Okay, I've been playing with doing this programatically. I'm not yet convinced that it's bug free, but I've found some rather long movie title chains using the non-imdb list posted earlier: 10 ITEMS OR<LESS> THAN<ZERO><DAY> FOR<NIGHT> AND<DAY> OF THE<DEAD><BANG> BANG YOURE<DEAD><END> OF<DAYS> OF<HEAVEN> CAN<WAIT> UNTIL<DARK><BLUE><CAR> 54 WHERE ARE<YOU> CAN COUNT ON<ME> MYSELF<I> AM TRYING TO BREAK YOUR<HEART><CONDITION><RED><DAWN> OF THE<DEAD><HEAT> AND<DUST> TO<GLORY><ROAD><HOUSE> OF<DRACULA> DEAD AND LOVING<IT> CAME FROM BENEATH THE<SEA> OF<LOVE> AND<DEATH> BECOMES<HER> MAJESTY MRS<BROWN><SUGAR> AND<SPICE><WORLD> TRADE<CENTER><STAGE><FRIGHT><NIGHT> AND THE<CITY> OF<ANGELS> WITH DIRTY<FACES> OF<DEATH><SHIP> OF<FOOLS> RUSH<IN> COLD<BLOOD><BEACH><PARTY><GIRL> IN THE<CADILLAC><MAN> OF THE<HOUSE> OF<FRANKENSTEIN> AND THE MONSTER FROM<HELL><NIGHT> FALLS ON<MANHATTAN> MURDER<MYSTERY><ALASKA> SPIRIT OF THE<WILD><BILL> AND TEDS BOGUS<JOURNEY> TO THE CENTER OF THE<EARTH> GIRLS ARE<EASY> COME EASY<GO><NOW> YOU SEE HIM NOW YOU<DONT> BOTHER TO<KNOCK><OFF> THE<BLACK> AND<WHITE> WATER<SUMMER><LOVERS> AND OTHER<STRANGERS> WHEN WE<MEET> JOE<BLACK> HAWK<DOWN> TO<YOU> CANT TAKE IT WITH<YOU> LIGHT UP MY<LIFE> AS A<HOUSE><PARTY><MONSTER><HOUSE> PARTY<3> NINJAS KICK<BACK> TO<SCHOOL> OF<ROCK><STAR> TREK IV THE VOYAGE<HOME><ALONE> IN THE<DARK><CITY> OF<JOY><RIDE> THE HIGH<COUNTRY><LIFE> IS<BEAUTIFUL><GIRLS> GIRLS<GIRLS> WILL BE<GIRLS> JUST WANT TO HAVE<FUN> AND FANCY<FREE> WILLY 2 THE ADVENTURE<HOME> ALONE<3> NINJAS KNUCKLE<UP> CLOSE AND<PERSONAL><BEST> OF THE<BEST><MEN> CRY<BULLETS> OVER<BROADWAY> DANNY<ROSE><RED><EYE> FOR AN<EYE> OF<GOD> TOLD ME<TO> DIE<FOR> YOUR EYES<ONLY> THE STRONG SURVIVE A CELEBRATION OF<SOUL><FOOD> OF<LOVE> WALKED<IN> AND<OUT><COLD><FEVER><PITCH><BLACK> LIKE<ME> WITHOUT<YOU> ONLY LIVE<ONCE> IN THE<LIFE> OR SOMETHING LIKE<IT> HAPPENED AT THE WORLDS<FAIR><GAME> OF<DEATH> WISH V THE FACE OF<DEATH><WISH> UPON A<STAR> TREK THE MOTION<PICTURE><BRIDE> OF<FRANKENSTEIN> MEETS THE WOLF<MAN> ON<FIRE> IN THE<SKY><HIGH> SCHOOL<HIGH><SPIRITS> OF THE<DEAD> OF<NIGHT><MOTHER><NIGHT> OF THE LIVING<DEAD> MAN<WALKING> AND<TALKING> ABOUT<SEX> AND THE OTHER<MAN><TROUBLE> EVERY<DAY> OF THE<WOMAN> ON<TOP><GUN><CRAZY> AS<HELL> UP IN<HARLEM> RIVER<DRIVE> ME<CRAZY><PEOPLE> WILL<TALK><RADIO><DAYS> OF THUNDER That's 175 titles strung together. The <> bracketed words are the ones which are the last of one title and the first of another. Lot's of two-word titles show up in this chain. By the way, a word about IMDB and data scraping. Quite a few years ago, as an exercise in learning Java, I decided to write a program which would look for "six degrees of Kevin Bacon" links between actors in the IMDB. This was a spare moment project at work. After a few days, I got an e-mail from IMDB saying that they had detected my 'robot' and had disabled access to IMDB from my ip address, which to them was the proxy server for the company (Object Technology International). So OTI didn't have access to IMDB for a few days while they considered my contrite reply and promise to cease and desist. -- Rick DeNatale My blog on Ruby http://talklikeaduck.denhaven2.com/
