Mental Movie Game

When I'm doing something that doesn't require me to think (such as mowing the lawn), I sometimes play a mental game.  It's kind of based on the old Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon idea.  I take two movies (the more different, the better) and try to link them by their actors.  For example:

Weird Science to Being John Malkovich

In Weird Science, Anthony Michael Hall played Gary.  He also played Rusty in National Lampoon's Vacation.  In the sequel, National Lampoon's European Vacation, the man in the bathroom was played by Robbie Coltrane, who also played Hagrid in the Harry Potter films.  Which also starred Alan Rickman as Severus Snape.  Rickman played Hans Gruber in Die Hard, which also starred Bruce Willis as John McClane.  Willis played Frank Moses in Red, which also starred John Malkovich, who starred in Being John Malkovich.

Simple, right?

Notice that I usually take movie series as a single entity.  That's just to make things easier.  Usually, the same actors play the same roles in each film of a series, so it just makes sense.  With this game, you can make your own rules.  Can you count Wilson from Castaway in the beach volleyball scene from Top Gun?  That's your choice!  You can count the directors of the films if you wish.  The Key Grip?  The Gaffer?  The possibilities are endless.

Also, many times there is more than one path to take.  In the above example:

Anthony Michael Hall (Gary in Weird Science) also played Farmer Ted the Geek in Sixteen Candles.  His friend, Bryce, was played by John Cusack, who was Craig Schwartz in Being John Malkovich.

I've yet to find two movies that I couldn't somehow link.  (Now that I've said that...)  Have fun.
