movie links

[Jay!]

My co-worker and I were screwing around with this today, instead of working.

We were picking two movies or actors on the internet movie database (imdb.com) and seeing what the fewest links we could click to get from one to the other. A lot like the six degrees of kevin bacon game, except the movies themselves count as links, too...

Here's an example:

Go from:
Outlaw Josey Wales, The (1976)
To:
Bad Boys II (2003)

The thread:
Outlaw Josey Wales, The (1976) featured Clint Eastwood.
Clint Eastwood was also in Space Cowboys (2000).
Space Cowboys (2000) also featured Tommy Lee Jones. (see where I'm headed? )
Tommy Lee Jones was also in Men in Black II (2002).
Men in Black II (2002) also featured Will Smith.
Will Smith was in Bad Boys II (2003).



So you guys try one of the ones I did today, and see if you can do it in fewer links than I managed...

Go from:
Horse Whisperer, The (1998)
To:
Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971)

I can do it in 8 clicks. That is, I go from movie-to-actor/director/writer(whatever credits are listed as links on the pages I'm on...)-to-movie and so forth eight times, seeing nine pages total, counting my starting point.
