July 2021 Movie Challenge: Movie Chain

[Travis]

July Theme: Movie Chain (25 movies)
You start off with a movie by a filmmaker of your choice (actor, actress, director, writer, cinematographer, or composer), then continue with your next selection provided it connects in some way with the previously mentioned filmmaker. For example:

1. Scarface (1983) Actor: Al Pacino —>
2. Carlito’s Way (1993) Actor: Sean Penn—>
3. The Game (1997) Director: David Fincher —>
4. Zodiac (2007) Actor: Mark Ruffalo
5. Thor: Ragnarok (2017)

This will continue until you've reached 25 films total (and beyond if you like).

These can help:
Oracle of Bacon
IMDB Collaboration Search

The other remaining 25 films will be spread out over 5 categories with 5 films per category like we have done in the past.

The Usual Fine Print:

• 50 movies is the goal, but based on your own time and situation you can shoot for more or less, so we have different levels from Coal to Platinum:
  60 Movies - Platinum
  50 Movies - Gold
  40 Movies - Silver
  30 Movies - Bronze
  20 Movies - Copper
  10 Movies - Coal

• If you're going to re-post your entire list every time, please hide it under spoiler tags.
• If you're going to post pictures for the films (poster art or Blu-ray covers, for example) please try not to use GIANT pictures, and if there are tons of them, again - please hide under spoilers.
