The Sound of Music -> Christopher Plummer -> Hannover Street -> Harrison Ford -> Star Wars -> (George Lucas ->) Attack of the Clones -> Christopher Lee.
Another variation wiould be:

The Sound of Music -> Christopher Plummer -> The Man Who Would Be King-> Sean Connery-> Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade -> John Rhys-Davies-> LOTR

Can anybody connect Spider-Man to LOTR???

Now that's an easy one:

Spider-Man -> Kirsten Dunst -> Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind -> Elijah Wood -> LotR

No-one has done Braddock yet.....
I assume that you mean the Chuck Norris film. More difficult, but:

Braddock: Missing in Action -> Chuck Norris -> Firewalker -> John Rhys-Davies -> LotR

6 Degrees of Separation, eh? That rings a bell. That should include both the films and the actors, since it seems to me that most of these connections can be made using no more than two films between the starting point and LotR.

So, how about Metropolis (that's the 1927 Fritz Lang-directed one)?

Wonderful Saucepan! I didn't think anyone could do it but you are indeed proving to be something of a master at this game.

I was indeed talking about the Chuck Norris films, which I rank up there as among the funniest films ever (though they're not intentionally funny).

Okay. Here we go...

Metropolis > Fritz Lang > Human Desire > Glenn Ford > Superman > Marlon Brando > Godfather Trilogy > Al Pacino > Insomnia > Hilary Swank > Affair of the Necklace > Jonathon Pryce > POTC > Orlando Bloom > LOTR.

Very long, I'll admit, but if anyone can do better they're welcome to try...

Cheers,

wow....Bravo Bekah. That was good. SaucepanMan is excellent as usual.

How about Roman Holiday(1953)?

*Ahem*

Roman Holiday - the basis for a POTC fic entitled 'Caribbean Holiday' which has since been taken down off www.fanfiction.net...*trails off*

Now, seriously....Roman Holiday stars Gregory Peck, who's in 'To Kill a Mockingbird'.

Saucepan Man connected that....

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

Cheers,
