I remember...and I thought your observation was brilliant.
What is this...six degrees of Kevin Bacon and "Toy Story?"
Fred Ott --- who?? 20 degrees of Kevin Bacon?
Fred Ott doesn't link at all. He was in only two shorts and he was the only person in both of them.
If you allow directors, you can do it through the director W. K. L. Dickson:
Fred Ott to W. K. L. Dickson (Fred Ott's Sneeze)
W. K. L. Dickson to Sir Herbert Beerbohm-Tree (King John)
Sir Herbert Beerbohm-Tree to Lillian Gish (Intolerance)
Lillian Gish to Lynne Thigpen (Sweet Liberty)
Lynne Thigpen to Kevin Bacon (Novocaine)
[Thanks to IMDb and the Oracle of Bacon.] |

Just caught up with this new forum --
Mo, why is Dog Day Afternoon on your best of 90s list?? Just wondering.
I'm a Dahl fan, too -- he is the master of tumbleweed noir. I think "Joy Ride" was 2000 or 01, or I'd put it on the list, too. |

Well technically 2000 was part of the 20th century so we could call 2000 - 1999+1/2?  |

| I've been trying to come up with a list - but between work and some other things in Real Life, the things I come up with have already been mentioned or aren't in the 1990s. |

Always thought of SIL as a romantic comedy with a touch of fantasy.
I agree about everything. Shakespeare in Love is better than Elizabeth. The cognoscenti do look down on it. And it's overrated: it won the Oscar over the far superior Saving Private Ryan.
Everything.
Oh you can't really compare SIL and Elizabeth (or SPR for that matter) - the only thing the two films had in common was a character named Queen Elizabeth - the comparsion ends there - one is a light romantic comedy the other is more chiefly a historical drama/epic and both are excellent films with leads who truly deserved their nomination |

Red Rock West is the only film in which I was able to find [name?] sexy.
The one who used to be on The Practice. Who looked like she lived on yogurt and celery.
Damn.
Laura something. I want to finish that with "Foster Dulles" but that can't be right.
Ban me now, Lshap, and put me out of my misery. |

| Lara Flynn Boyle of Twin Peaks, MIBII and the fox in the box film. Her charms may have been a bit too overt, but I thought she was pretty sexy. |

Bart - DDA is NOT on my 90's list. I don't even have a list. All I did was say I liked John Dahl, ROUGH MAGIC, SHOWGIRLS, CLUELESS, BOUND, Gina Gershon, and Jeff Fahey and the two swamp girls. |

| I've never seen Bob Roberts. I've always wanted to, but it's never around. Netflix is apparently down to $5.99/month. Seems a good enough reason to rejoin. |
