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:
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.

Thought I would get more points by using Bill and Ted 4 and Matrix 4 , but for both Ricci and Fishburn I had the exact 6 most popular answers so it brought me down.

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.

Yeah Vulcano's Assistant I'll always pop in the weird third one in a franchise if it still fits.

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.

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%.

I guess I need to pay more attention to rotten tomatoes. Though it's always a good day when Dungeons and Dragons can fit on the board.

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.

I have never finished any of these quicker, and I absolutely demolished the middle row. Everything was Martin McDonagh.

The best I've ever done, at least going by the percentile it gave me. Top 18%.

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

Tried it again in another browser with just two changes and it was 2530 points instead .

I'm surprised how many people said Carol. It was the second most popular answer I had. Ahead of Spider-man, Batman, and Lord of the Rings!

I spend like 7 minutes trying to remember the name of the film where McAvoy and Jolie curve bullets but just couldn't so by chance I remembered he was in The Last King of Scotland.

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.

Oh neat, they added a Rarest Correct Answer slide to the results.

Which wasn't helpful today, I did terrible.

Jim Office has been in a lot more movies than I remembered.
