$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?

There is something wrong in a government where they who do the most have the least. There is something wrong when honesty wears a rag, and rascality a robe; when the loving, the tender, eat a crust while the infamous sit at banquets.

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".

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.
