Do you have to use actors?

No, but ...

TO Kill a Mockingbird has nothing to do with birds.

rather defeats the point. After all, it has nothing to do with Hobbits either. Presto!

If you'll let me suggest a movie after that fiasco, then try Hamlet to LOTR.

Too easy, I'm afraid. Sir Ian McKellen played Hamlet on stage in 1971.

Anyone care to try "Jules et Jim"?

To Kill a Mockingbird had a theme of lost innocence, the same as LotR? I don't know...

It also involved the use of cameras, just like LotR.

I think we will have to stick with actors and particulars to do with them.

I find google very useful

Jules et Jim: Oskar Werner -> Voyage of the Damned: Lee Grant -> Mulholland Dr: Naomi Watts -> King Kong (or is going to be): PJ (!) -> LOTR

Hmm...I think we ought to do this only with movies that have been completed...

So we have to do Amelie - I think that was the title of the movie someone suggested near the start of this thread (post 3) - and To Kill a Mockingbird, and Jules et Jim. Very nice try, though, dancing spawn of ungoliant .

OK, I can do Amelie and To Kill A Mockingbird with only one intervening film in each:

Amelie -> Mathieu Kassovitz -> The Fifth Element -> Ian Holm -> LotR

To Kill A Mockingbird -> Robert Duvall -> Deep Impact -> Elijah Wood -> LotR

But can anyone do Jules et Jim in less than this:

Jules et Jim -> Francois Truffaut -> Close Encounters of the Third Kind -> Steven Spielberg -> Raiders of the Lost Ark -> John Rhys-Davies -> LotR?

Ah, IMDb is a wonderful thing.

Here's a really really easy one if you just go by actors. Forgive me, I am young and didn't know this connection existed till last week.

McCully Culkin (sp?) to LOTR.
