My list is:

The Interview
Entourage
The Internship

If anyone has others, please add and run with it.

With three questions left, we can really only work with four movies. If you have something better than mine, remove one to have four max.

Otherwise, just go through the list - "is it X?"

you're assuming it's comedy and not crime then? Or you couldn't find any crime movies?

I suppose that is true. OTOH, crime is often paired with comedy or a forbidden category.
I'll check it out more.

Is Drama listed as a Genre on IMDb
20 Questions Quote
08-16-2017 , 11:44 AM
Potential crime:

True Story
Our Kind of Traitor
The Iceman

.
However, the observation about four movies still holds.

If someone wants to choose four movies and binary them down, go for it.

You can have the 20Q and a guess btw

So that pretty much elmininates Comedy - if it still is, we'll probably never get it.

So Crime possibilities:
True Story
Our Kind of Traitor
The Iceman
Victor
The Rover

Out of those, two have one of the top two stars nominated for an Oscar,

so - next Q - have either of the top two stars ever been nominated for an Oscar?

I'm going with The Rover.

Two of the Stars from the other two have me pretty doubtful that they meet the criteria...

Yeah - one is Cuban and I wouldn't class him as a white male, the other has a similar last name and is from Cuba too but can't find photos.

So yeah, my guess is The Rover.

I dunno, probably. Have you really not heard of any of them? I've seen all of them apart from Prince Avalanche.

There are other possibilities, but it gets pretty obscure after that.
