An attempt to entertain the bored people

Here's a little game for anybody that might be quite bored at the moment (Hi Amy!). If you've played before, play again. If you've not played before, play now.

Rules are easy (and do not involve spotting any car number plates you'll be pleased to hear). Take film titles and try and combine them so that the last word of the first is the first word of the second, the last word of the second is the first word of the third and so on. 1 point for each film, bonus 2 points for making a circle. 0 points for films whose title is 1 word unless it's a composite word where you use different parts of the word to link to different titles. Here are a few short ones for example:

1. The Lion King and I Robot - 3 points

2. American Beauty and the Beastmaster and commander... - 4 points

3. Caspar the Friendly Ghost World - 2 points

Note that in no. 2, "beastmaster" is ok because "beast" is used to connect to "beauty and the beast", whilst "master" connects to "master and commander". However, no. 3 only scores 2 even though "Ghost" was a film in its own right. My decision is final in any disputes over scores. Let's play.

Heaven Can Wait Until Dark City Slickers 2 - The Legend of Curly's Goldeneyeless in Gaza Strip Tease for Two Much Ado About Nothing But Trouble in Paradise Road House of the Dead Days of Heaven

I really can't be bothered scoring this. Was thinking of stopping and trying to claim Paradise and Heaven as the same thing, but I know what you'll say.

Iasoanas: Don't think Paradise Lost was a film - so only score 6.

Chip: Circular, so scores 18+2 = 20. Though I suspect a little use of IMDB there?

Damn - didn't think it was that obvious...
