The object is to come up with at least two actors who have made at least two movies together.
Serial buddy movies (like Dean and Jerry or Bob and Bing) and sequels (like Mel and Danny) are not allowed.
The scoring is the number of actors multiplied by the number of movies.
For example last night I saw Shampoo and realized that Warren Beatty, Julie Christie, and Jack Warden were also in Heaven Can Wait.
That’s three actors times two movies = 6 pts
When I saw Emperor of the North for the first time recently I realized that Lee Marvin and Ernest Borgnine were also in Bad Day at Black Rock and The Dirty Dozen.
Two actors times three movies = 6 pts
Give yourself one bonus point if the movies are of a significantly different genre like science fiction and western or drama and comedy.(somewhat subjective)
Example: Charlton Heston and Edward G. Robinson were in The Ten Commandments and Soylent Green
Two actors times two movies = 4 pts + 1 for significant difference = 5 pts
Sean Connery and Robert Shaw fought to the death in both the Bond thriller *From Russia With Love * and the medieval romance Robin and Marian.
That should be good for 5 points.
Christmas in July (1940) Country Fair (1941) Diamond Jim (1935) The Great Moment Hail the Conquering Hero (1944) The Lady Eve (1941) The Miracle of Morgan’s Creek (1944) Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939) The Murder Man (1935) The Palm Beach Story (1942) Salty O’Rourke (1945) Sullivan’s Travels (1941)
Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau were in The Odd Couple, Grumpy Old Men, The Front Page, The Grass Harp, The Fortune Cookie, JFK, Out to Sea and probably others that I’m not remembering (excluding Odd Couple 2 and Grumpier Old Men).
Two actors times seven movies + (I’ll be conservative) 4 for significant difference = 18 points.
