Six degrees thread ... rebooted

[imnauti]

See, I can't add to the thread at this point, because I am hoping the guy I don't know comes in right after Candice Bergen, and before the guy who I like best as the king's sycophantic advisor. (Well, like in this case is just liking his performance.)

It would make my life easier.

Who the heck is the cigarette smoker?

No clue on the smoker. I'm also stuck on the man next to him and the woman above him in the orange sweater.

Giving some clues, too.

The smoking guy was in the best movie ever made (according to AFI) and was a frequent star in movies written and directed by the wunderkind director of that movie.

There are only three movies that have won the Big Five Academy Awards. The two people that Nauti is looking for starred in one of those movies. Both were nominated for Oscars and one won.

And who we have so far:

Amber Valletta was in Hitch with Kevin James
Kevin James was in Grown Ups with Maria Bello
Maria Bello was in A History of Violence with Ed Harris
Ed Harris was in The Right Stuff with Fred Ward
Fred Ward was in Sweet Home Alabama with Candice Bergen
Candice Bergen was in Carnal Knowledge with Ann-Margret
Ann Margret was in the Cincinnati Kid with Edward G. Robinson

That's the link I thought would be in the list until I found out who Cigarette Guy was ... and now the list includes one of my favorite plot twists of all time.

 

[RUlookingup]

All I know is you all are too good for me.....I like to play....but I don't watch as many movies as you all. You learn though....you do learn.

 

[BradBigBrain]

As is always pointed out...there may be more than one thread that's correct.

I have been gone for a few days so I do not have one ready.. will try to get one together this week but until then.....

I acquiesce to the masses.

I will defer the final answer to someone else.

Wow! Look at Nor go!!

A reminder of the VERY confusing rules:

*I will post an initial picture, a string of pictures in the middle, and then a concluding picture. The first person has to use the initial picture, and one of the pictures in the middle string, and "connect" them when they appear in the same movie. The next person will take the second performer listed in the previous response, and select one of the remaining pictures in the middle string, and find a film those have in common. This continues until there is only one picture in the middle string, which then has to be "connected" to the end picture.
*There may be more than one correct way of navigating through the set of pictures. However, not every choice will let you get all the way through the list. If you think that is the case, and you find yourself stuck, you may back up as far back in the response list as you like and restart the list at that point.
*A person can only post to a particular set once every 12 hours; that is, you may post again 12 hours after your last post on the same set. The clock also restarts with every new set of pictures.
*Only posts in the string that finally makes it to the end will count for points for those that posted on that set.
*The strings will get longer with each correct set of answers (up to a point).
*One last note, these are all film connections ... not television.


Okay, so I'm taking a shot at one of those no set beginning and no set ending puzzles. I believe we determined that if you find a connection that needs to be corrected, you may unravel the thread from either the beginning or the ending as you deem necessary, but there's no need to undo both. Enjoy!
