The Yak Shack Forum

Hey everyone!  My friends at home and I always love playing a little game together and I thought I would see if we could try it out here.

We call it (aptly) "The Movie Trivia Game"

Here is how it goes-

1) The first player suggests the name of an actor/actress
2) The second player then has to respond with another movie that that actor/actress has been in
3) The next player must list a different actor/actress that was in the movie listed by player 2

and so on....

Always alternating actor/actress and movie

There does not have to be any particular player response order, so shout out an answer just like you would in the Word Association Thread.

Let me give you a quick, easy example -

1) Brad Pitt
2) Ocean's Eleven
3) Matt Damon
4) Dogma
5) Ben Afleck
6) Mallrats

Etc. Etc. Etc.  and play just goes on from there.

So it is a variation on the '6 degrees of Kevin Bacon' theory for those that are familiar.

**The Key is that You Aren't Allowed to Look up Answers Online**
-I know IMDB is tempting, but that would take any challenge out of it all

The goal is to obviously try to stump everyone with a good answer.  But, like the Word Association Thread, there are no winners or points given out.  Everyone just trys to keep it going as long as possible.

So here we go....start out with someone easy to get 'er rolling....

Tom Hanks

Big

Elizabeth Perkins


(I looked on the DVD case - only a little cheat to get us going  :) )

good one - About Last Night

(by the way, i could play this for the rest of my life, so try me lol....movies are my life)

If you see an error (or what you believe is an error), go ahead and run the IMDB and make the correction.  Just take over from the corrected answer then.  Remember, this is all about having fun and testing some movie trivia muscle.  So let's keep it going as long as we can (and try not to have too many duplicate answers).

Not on your own Paul but I have never heard of half the films you know  ;)  and as I am being good I can't Google them  0:)

Are you accusing me of looking films up!!? :rofl: :rofl:, I dont look them up I just love films and as im off with bad back I watch a lot plus I have an extensive dvd collection over 400 titles,plus I have always had a good memory for films,actors I dont cheat but heres my new entry, :) ;) :D


The Haunting

Cheers

Paul

Um, Paul, I believe Sharon was saying that she's not familiar with a lot of the films you post and since she's not looking them up via Google or IMDB she can't participate...  That's exactly my problem as well...

And the next entry should be someone who was in Grease, not another movie title....

Sooooooooooooooooooo

Stockard Channing

Ok no worries I was only joking anyway


Shallow Hal

How spooky is this.  I was just about to post the following


Actually Paul I think we are at cross purposes with this game.  The idea is that the first person posts an actor.  The next person posts a film that actor has been in.  The third person posts another actor who was in the previous film.  So for example

John Travolta
Grease
Stockard Channing
Practical Magic
Nicole Kidman.  

And so on

Stockard Channing wasn't in Shallow Hal.  Ok my next film

Practical Magic  ;D

ps yes I know you was pulling my leg  ;)

Nicole Kidman (she was in that one right?)

The pirate smilie was the nearest we had to a scary smilie  ;D

Anyway sorry to but in.

My my isnt this getting a bit off the beaten track

Don't get me wrong i'm sure I enjoyed it but for some reason the only thing about this film that comes to mind is that

Brian Blessed

Peter O'Toole (talk about six degrees of separation)

Are we even allowed to repeat people?
