This is Round Thirty Three of the Neverending Movie Chain. Feel free to jump in anywhere you want, post once or post as often as you want just don't reply to yourself. huh

For any new folks joining in <and new folks are definitely encouraged to do so>...

We start by naming a movie, the next player to jump in has to name an actor in that film and the next to follow him/her has to name a different movie that actor was in.

EX:

Player one: Star Wars, Player Two: Mark Hamil, Player Three: Corvette Summer, Player Four: Annie Potts, Player Five: Ghostbusters, etc., etc.

Repeats are allowed but discouraged and there has to be a distance of at least five steps before you use a movie or an an actor a second time. 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.

Let's kick this off with a fairly easy one!

Lots of actors to choose from in: Murder on the Orient Express (2017)

Oh, my! Great movie! Tempted by two alternatives, one which we might find elsewhere but the other who this might just be my only chance to play a voice actor of my favorite Disney character ever!

He certainly looks tall, though I've no idea how tall he actually is.

Can no-one remember this 1989 classic? I'm going to shout Gypsy. She surely remembers this one.

Michelle Pfeiffer, who I had a huge crush on in high school. Won’t name the movie since someone could use it as the next answer but it involves a female bird of prey. Not unlike her recent Disney incarnation. smile

Anyway... Miranda Otto
Posted By: AquaDyne Re: Never Ending Movie Chain 33 - Sun 21/06/20 18:05 UTC
It helped my crush that I looked a lot like Matthew Broderick back then. You know, when I had hair.

Oh, I saw her in that new Netflix movie trailer, the comedy about the Eurovision Song Contest. Absolutely did not remember its title though. sad
Posted By: AquaDyne Re: Never Ending Movie Chain 33 - Tue 30/06/20 15:40 UTC
I didn't see the trailer, but I think the title actually is Eurovision Song Contest (with a subtitle about some song with fire, because all cool songs involve fire). And I'm pretty sure that's will Ferrell I saw with her, and I'm surprised he's not a repeat. So does your naming the movie count? smile

(To clarify, I didn't see the trailer but I saw the 10-second pop-up preview/ad, while searching for "musicals". I'm not sure whether that's different or not.)
Posted By: nem Re: Never Ending Movie Chain 33 - Tue 30/06/20 17:40 UTC
I'm an hour and ten minutes into the movie. I can tell you it is very silly, Rachel McAdams is adorable, and the title is indeed The Eurovision Song Contest! No wonder I couldn't remember it.

Will Ferrell then. I think we have to Shake N' Bake with this one...
