This will be round 54 of Never Ending Movie Chain.

From Don, with tweaks over the years:

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 Hamill, Player Three: Corvette Summer, Player Four: Annie Potts, Player Five: Ghostbusters, 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

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.

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.

Because of this rule, many chains have been broken by using a same-named movie from a different decade. SAG-AFTRA requires actors to have unique names, but movie names are not unique. If you know your movie may be confused with another of the same name, add the year or other unique identifying information (such as "the original" or "the recent reboot" or "the live action remake" etc.) to help others. This becomes a requirement in the rare case that the same actor has played in both the original and remake; for example if the actor is Charlton Heston and you say Planet of the Apes, you must specify (1968) or (2001).

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.

Also feel free to add comments about the movies or actors mentioned if you like. Part of the fun is saying “Wow, I haven't thought about that movie for years.” or “I love Errol Flynn!”

Finally this is what burned us in 51. Generally no posting of names, trailers, or posters that show who might have been involved in the movie.

Starting the chain with an ensemble cast as usual.

Did Tusk break the chain? I don't think Catherine Ferrar was in Sixth Sense?
