Connecting Game

[Reply #520 on:]

Kenny Baker (R2D2) was in "Star Wars" with Carrie Fisher, who was in "Soapdish" with Elisabeth Shue, who was in "Back to the Future II" with Elijah Wood, who was in "The Faculty" with Robert Patrick (T-1000).

But, since Robert Patrick didn't play the T-1000 in "The Faculty", I don't guess that really counts, now does it?  I'm just proud I was able to get it without looking.

That counts alright, but evan did in 4 as well and he posted before you did.

I know.  I just wanted to put my two cents in.

[Reply #523 on:]

Hmm...I don't think that if I just gave characters, this one could work.  So I had to give actors.

You're on, boingo.

[Reply #547 on:]

Bob Balaban was in "Ghost World" with Teri Garr, who was in "Dick" with Harry Shearer, who was in "EdTV" with Elizabeth Hurley.

That was the hardest...one...ever, because I couldn't remember another movie with Bob Balaban except "Gosford Park", and I couldn't remember anyone else from that movie.  Thankfully, while perusing this page, I found that OTHER actor from "Ghost World"...thanks boingo.

Next:  Patrick Swayze and Bob Denver (yes, he has been in one semi-famous movie...remember?).

[Reply #548 on:]

Patrick Sawyze was in Donnie Darko with Drew Barrymore
Drew Barrymore was in Everyone Says I Love You with David Ogden Stiers
David Ogden Stiers was in Oh, God! with Bob Denver

[Reply #549 on:]

You're thinking of John "Sunshine on my shoulders" Denver, not Bob "Gilligan" Denver.  But good try.  If you get too stuck, here is the one movie Bob Denver was in (that I can remember):

Show spoiler

"Back to the Beach".  I won't say who's in it, but it was a mid-80's "comedy" that featured beach movie idols returning to that setting as middle-aged parents.

[Reply #550 on:]

Bob Denver was in Back to the Beach with Paul Reubens. Reubens was in Blow with Penelope Cruz. She was in Head in the Clouds with Charlize Theron. She was in Waking Up in Reno with Patrick Swayze.

[Reply #551 on:]

Elizabeth Montgomery and Nicole Kidman
(even though Kidman will be in Betwitch: The Movie in 2005, try not to use that.)

[Reply #552 on:]

Gonna need a hint.  Apart from a TV movie where she was a rape victim, I don't remember seeing Elizabeth Montgomery in anything besides "Bewitched".

[Reply #553 on:]

If that was too hard let me just post another question.

Richard Burton to Kirk Douglas.

[Reply #559 on:]

Richard Burton was in "1984" with John Hurt, who was in "History of the World:  Part I" with Mel Brooks, who was in "Spaceballs" with John Candy, who was in "JFK" with Jack Lemmon, who was in "Some Like it Hot" with Tony Curtis, who was in "Spartacus" with Kirk Douglas.

You have no idea how hard that was to do without cheating.  If I had been able to think of the name of that Jodie Foster alien movie, or more than one Richard Burton movie besides "Cleoptra" (I only knew "1984" because it was on "Jeopardy!" today), or anything else Elizabeth Taylor starred in (I think she was in "The Muppet Movie", but I'm not sure), or someone else in "Tough Guys" besides Burt Lancaster, or the name of the movie Douglas was in with his son recently, or the number of movies Burton and Douglas have probably been in together, I probably could have done better.  But oh well.  My life is somehow more complete now.
