I love this theme! I'm a criterion nut! I would recommend Arsenic and Old Lace, Bringing Up Baby, Rushmore, Devil in a Blue Dress, Old Boy, The Red Shoes and anything from Inarritu, Lynch and Almodovar

No Country for Old Men. Quirky, suspenseful and Javier Bardem was flat out creepy!!

Although I really love the Breakfast Club and WALL-E, I would definitely recommend Bong Joon Ho's Parasite. Such an excellent FRESH modern day film in a time where everything feels like a remake or sequel.

I know what it is, but I couldn't name a single film in the collection. I could make some guesses, and I might be right, but there is no film which I solidly know is part of it. And I don't know who decides or how they decide which films to include.

Who runs this site? I put Brendan Fraser in Scattergories because he won an Oscar in 2022, but I'm told that's wrong.

Apparently Bogart was wrong too although he won in 1951. Not sure who they’re looking for

Yep. 2022 Best Actor for The Whale. I wonder if Scattergories just has a big list of possible answers, or some sort of AI? Either way they missed that one.

Far too many great classics to choose from. I'm a little insulted that John Singleton wasn't included in today's Down Words...

@Flash I feel bad for you that you have to keep answering this question. It's up to you, of course; however, perhaps you could make a post stating that you're working on resolving the issue for whoever's missing coins. Just trying to help. Have a good day
