Over the last few days, whilst bored, I've compiled a little puzzle for peeps at work. Taking inspiration from the fact that every film actor can be linked to every other film actor (and Kevin Bacon) using at most six steps, your challenge is to link the following fifty names, Bacon to Bacon, using only feature films and never using the same film twice. Multiple films from the same franchise/series are allowed, as are voice acting roles.

Kevin Bacon, Meryl Streep, Uma Thurman, Dwayne Johnson, Samuel L Jackson, Harrison Ford, Sean Connery, John Cleese, Cameron Diaz, Tom Cruise, Dustin Hoffman, Robin Williams, Matt Damon, Morgan Freeman, Elijah Wood, Hugo Weaving, Ian McKellen, Benedict Cumberbatch, Alice Eve, Simon Pegg, Martin Freeman, Alan Rickman, Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson (again), Liam Neeson, Bill Nighy, Orlando Bloom, Johnny Depp, Alfred Molina, Kirsten Dunst, Robin Williams (again), Pierce Brosnan, Robert Carlyle, Ewan McGregor, Christopher Lee, Karl Urban, Leonard Nimoy, Ricardo Montalban, Leslie Nielsen, Mr. T, Sylvester Stallone, Carl Weathers, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Chris O'Donnell, Jim Carrey, Morgan Freeman, Alan Rickman (again), Tim Allen, Tom Hanks, Kevin Bacon (again)

Is this individual effort or as a group. Cause I don't really watch films, but I could probably fill in a few gaps.

Nah, anyone can have a go.

It's going to take some pretty good going to connect 50 people in less than six connections. Why are some in twice anyway? Is there some logic to the people chosen?

Brosnan to Carlyle is "The World is Not Enough"

oh and Liam Neeson/Billy Nighy is love actually.

I know the Diaz Cruise one but can't remember the name properly. I'm assuming we're not allowed to google. It's a real cheesy name, Knight and Day or something like that.

Mark James wrote:I know the Diaz Cruise one but can't remember the name properly. I'm assuming we're not allowed to google. It's a real cheesy name, Knight and Day or something like that.

Yeah it's Knight and Day.

Elijah Wood/ Hugo Weaving/ Ian McKellen is (any of the) Lord of the Rings and then The Hobbit.

I also don't know for sure, but I would assume one of the connections for Leonard Nimoy (not sure which one) would be Star Trek oriented.

The very first one is The River Wild I think. Was on when I worked in the pictures.

Oh, and Liam Neeson to Bill Nighy probably works through Love Actually.

And Predator for Carl Weathers to Arnie?

Matt Damon and Morgan Freeman - Invictus

Got a few more. Ewan McGregor/Christopher Lee is one of the Star Wars prequels. I think it was more than one so wasn't sure which one to put in so I left it blank.

Leslie Nielsen --> Mr T, would that be Airplane, or maybe the sequel?

More added in (I'm not the one getting these btw, it's all Michelle!)

Total: 39/48

9 to go!!

(10 to go Ryan, you've missed Kevin Bacon (again) off the bottom)

All looking good so far, you've even found a couple of connecting movies I hadn't initially thought of. I'll happily do another (slightly better-researched) one of these if there's demand for it. The one I'm surprised is eluding people so far is the Diaz-Cleese connection, which I thought was piss-easy when you remember that voice roles are allowed.

I am sure L Jackson was like some stereotypical token black guy in one of the Jack Ryan movies, like a taxi driver or a small-role friend or something..... yup, had to Google to remember which one it was though so not mentioning here but the tip remains if it rings anyone else's bell.

In that case Diaz-Cleese is Shrek 3.

Freeman to Wood - was Freeman in Sin City?

Sean Connery to John Cleese....Time Bandits

Dustin Hoffman to Robin Williams.....Hook

Meryl Streep/Uma Thurman - Prime

UPDATED!

48/49

JUST SAMUEL L JACKSON AND HARRISON FORD TO GO!!

Made sure I didn't miss the main man off the bottom this time!
