Six Degrees of Middlearth--For Movies! - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Evisse, I think Beanamir picked Kevin Bacon because he's the tradition! (Check out the Oracle of Bacon, it's very good fun)

I was pondering this puzzle myself last night, actually, I didn't get very far, it's a tough one!

Beanamir

I don't get the connection between Tom Guiry and A Few Good Men. But you could have missed that out anyway, as Tom Guiry was in Black Hawk Down.

As for Miranda, how about:

Sorry about Tom Guiry

-- I was thinking of someone else. But to make amends, Cuba Gooding Jr was in A Few Good Men, and was also in Pearl Harbor with Josh Hartnett who was ... anyway.

Yes this is similar to Connect the Movies but it involves the Bacon.

So who's next, Saucepan? Or whoever wants to suggest someone?

OK, I'll suggest one. How about Karl Urban?

Ok, I'll do this:
Karl Urban -> Ghost Ship/Gabriel Byrne -> Millers Crossing/Marcia Gay Harden -> Mystic River/Kevin Bacon - > Laurence Fishburne/The Matrix -> Hugo Weaving/Lord of the Rings -> Karl Urban.

I've got a feeling Mystic River's going to be cropping up a fair bit here....

I think that little connecting could possibly crop up quite a few too...

I've played this on Rottentomatoes before!

I'll do Dominic Monaghan, if I'm allowed to use a television show.

DOM->Inspector Morse "Monsignor Renard"/David Wheatley->Inspector Morse "Absolute Conviction"/Sean Bean->Ronin/Robert De Niro->Sleepers/BACON->JFK/Martin Sheen->Hostile Waters/DOM

Technically it's not purist, but oh well.

Someone do my love, David Wenham.
