2. Captian Cornelli's Mandolin
12. House of Sand and Fog (I did not see the movie, but read the book - same as 6 - and the book was way too depressing.)

oooh #1 Vanilla Sky. *slaps forehead for forgetting*

Clancy - Both correct. For #6 the book completely kicked the movie's sorry ass.
Holly - That's the one!

I just got out of a meeting and saw your quotes. Thank God no one picked #7 yet...It's Serendipity...with John Cusack the Love of my life.

7 is Serendipity.
10 is Chocolat. Dreadful.
13 is Labyrinth.
Hey lady, its against the rules to kick other peoples heads!

It took a while, but 10 finally came to me - Chocolat
btw a great dinner party question (for those that saw it) is to ask what Chocolate symbolized in that movie. Most woman I've asked thought it wa s3x - I think it was a little deeper than that...

Kenny, all correct but also all previously taken except #10.
Clancy, correct but Kenny snagged it second before you.

Well...this is from my husband who says that in The Ice Pirates their ship was called Herpes.
Is there such a movie called Ice Pirates?
If there is What the hell?
Posted by: Tiffani at March 18, 2005 03:27 PM (KE4Gu)

Ice Pirates is one of the funniest movies ever made. The ship wasn't called herpes but there was a high speed grub infesting the ship. It was called a space herpes.
Point for Tiffani!

My 11 year old brother has informed me (after much long distance phone pestering) that #3 is from Hellboy

Ding ding ding!
That's the last clue. Nothing left but the bonus points. Can anybody figure out how all of these movies inter-relate?
Posted by: Jim at March 18, 2005 08:38 PM (MDLz3)
23
They all star women you think are hot?
(Second guess--they all star non-American-born actors, though I'm not sure about Ice Pirates' cast--been a couple decades since I've seen it!)

I just noticed something else--the first two movies have Penelope Cruz, the next two have Ron Perlman, Jennifer Connally is in two of them, Ben Kingsley is in two of them, Johnny Depp is in two of them, Kate Beckinsale is in two of them, John Cusak is in two of them, and Gene Hackman is in two of them. I will admit that I imdb'ed Ice Pirates, or I never would have known Ron Perlman was in it, but I caught all the rest on my own....

Looks like Susie's on to something here. Just a little further, rabbit...a little further...

I saw that, too, Susie. I wasn't sure who was in some of the leaps, since I have never been infected with Space Herpes, so wasn't sure if it was a sharing of the lead stars.
Is it that all the leading ladies are brunette?
Or all the leads are brunette?
Or that they are all six degrees of seperation from Kevin Bacon?
Posted by: Helen at March 20, 2005 05:41 AM (Vd6WF)
27
Yes, that is at least one connection. All the actresses Susie posted are brunettes, as is Juliette Binoche and Gwennie went brunette for her role. The creepy chick in Species is realyl a brunette, too. As is Rachel Weisz in the Jury movie. Heather Graham goes brunette in From Hell. Angelica Huston is brunette (Ice Pirates).
That may not be the connection you were thinking of, but it's a common link in all the films.

28
All brunettes? Mmmm...brunettes...
But Susie had the right idea, she didn't identify all of the links. Here are the links identified so far. What are the others?
1 to 2 Penelope Cruz
2 to 3 ?
3 to 4 Ron Perlman
4 to 5 ?
5 to 6 Gene Hackman
6 to 7 John Cusack
7 to 8 Kate Beckinsale
8 to 9 ?
9 to 10 Johnny Depp
10 to 11 ?
11 to 12 Ben Kingsley
12 to 13 Jennifer Connaly

Yay! Got them. The missing ones, in order, are John Hurt, Anjelica Huston, Sophia Myles, and Alfred Molina. That makes the full list:
1 - 2 Penelope Cruz
2 - 3 John Hurt
3 - 4 Ron Perlman
4 - 5 Anjelica Huston
5 - 6 Gene Hackman
6 - 7 John Cusack
7 - 8 Kate Beckinsale
8 - 9 Sophia Myles
9 - 10 Johnny Depp
10 - 11 Alfred Molina
11 - 12 Ben Kingsley
12 - 13 Jennifer Connelly
3 points, please :-)

You know, looking through all this I've realised one thing: you've got waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much time on your hands.
