I propose a new rule: When we reuse a category (like this one) nobody can name a movie that was used the last time. > [@](#): > > Movies featuring babies: > > 1. Three Men and a Baby > 2. Willow > 3. The Incredibles > 4. Raising Arizona > 5. Look Who’s Talking > 6. Eraserhead > 7. Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith > 8. Addams Family Values > 9. 2001: A Space Odyssey > 10. Penny Serenade If you agree: Films that featured a baby prominently: 1. Intolerance (The Mother and the Law sequence) 2. The Hangover 3.

Avoiding repeats is fine by me. Maybe we just need to get more creative in thinking up categories. Films that featured a baby prominently: 1. Intolerance (The Mother and the Law sequence) 2. The Hangover 3. Labyrinth 4. Baby Boom ---

I for one never saw the earlier post. I think a little latitude is warranted. ---

So we have to go back through over 100 pages to find a similar category? ---

Then the OP needs to announce the repeat, and post the original list. Which of course will not happen. Getting more creative has become listing films starring increasingly obscure actors or other credits. ---

Which of course will not happen. Getting more creative has become listing films starring increasingly obscure actors or other credits. I’m not saying we should ban previously used categories. If somebody recognizes that it’s been used, we can continue to name movies. But the person who recognized the previous list can post it and we’ll avoid the movies that were on the first list and come up with ten new ones. Think of the first list as one through ten and the second list as eleven through twenty. And if we happen to reuse an old category and nobody notices it, it’s no big deal.
