On the old forum some of us were playing a movie game and having a lot of fun with it. We'd managed to keep the game going for close to two years and I see no reason why we shouldn't start it again here.
Rules of the Game
If you've ever played the game 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon you pretty much know the rules of the game.
Some starts with a move, picks an actor from the cast, and then picks another movie that actor was in. We generally also list the year of the movie since many times there's more than one movie with the same title.
Example:
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid => Paul Newman => The Sting (1973)
The next person in the chain would start with The Sting, pick a member of the cast, and then pick another movie with the cast member chosen.
Pretty simple
A Twist on the Game
Steve and I added a new wrinkle to keep the game interesting. Somehow we started keeping the movies in the 1930s. For a few months we've only chosen movies from the 30s and we've tried very hard not to repeat the name of an actor.
We'd like to continue in that fashion so in addition to the rules above the one additional rule is all movies chosen should be from the 1930s.
We also add a little information about why we chose a particular actor or movie and sometimes list some trivia. It's not technically part of the game, but it's fun.
I'll pick up the thread where we left off at the old forum in my next post.
