If someone cares that much about the fact I don’t know anything about the Civil War beyond Licncoln, Lee and Grant they can have at it.
- Kansas
- Huh?
- ’ ville (that movie where the kids got stuck in B/W via the TV)
- The City.
- Pussy
- Patriots
- Pi=3.14…
- All You Need is Love
- Volleyball
- Jefferson Davis
Looks like we got our 51, results to follow.
Re the film after 2000 in B&W, here are the answers given with release dates and other notes:
The Man who wasn’t there - 2001
Good Night and Good Luck - 2005
Primer - 2004 (but not in B&W)
Sin City - 2005 (top answer?)
Pleasantville - 1998
American History X - 1998 and not in B&W
Clerks - 1994
The Good German - 2006
Schindler’s List - 1993
Coffee and Cigarettes - original short 1986, but redone in full length in 2003
Persepolis - 2007
Greenfield? - Maybe an answer for the Simpsons question?
Memento - 2000 not in B&W
Pi - 1998
Grindhouse - 2007 (was this B&W)?
The Call of Cthulu - 2005
Paradise - no film by this name after 2000, none that I can tell are B&W. There is a Paradiset from 2003 that is Swedish that may fit the bill on translation.
I was confused. As I often am. I was thinking of Pleasantville, but didn’t give myself time to research anything. So, came up with a similar name, that gives me a nice big buzzer.

edit 344 points
Umm, can I have a score please??
I know I’m bad at this game, but I didn’t think I was that bad
well now,
seems to me that if more than one person said “none” or words to that effect, then I do not have 3 strikes - and whoever they are have one strike less.
OK
Zebra The extra point is the number of strikes you got.
CatInASuit Three strikes and you get a zero score.
anyrose I will check it out.
Actually, on re-reading the rules, I guess I really am that hopeless with the most strikes.
Ho Hum.
anyrose and [CatInASuit** I have included your answers for number 2. Meaning anyrose you have 206 points putting you in 41st. CatInASuit it moves you from 5 strikes to 4.
WooHoo! my first top ten finish, and I won! These games are very fun, and I hope the next one is up soon.
Congrats, Wallflower!
