$500: Ugh! No clue. ATA.

But after that little bump in the road, I'll be going for $25K with two lifelines.

No problems for me so far. At least this time, they didn't ask the contestant to pick from among four 75-year-old musicals the one that didn't have Ginger Rogers...

So...if I post a movie review regularly here, can I call myself a "film critic" too? :lol:

The only reason I knew that one was from watching The Oscars, or maybe pre-Oscar buzz that year.

I only know this because I saw stills from the movie on the scifi.com Web site.

Wow, I actually did OK with this stack - no lifelines needed. But "tomorros is another day" and it's possible that I'll "die another day".

We always thought you were a film critic, KT, along with SSS.

A little better on this stack although it sounds like there were a couple of video segments so no idea how I might have done with those.

But no clue at 16K as I don't watch the TV show, much less the movie.

Will be interesting to see if this "film critic" can crack the 25K level as I still think it will be rare unless they have sought out more contestants with some semblance of a movie background.
