The Movie-TV Connection Game (July 2015)

What do Ryan and John have in common?
Welcome to our latest installment! As always, you will be given a pair or trio of films or performers. Your task is to find the common connection. It could be anything--two stars who acted in the same movie, two movies that share a common theme, etc. As always, don't answer all the questions so others can play, too. There is a single best answer for each question.

1. Basil Rathbone and Laurence Olivier.

2. John Garfield and Ryan O'Neal.

3. Joanne Woodward and Sally Field.

4. Lon Chaney, Sr. and Bela Lugosi (in addition to the Dracula connection).

5. Michael Caine and Basil Rathbone (and Without a Clue is not part of the answer).

6. The TV series Falcon Crest and The Waltons.

7. Born Free and From Russia With Love (there are 2 connections!).

8. Marathon Man and Little Shop of Horrors.

9. The TV series The Colbys and the movie Dracula A.D. 1972.

10. The TV series The Bob Newhart Show and Hitchcock's The Birds.

11. Tommy Kirk and Simone Simon.

12. The TV series The Danny Thomas Show and the movie Muscle Beach Party.

13. Jack Lemmon and Dwayne Hickman.

14. Leslie Nielsen and George Hamilton.

15. The first season of the TV series Bracken's World and Charlie's Angels.
