Ooh, today's is kind of hard. It's actually really easy to come up with the movies, but you have to be really strategic in how you use them. It is actually possible to do the whole thing without using There Will Be Blood though.

It is.

For example:

Spoiler

The Fabelmans / Little Miss Sunshine / The Batman

Gangs of New York / Nine / The Crucible

Licorice Pizza / The Master / Boogie Nights

I agree, it was the place I put stuff that messed me up. Could have gotten at least one more.

Also would have helped if I could remember which one is PTA and which one is David O Russel.

A franchise-y sort of day.

 

[Vulcano's Assistant]

I relied on franchises today, but using a franchise sequel of less renown in the right place is a really good strat to get low percentage.

Which admittedly does not matter if I can't complete the whole grind.

I'm annoyed that my Tina Fey four plus title came out during the strike because I really wanted to know more about her being in it. It's very much not in her normal wheelhouse.

 

[Vulcano's Assistant]

Sometimes it is as simple as switching places of a popular film and its sequel. There was game were Aquaman and Aquaman 2 could be used interchangeably, and simply putting them in the opposite order made both go from around ~70% to ~20%.

 

[BrightLightLava]

So many options to choose from and still.

[Vulcano's Assistant]

The Dakotas have been in lot of poorly rated films. They knew what they were doing making this combined category. Sure enough my first try at a film that I thought had a chance of being 80+ was nowhere close.

My miss was a guess. She was in it, but it came out in 88.

Obviously should have remembered Galaxy Quest.

It's also always funny to me when I put something down thinking "surely this will be a low percentage" and then it's the most common pick. Why did so many other people say Jingle All the Way? There are so many options there.

Bale and Blanchet are in like 8 best picture nominated films from the top of my head and I end up choosing the most obvious ones, smh

Mr. Yeun hoarding all the one word titles.

Could hardly think of anything with one word for the other two, tried an animated feature but it was a long shot. Then I looked up at Amazon prime on the TV and there's the thumbnail for a recent film that fits. Call it cheating by luck.

Rushed at the start and confused a film with its sequel. Dumb mistake, since I had a few famous choices unused at the end but had no more tries.

Helps that last week I watched Erin Brockovich , if you asked a month ago and I would not have known who directed it.

Trying to not use the obvious one for top left corner I went instead with one of those two Anya Taylor-Joy movies that are a name, but you are not sure if it counts because they are abstract rather than a name name, but at least The Witch counts, so I'm guessing The Northman does too.

I had the same thought process but with Glass. It's what the character goes by, but isn't actually their name.
