Do I know you?

(The connection in films...)

Have you ever paid attention to the movies you watch? I mean, have you noticed that such-and-such is in the same movie with this one and also in a movie with that one who was in the movie before with that one and used to work with this one…..?

 

I can’t remember the standing joke in Entertainment that everyone in Hollywood has some connection to everyone else. I have noticed too that it seems I see the same people who someone worked with in another movie with them…Coincidence?

 

Okay, here’s what I have so far…..if you have any to add please email me.

And these are only the movies I have knowledge of in some way. I am sure that there are many many more!
