Ducks & Angels. What more could you want?

Bascially, we decided to use John Williams to get to The Terminal since major composers should be included as critical cast on movies, so tonight, from The Terminal, we headed to Mercury Rising - a DVD that I bought sight unseen years ago and still had not seen to this date (unfortunately, I have too many DVDs like that). I'm not quite sure where we'll go off Mercury Rising, but our options are plentiful with Bruce Willis & Alec Baldwin.

Movies to date in reverse order:
Mercury Rising (Chi McBride and T.B.D.)
The Terminal (John Williams and Chi McBride)
Star Wars: Episode VI (Anthony Daniels and John Williams))
Star Wars: Episode V (Peter Mayhew and Anthony Daniels)
Star Wars: Episode IV (James Earl Jones and Peter Mayhew)
The Hunt For Red October (Stellan Skarsgård and James Earl Jones)
Ronin (Jean Reno and Stellan Skarsgård)
Godzilla (1998) (Ben Bode and Jean Reno)
Empire Records (Liv Tyler and Ben Bode)
Armageddon (Owen Wilson and Liv Tyler)
Permanent Midnight (Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson)
Keeping the Faith (Edward Norton and Ben Stiller)
Rounders (Edward Norton - Starting Film)

Since my last post regarding the DVD association game, a lot has happened. Star Wars episodes IV-VI have been seen and another DVD has been watched. Today, during lunch, I picked up the "Three-Disc 'Limited Edition' The Terminal" on DVD, starring Tom Hanks & Catherine Zeta-Jones - one of my favorite movies from the past year. So, since the last movie to be seen was Star Wars, Episode VI, there was no way to connect it without going through a lot of steps. I argued that we should be able to follow by the composer of the score as John Williams is quite famous and a good way to get from film to film (we can only use him once though). I'll probably try and branch off of The Terminal with our next film, though Greg wants to go with Willow following Star Wars. We'll see what happens. Thus far:

The Terminal (John Williams (Score) and T.B.D.)
Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (Anthony Daniels [C3PO] and Kenny Baker [R2-D2] or John Williams (Score))
Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (Peter Mayhew [Chewie] and Anthony Daniels [C3PO])
Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (James Earl Jones [Vader's Voice] and Peter Mayhew [Chewie])
The Hunt For Red October (Stellan Skarsgård and James Earl Jones)
Ronin (Jean Reno and Stellan Skarsgård)
Godzilla (1998) (Ben Bode and Jean Reno)
Empire Records (Liv Tyler and Ben Bode)
Armageddon (Owen Wilson and Liv Tyler)
Permanent Midnight (Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson)
Keeping the Faith (Edward Norton and Ben Stiller)
Rounders (Edward Norton - Starting Film)

Technically, Shawn Williams worked on both The Terminal and Willow, so we could go Episode VI » The Terminal » Willow, but if we included everyone in the sound department, we would never have any hard choices to make. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what movie pops up next.
