Just a little game i cooked up, akin to 'Six Degrees with Kevin Bacon' (which now should be Six Degrees with Bruce Willis). IMDB, of course, is the best movie resource on the internet. So let's say i'm about to watch a film. Instead of typing the name in IMDB to look it up, the challenge is to start from the front page and get to that movie entry with the fewest mouse clicks, and without using the keyboard. As an example, i did today's DVD on Tap: Devil in a Blue Dress.
On the IMDB frontpage, i clicked on Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (last weekend's #2 at the box-office)
Clicked on Jude Law (the cool Sky Captain)
Among his movie credits, he played a hitman in Road to Perdition (so click on that one)
Road to Perdition stars Tom Hanks, of course (you know where this is going)
One of Tom Hanks' greatest films is Saving Private Ryan ...
... where his Sergeant was Tom Sizemore ...
... who's the bad guy in (viola!) Devil in a Blue Dress.

7 clicks. Not bad.
