DO NOT READ THIS THREAD BEFORE YOU POST YOUR ANSWERS

People seemed to like the last one.

Object of the game:

Give the most popular answer for each category. You want to match the other people in the game.

Rules:

As stated above, do not read the other posts in this thread until after you have posted.

Pick an answer for each category.  
Number them one to ten.

You get one point for every other person who posts the same answer. So you are trying to guess the most popular answer, not your persaonal favorite or the answer you feel is “best”.

The contest ends on Saturday, August 16, at eleven PM EST. (Although I may not post the results until late Sunday.)

The category is “Classic actors”. For each actor, pick a movie they have appeared in.

1. Humphrey Bogart
2. Henry Fonda
3. Cary Grant
4. Gene Hackman
5. Jack Lemmon
6. Steve McQueen
7. Paul Newman
8. Peter O’Toole
9. Burt Reynolds
10. James Stewart

@Little_Nemo , you may want to give an example of how you want the answers formatted. As I recall, Rebo always did, because it made things easier to count. As I recall her format example, it went something like this:

Make your answers look like this:

1. Answer A
2. Answer B
3. Answer C

… and so on.

Just a suggestion, but it may help with tallying the answers. Hope it helps!
