Six degrees of kevin bacon is also just a great demonstration of how even a moderately dense network has very few edges between almost any two nodes. It's one of my favorite beginner programming challenges.

If you really want to get into network forensics, at least the people networks at FBI-types deal with, crawl IMDB and look for groups that never or rarely work together. In a TopGear interview Matt Damon (Borne franchise) was asked whether he ever talked to Tom Cruise (Mission Impossible franchise). His answer: "we go to different churches." He didn't mean standard religion. There are some groups who actively avoid each other. But look for links between the recent Batman and Mission Impossible franchises and you;ll see what I mean.
