One person picks two actors who never worked together and the other player/team has to come up with the plot of the movie. Actors can be any age they appeared on film, so someone like Helen Mirren can be anywhere from 18 to 81 years old.

Here are a few of the better combinations we came up with.

Bruce Lee and Marlene Deitrich

Leslie Howard and Gary Coleman

Christina Applegate and Christina Ricci

James Earl Jones and Marlon Brando

Christina Applegate and Christina Ricci

I'd put them both fresh out of high school age in a film like Adventureland, mashed up with a Breakfast Club theme. Just a bunch of young adults figuring out where to go next in life.

The one we came up with was Ricci as the daughter of James Garner. He's a Texas oilman and she's a Yale/Harvard MBA who is super focused on being the next CEO. Applegate is Daddy's hot new wife. We were playing teams and there was a lot of back and forth as to whether Applegate should be a total airhead, a scheming psychopath, an eco-freak who hates oil, or some combination...

What we came up with.

1930s Shanghai. Bruce was high up in the Hong Kong underworld but killed the boss's son in a sparring match gone bad. Marlena runs a casino. He becomes her bodyguard enforcer, but he finds out she's spying for both the British and the Japanese.

English Civil War. Howard is a cavalier. Well bred, well read, a swordsman, a lady's man, a poet, a scholar, and a soldier. He's blinded when a cannon explodes in a battle and is captured. Coleman is another prisoner of the roundheads. He's a travelling one man circus who does whatever he has to. The warden makes Coleman be Howard's 'seeing eye dog' They eventually become friends and when Howard's eyes begin to improve they plan an escape

Marlon is an English lord exiled to the American colonies circa 1700. He's losing his mind due to an STD. Billy Bob Thornton owns a small plantation and hopes to improve his lot by catering to the lord's family back home. Thornton has promised to keep Brando happy and out of trouble. Jones is an elderly slave that Thornton brought cheap. He was his old master's lifelong companion. He secretly knows how to read. Thronton assigns Jones to Brando, tellign his to keep the Englishman safe. When Brando proves to be uncontrollable, Billy decides it would be smarter to just kill him and blame Jones.
