Here are the rules as composed originally by Don, iirc.
Player one: Star Wars, Player Two: Mark Hamil, Player Three: Corvette Summer, Player Four: Annie Potts, Player Five: Ghostbusters, etc., etc.
[nemarsde tweak]No repeats within 5 steps and avoid getting caught in a loop with MCU or Fast & Furious movies, for example. Long-running franchises with ensemble casts can allow you go round and round indefinitely.[/nemarsde tweak]
No IMDb please <expect to look up dates of movies with identical titles or spellings of names>. grin
You need to follow the chain as it is drawn, no jumping. If we have Stephen Moyer on the table and someone plays Prince Valiant then the Prince Valiant you have to go out of is the one that had Stephen Moyer in it, no matter how many other movies out there are named Prince Valiant.
A clarification on play. We want to avoid using archival footage. For purposes of our game Dick Clark, Bob Hope, President Kennedy etc. Did not appear in Forrest Gump.
I won't make this a rule but rather a recommendation. Please avoid films that have not been released/aired in the U.S.
And just for the sake of putting it into the written rules mostly for sake of newcomers voice work (animated films) and made-for-TV movies are allowed but not mini-series.
Oh, and the idea is not to stump everyone but to keep the chain going for as long as possible. We play this one on road trips and I don't know why I didn't think to start this up here years ago. It is perfect for the online community because you can jump in whenever and wherever or as often as you want.

While I'm tempted to be practically perfect in every way, I think the best bounce is to the star of The Princess Diaries.

I think we need to implement this rule in the age of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, otherwise we can go round and round indefinitely just on MCU movies and actors.[/nemarsde tweak] Can we be slightly less strict on this? I recognize the need to prohibit this case, but coming in as a new player it was nice only having to look back through a smaller number of pages instead of all 9, especially since the "all" option wasn't available to search the whole thread at once.

I mean, can you imagine once he's played that means a "No Bacon" rule?

I'll tweak the tweak.
OK, so I'm going for:
