This game is for the movie lovers. Just like the game you can buy in stores, try to link two actors together using a series of films (no more than 6). The first to get it gets to name the next two actors to be linked.

The following example takes 3 degrees:
Tom Cruise & Harrison Ford
1. Tom + Cuba Gooding Jr. = Jerry McGuire
2. Cuba + Josh Hartnett = Pearl Harbor
3. Josh + Harrison = Hollywood Homicide

Now you try. Who can link Sigorney Weaver with Mel Gibson?

    Hmm, never saw "The Royal Tannenbaums." Good catch though. Your turn to give a couple names. And just to be clear, you don't actually have to link them all to Kevin Bacon.

Ok, I will try yours...
