Movie to Movie Chain Game(using IMDB)

[dognosh]

I was messing about on IMDB then thought how interesting this would be, no doubt it has been done before, but hey ho lets see if it has interest in here
rules when making a new chain :
1. no more than 6 movies from start to finish
2. if chain is over 4 movies then a hint(see my example) must be given
3. movies must be for big screen and fairly well known,same goes for the actor/actress link
4. you must make a chain from movie to actor/actress then to movie then actor/actress etc.

5. winner makes up next game


ok, I'll start you off
"BEN HUR" to "THE GREAT ESCAPE" via "OVERBOARD"(also a clue)
here is the starting point http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0052618/
get to "THE GREAT ESCAPE"(but make sure you go through "OVERBOARD")

example of ALIEN to MISS POTTER
ALIEN
TOM SKERRITT

alternatively...
