Round 32 then, guys. I think Gryphon might be waylaid so I'm getting us started on a new thread again.

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.

Should I go for the private or the captain? Hmmm. Based on the movie I just watched this week that I hope someone plays:

I know of at least two movies I've seen her in but couldn't name any of the other cast so I'll sit back here...

Ha! I just watched Moana today, but that'd probably be a dead end, so how about Tooth Fairy, that I know another famous person was in.

Yes! You went right where I wanted you to! grin

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

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. (How does one activate that on a thread?)

I agree with Aqua, it is hard to keep track.

Plus it'd be nice to bounce off Kevin Bacon every once in a while. I mean, can you imagine once he's played that means a "No Bacon" rule? Riots in the streets!

Sure, no problem, really what we're tying to prevent is being caught in a never-ending loop of MCU movies, but we can keep an eye out for that as we play. I'll tweak the tweak.

OK, so I'm going for:

Anne Hathway
