The rules for this one are simple. I post the name of a movie, and the next person posts another movie title **which must contain at least one of the words in the previous movie title**. On and on it goes… Example: > [@](#): > > Poster A: _Private Parts_ (starring Howard Stern as himself) > Poster B: _The **Private** Life of Henry VIII_ (1933; starring Charles Laughton and Elsa Lancaster) > Poster C: _ **Life** Is Beautiful_ > Poster D: _ **Life** At The Top_ (1965) You may also post links to pages about the movie (IMDB, fansites, etc.), identify a movie by its stars, or include the year a movie was made. By the way, posting sequels consecutively (or within the same page) is not allowed. Try to keep the movies varied enough that we won’t have a repetition on the same page. 🙂 Let’s start, then… First title is: _The Man in the Iron Mask_ (1939) F\_X ---

_Rain **Man** _ - Dustin Hoffman, Tom Cruise… did you know it? ---

Wouldn’t add a little interest to establish a goal title? Another movie to arrive to, with none of the words of the first one. Example: from _The Man in the Iron Mask_ to _Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines_. Of course we have to ignore “the”, “of”, “in”, etc. ---

Very well then, Terminal Man (Maybe we can overlook the Terminal/Terminator difference) ---

**Grousser** , I prefer my rules… but a goal title might be something to think about, too. 🙂 _The **Man** Who Came To Dinner_ F\_X ---
