How this all began...

So, if you're wondering how it all started, this is the story.

I moved to Fullerton, California a few weeks ago. During the next few months I'm going to be alone while the wife works and waits for law school to start. Then she'll be coming down here too. In the meantime I have a lot of time to fill. I also have a large movie collection and a Netflix account.

After playing the whole Kevin Bacon movie game I decided that it would be fun to do something similar while watching some great (and not-so-great) films. I picked a title and started. With each film I selected an actor, someone with at least a semi-important role, and used them to pick the next film.

Here's how it's gone so far:
The bolded names are the ones used to pick the next film. I am not using any actor more than once.

So that leaves me at my next selection. I'm not sure what to choose but I'm open to any opinions or suggestions! In the future I'll also be reviewing the films I watch. I'll also be talking about other films I'm watching which aren't part of the game I've got going.
