What did you say? I was thinking of posting an answer, but then I saw Janey's and Maggie's avs and got a little distracted.

OK a lot distracted.

So....

Here's my answer:

Jim Brown was on the Cleveland Browns with ... no wait, that isn't it.

Damn. I so wanted the John Cassavetes answer.

Raquel Welch demanded that she and Jim Brown have a towel between them during their love scenes in 100 Rifles...What fun is that?

This was the poster in Shawshank. And it was on the wall in the HS newspaper office (all boy school). It was inspiring.

[RUlookingup]

I had Jack all the way to Raquel but thought you had to travel through the Cuckoo's Nest...Billy Bibbit to Randall Mc Murphy.....missed that Frances McDormand was also in the recent Jack flick. Yes, that is a famous Raquel poster. It hung in the basement where we used to hang out, 60's retro decor, fluorescent lights, etc., including this poster.

 

[RUlookingup]

No disrespect to Janey and Maggie avs of course, thanks for sharing ladies. Love the views of you "looking up" from wherever you may be lounging.

Even better out of red.

RU, I also went through One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest as well ... I wouldn't typically take two links through the same movie or trilogy, but certainly I am not going to complain about multiple movies in the same trilogy, so long as they don't use the SAME movie. It's up to me to make sure they can't get to the end using both films -- and apparently I did NOT do so here.

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 24 hours; that is, you may post again 24 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 I am jumping in.... both feet first...

Emma Chambers was in Notting Hill with Julia Roberts

 

[mrtnmoon]

humph. I thought this was gonna be tough.

I'm kidding, I'm kidding!!
I count at least 4 that I'm clueless about.

Well, I tried putting pictures of some of them in some of their more famous film roles. Except for the next to last guy on the lower right, they are or were all quite well known in their times. Well, he might have been well known, but not AS big as the others.

Oh, well, the ending actress is probably not too well known, either, but has a very important part in a very well known film.
