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.

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

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.

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

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.

@JAMHANDS I've never seen The Room (2015), but I'm sure she earned her Oscar.

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
