*Good* movie.  Even without the cameos it is a huge boon to players of 
this game.  I mean, Whoopi Goldberg and Lyle Lovett?

I've never played Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon in my life, but my dh and 
I have a game that's very similar:  one of us names two things, 
people, whatever, and the other tries to figure out how he/she got 
from one to the other.  It emerged spontaneously, IIRC, from one of 
those conversations where there's a long silence and then one person 
suddenly says "and that reminds me . . . " and the other says "HUH?" 
and the first person laughs and tries to remember the train of thought 
that occurred during the silence.
