Thanks Rebo. These are fun. I’m not too embarrassed by my score. ---

Top 10, and I’m not particularly embarrassed by any better answers than mine except probably ‘Like Mike’ for a movie with a ball. I had singletons, but they are defensible. ---

I’m surprised I tied for third place when I missed several of the top answers. Thank you, Rebo. ---

That Castaway won for movies featuring a ball is just simply brilliant. Love it. Thanks Rebo! ---

I’m surprised I got #6 with my multiple singletons as well. Though I’m also very disappointed in all of you who didn’t immediately think “Jaws” when asked to name a movie with a boat in it. ---

I noticed something interesting for all us pedants about _Cast Away_. For the movie _Cast Away_, the title is split into **two words** , meaning “thrown out” or “abandoned” rather than **castaway** as **one word** , meaning lost at sea. It’s a subtle difference, but Chuck certainly feels like the former, as well as the latter. Especially at the end when Kelly has finally given up and remarried, and Chuck is indeed “cast away.” ---

There actually was a movie titled _Castaway_. It starred Amanda Donohoe and Oliver Reed and was released in 1986. It was based on a true story about Lucy Irvine, a woman who chose to live on an uninhabited island (with one other person) for a year. ---

> [@Prof.Pepperwinkle](#): > > Ha! I beat Bayaker! That’s gotta be my worst game ever, and one of the most fun ones I’ve played. Woohoo - last place! Uniqueness is not a bad thing - Yeah, I’ll keep telling myself that. I forgot that this about popular answers, not the first thing that pops into _my_ head 🙂 ---

I well-remembered that it was about the most popular answer and cogitated deeply about each one. Still fourth from last. _Cast Away, Easy Rider_ and _Jaws_ never entered my mind. So, yeah, uniqueness. What you said. ---

It might be fun to try and get a perfect 10 (or maybe better to get a perfect 10 without trying). Now, you could of course just use nonsense or obscure answers, but coming up with answers that _could_ match someone else but that no one else actually picks would be a challenge. I generally go with my first thought (which is where _Like Mike_ came from - my kids loved that movie back in the day), so if my mind were wandering down various trivia canyons I could see me getting there. ---

Nope, it doesn’t work like that. You didn’t claim your victory in time and it expired. On an unrelated note. Hey silenus, there’s something really cool down at the bottom of this well. Just lean over the edge and look down while I stand here. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/would-you-like-to-play-a-game-new-feud/942066.md?page=3)
