Hoo, Boy. I apologize to **Love Rhombus**. It is rude to redirect someone else’s thread, or change the rules of someone else’s game, and I used to know that. I hope the OP will come in and tell us whether s/he is okay with the change, and I would encourage everyone posting to just do so as originally invited until that happens. ---

**Love Rhombus** , you are more gracious than I was polite. Thanks. **Lumpy** , I’m stumped. _Copper Canyon_ is too obscure, _Niagara_ doesn’t fit in the modern era, and _The Wire_ isn’t a movie. Still thinking, but, good clue. **CalMeacham** , I like your suggestion, but **mbh** ’s also mostly fits, and is punchy. I couldn’t do better than either. ---
