I realized it's been a long, long while since I had any sort of contest on this LJ, so I thought it was about time to resurrect the tradition.

As you all know, Hollywood seems to be out of ideas. They remake movies constantly, and often cast people in the same role that you would never think of as the same type.

The Contest Below are a list

Connector and Linking Movies: When you play this game, you just have to keep in mind certain movies with big casts or casts that link sometimes incongruous actors. Some: Big Fish, Huckabees, the Batman movies, Death to Smoochy, Big Lebowski, Much Ado about Nothing (linking); and actors who have acted with nearly everybody (Steve Buschemi, Johnny Depp).
