A killer quiz was most enjoyable - but I think I'm a bit late for lunch.

Fun game. Thanks! Congrats to the super players.
BTW. Am wondering if any one else's screen freezes and refuses to scroll either up or down. Keep having to log off of the internet and come back on. It only happens on the IMDb2 site and am wondering if it's me or a common thing. I asked in tech help but no replies there yet.

That happened to me on the game a few days ago but I had no problems today.

Plus lots of westerns. Glad that you were able to play. I decided I would just answer the ones I could do with out research😇 Didn't get much sleep last night and wound up taking a nap. By the time I finished dinner and Jeopardy, game over. But I am happy just to be in the DDC.

Great Game and well prepared
Special Congrats to AUSSIE for coming from WAY "down under" and winning WAY over.
37 matches in THIS game is just unbelievable to me.
WOW!!

And Aussie did it WITHOUT doing any research! Just remarkable.
Um.....there may have been one or two......well maybe 9 of the answers I got were movies I haven't seen. I looked through the filmography of the lesser known actors until I saw something with one of the other actors and hoped for the k and v to fall into place.

If the QM is truly on the East Coast he's up quite late. I'm shaking in my Dr. Dentons thinking about what diabolical game he's fashioning for Saturday.

I looked through the filmography of the lesser known actors until I saw something with one of the other actors and hoped for the k and v to fall into place. And there is the secret! First- Do what you know and get those done before others get the obvious. Then, finding names of those who did not have a massive output can make it easier. Beware of Anne Revere, Beulah Bondi, Spring Byington on any contests involving Mothers. You will go crazy trying to make a match too early on in the game. And with Matt making the questions, when you hear hoof beats, it is sometime horses, but more likely, it is going to be zebras. The answer may seem obvious, but Matt rarely does obvious.

Are you suggesting that there's something wrong with my apples ... make that my Impossible 10%-ers, Linda? (Sorry, a talking tree got in the way there). Why, they're a piece of pie and as easy as cake. Even Baby Jane, the littlest of the seven little Garths, can handle them (and whatever happened to her?). Just sayin' that you present a real challenge and if you didn't, it wouldn't be anywhere as much fun. But I do have to forbid my nurses from taking my blood pressure while I am playing a GG.

AUSSIE, YOU DIDN'T SHOW UP UNTIL PAGE 6. HOW DID YOU GET 37?! THAT IS A STAGGERING VICTORY! I BOW TO YOU. That was my thought too when I said AUSSIE started from "way under" (double meaning) and ended way over. As a matter of fact, I think that I had "thrown in the towel" before AUSSIE even entered the GG. I think when I threw up my hands in surrender, Linda and Marsha had commanding leads and you were nipping at my heels. I would say that your advancement after I left the GG was 2nd only to AUSSIE'S. It's not so much that I gave up...but, in effect, I did...............

I'm lucky to have been retired for 6 years and in that time have caught up with a lot of westerns and noirs I'd missed through the years. I counted 24 titles in this quiz which I've seen for the first time since my retirement.
When the quiz is about something other than killers I struggle. Those mothers and children quizzes really are murder.

That's funny Aussie. I do much better with the parent child stuff than the killers. I heartily agree with you and Linda that once you have done the films you actually know, the trick is to look for the actor with the smallest filmography and try to find an Oscar winner in the cast in an appropriate part.
These killers are really hard to get by research . No matter how well you understand the story, no matter how good the summary , it's often unclear who killed whom.
