Liam Neeson.

[Reply #450 on:]

They were:  "True Romance".

Bill Murray was in "Caddyshack" with Chevy Chase, who was in "Three Amigos" with Steve Martin, who was in "Leap of Faith" with Liam Neeson.

[Reply #451 on:]

It's been well over 24 hours, so here's another:

Christopher Walken and Bug Hall.

[Reply #452 on:]

Bug Hall was in Little Rascals with Whoopi Golderg.
She was in Rat Race with Jon Lovitz.
He was in The Stepford Wives with Christopher Walken.

[Reply #453 on:]

Since, I've only made a connection, I'll just go ahead.

Mark Hamill and Elijah Wood

Star Wars meets LOTR- try not to use those movies though.

[Reply #454 on:]

Can I use a new movie they are making but I don't think it has been released, where Matt Damon plays Armstrong also starring Elijah woods.                             

                     vs

Jay and Silent bob strike back with Matt Damon and Mark Hamil.

If not it's not a big deal...

     
 

[Reply #455 on:]

Yes, you could use movies that haven't been released yet, as long as you can prove it, but I'll take your word for it.  Your turn.

[Reply #456 on:]

Mint, what movie are you talking about?  I looked on the IMDb, Killer Movies and Upcoming Movies, and I can't find anything about a new movie about Neil Armstrong (I assume that's who you meant) starring Matt Damon, nor any project starring Matt Damon and Elijah Wood together.

But--fryfan said it's your turn, so have at it.

[Reply #457 on:]

Hi there,
No, no, it's not Neil Armstrong the first man on moon, its Lance Armstrong, the cyclist champion. But it won't be released till 2006; Matt Damon needs to get in shape for the role first. But I cannot find Elijah wood in the same proposed movie anymore for some reason.  Well, sorry for the trouble...


     

[Reply #458 on:]

Julianne Moore was in "The Fugitive" with Tommy Lee Jones, who was in "The Missing" with Val Kilmer.

Next:  Spike Lee and Roseanne.

[Reply #459 on:]

Spike Lee was in Do the Right Thing with Samuel L. Jackson
Samuel L. Jackson was in Pulp Fiction with John Travolta
John Travolta was in Look Who's Talking Too with Roseanne

[Reply #460 on:]

Roseanne only did a voice-over in "Look Who's Talking Too".  Those don't count in this game.  Sorry.

[Reply #461 on:]

The anti-voice-over rule was repealed on page 3 of this thread (25 posts down).

[Reply #462 on:]

I stand corrected.  Next?

Jonathan Pryce to Donald Sutherland

who was in The Dirty Dozen with Donald Sutherland.

[Reply #465 on:]

I can name that tune in three notes:

Jonathan Pryce was in "Ronin" with Robert DeNiro, who was in "Sleepers" with Kevin Bacon, who was in "JFK" with Donald Sutherland.

[Reply #466 on:]

Jonathan Pryce was in "Ronin" with Robert DeNiro
Robert DeNiro was in "Backdraft" Donald Sutherland.

edit - laroquettespine can go if it is correct though as I stole the first connection from him 

[Reply #467 on:]

Ouch!  Forgot about "Backdraft"!  Thanks for the frontsies.

Next:  Catherine O'Hara and Maureen O'Hara.

[Reply #468 on:]

Catherine O'Hara was in Wyatt Earp with Kevin Costner,
who was in Revenge with Anthony Quinn,
who was in Lawrence of Arabia with Alec Guinnes,
who was in Our Man in Havanna with Maureen O'Hara.

[Reply #469 on:]

You win, but here's what I had:

Show spoiler

Catherine O'Hara was in "Home Alone" with John Candy, who was in "Only the Lonely" with Maureen O'Hara.

Anyone ever see that second movie?  It's worth a look.

[Reply #470 on:]

I've never even heard of it... 

New theme: part-time-acting filmmakers. Kevin Smith and Quentin Tarantino.

[Reply #471 on:]

I wish we could use tv shows.  That would make this a lot easier and quicker.

It took me a lot of thinking, but I got it.

Kevin Smith was in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back with Will Ferrel,
who was in Anchorman with Ben Stiller,
who was in Duplex with Drew Barrymore,
who was in The Wedding Singer with Adam Sandler,
who was in Little Nicky with Quentin Tarantino.

I decided to go for the "least obvious" route.

[Reply #472 on:]

Hey, just be glad the "voice-over" ban was lifted.

Kevin Smith was in "Mallrats" with Ethan Suplee, who was in "American History X" with Edward Norton, who was in "The Score" with Robert DeNiro, who was in "Jackie Brown" with Quentin Tarantino.

I spent way too much of my life trying to think of a shorter link (there's GOT to be one).

[Reply #473 on:]

Damn, I thought you screwed up, but you didn't.  Tarantino doesn't act in "Jackie Brown," but he does do voice-over.  I thought I had you there for a second.

[Reply #474 on:]

Kevin Smith was in Dogma with Salma Hayek
Salma Hayek was in From Dusk Till Dawn with Quentin Tarantino

[Reply #475 on:]

"Awww, DANG IT!" (takes off space helmet, stomps on it, starts to asphyxiate, puts it back on).

Please just tell me you got that connection without looking.

[Reply #476 on:]

Go, Boingo.

[Reply #477 on:]

@laroquettespine: If by "looking", you mean "looking at the IMDb", of course not.  But if you mean "looking at the spine of the Dogma DVD, seeing Salma's picture, and making a connection", I must plead guilty.

Peter Sellers to Charles Bronson

[Reply #478 on:]

Peter Sellers was in Dr. Strangelove with Slim Pickens,
who was in 1941 with Toshiro Mifune,
who was in Midway with Henry Fonda,
who was in Once Upon a Time in the West with Charles Bronson.

Somehow, I initially read that as "caressing Salma's picture." I don't know why. Made your post more interesting, though.
