Movie game
At lifehouse on Sunday I spent the better part of the day in the dressing room discussing movies. The goal of the discussion was a bit of a game. the point is to start off with a movie that starts with the letter "A" and then "B", then "C" etc...
Well, that's only part of it. The hard part is that to link the movies together you have to use an actor that links each one. For instance, D->F would look something like this:
Days of Thunder - Nicole Kidman
Eyes Wide Shut - Tom Cruise
Few Good Men - Ed Harris
Anyways, you get the point. Well, on Sunday, the best we could do was A-H just from memory, but even that took a lot of revising and remaking of the list. So today, I spent a LOT of time searching imdb.com for a complete list. I did come up with one, although its a bit shakey from x to z. Z is a made for TV movie, but oh well. Eventually I'll try to do a better list, but for now this is what I have. (oh yeah, and we all decided we had to start with the movie Amistad when we worked on this at home, just to see how different our approaches were to the problem).

There it is, in all it's geekiness. When I make another attempt I think I'm going to try and only use each actor 1 time. I think you all should try this too, when you have a spare moment. Its pretty fun and keeps you busy for a while at least heh.
