Wikipedia wrote: Six degrees of separation (also referred to as the "Human Web") refers to the idea that, if a person is one step away from each person they know and two steps away from each person who is known by one of the people they know, then everyone is at most six steps away from any other person on Earth.

In this case, we'll be using actors and connecting them with movies that they've acted in with other actors.
I guess we can use directors and other film-making roles too. :)

Well I normally do it through crew members when me and my mates play it. But that is the right idea though. I can't think of actors or films that connects them tbh.

I guess that works. I was thinking more that they've met or worked with. I'm not sure Nolan has ever been in the same room as Miller.
I made sure it worked when I posted it and this is what I came up with

Christopher Nolan
directed The Dark Knight, which starred
Christian Bale
played Melvin Purvis in Public Enemies, a character that shot Pretty Boy Floyd, played by
Channing Tatum
had a small part in a movie called Havoc, that starred
Anne Hathaway
co-starred in Passengers with
Patrick Wilson
was Nite Owl in Watchmen, directed by
Zack Snyder
