dawson99 59
Wes 59
scruluce 55
spymeg 38
cinemaniac 37

Same basic rules found here.

I'm going to make question 10 a "reverse" - try to name the one that the fewest other people will. I'll tally up the scores like the other questions, but then the most popular one gets 0 points, and I'll base the other scores from the difference to that score.

Example:

10 people agree on one, 4 people agree on one, and 2 people agree on another. These would normally be scored 10, 4, and 2 points. Instead they'd get 0, 6, and 8 points.

Deadline is noon Central Time, Tuesday June 14th.

CATEGORIES

1- A film directed by Alfred Hitchcock film (Psycho is 0 points).

2 - A Samuel L Jackson film (Pulp Fiction is 0 points).

3 - A film directed by Clint Eastwood in which he does act.

4 - A character from Star Wars I-III (Anakin, Padme, and Obi-Wan are 0 points).

5 - A Tom Hanks film (Forrest Gump is 0 points).

6 - A film directed by Terry Gilliam.

7 - A character from an Indiana Jones film (Indiana Jones is 0 points).

8 - A pre-1970s Disney animated feature (link).

9 - A Disney animated feature released from 1970-1999 (link).

10- REVERSE QUESTION: A film directed my Mel Brooks.

The links provided for 8 and 9 don't list all the possible films. I was trying to assist in your search, not limit the possible answers. Please feel free to submit any answer that fits those categories.

This sound fun. I was disappointed I missed the first one after I read about it.

It's been noticed that the links I provided for 8 and 9 don't list all the possible films.

I was providing these to make the search easier, not to limit the possible answers.

Feel free to send me anything that fits in those categories.

Yes, but did the ones who already send in their answers only used the ones from that list.
In that case it would be foolish for me to pick another.

I didn't look at the list when I picked so I can't tell you if it is on the list or not.

I didn't bother looking at the lists until later. I foolishly assumed it included all Disney films. It did not.

Don't know how to answer that without the possibility of messing this up more. Shouldn't have included the lists in the first place I guess. Damn my thoughtful self.

No damn—thoughtful indeed. Such lists (thankfully) make questions precise. "Disney animated feature" (for example) can mean different things. "A [PERSON] film" could mean "A film starring [PERSON]," "A film featuring [PERSON]," "A film with [PERSON] in the cast," "A film directed by [PERSON]," or something else—maybe even more than one is simultaneously a option in the question asker's eyes. ... Plus, some words like "featuring" and "starring" are imprecise modifiers.

:green: Fortunately for this game, that doesn't matter as much except for a reversed question/round. If you read too much into it, you end up hurting your score.

If anyone sent me an entry in the last couple hours besides McT and Sheila, please resend it. My PM inbox filled up, and something was deleted. Hopefully it was the oldest message, not the newest.

I'd already seen yours :mishchief: and still have it. If there's anyone missing, it would probably have been after 7:30 pm Central time.
