20 Questions - Page 1117 - Puzzles and Other Games Forum

So I'm pretty sure the box office thing isn't working correctly. I did the search and got the same 8 results. Then I did the search without the box office info and got 3229 titles. Sorted by box office, and those same 8 were the top 8. Then there are 3 more with tiny box office revenues, then all the other (over 3000) listings have nothing listed for box office info, so I guess it is treating all those as $0. Some of the listings have no box office info given, and some of them do have the info, but you have to click on another page for it to be shown.

I have no clue how to use the IMDb search very well. I'll give others the opportunity to go for it

http://www.imdb.com/search/title

from there it's fairly easy to do.

I love doing movie 20Qs but IMDb takes a lot of the fun out of them.

Do you mean exactly one woman or at least one woman?

So I've ignored the box office gross and looked through the first 100 listed movies and I found 4 possible ones.

Obviously too many in the original list to go through manually, but if we're at 4% already then we're doing well.

Old movies are short so I'm gonna ask:

Is the movie 90 minutes or shorter?

Yes, 90 minutes or shorter.

Just wondering, first 100 in which order?

Yea, I'm bad at IMDB search. I think it put it in right, and I got exactly 1 answer. And it's an Elvis movie, so not with question 13.

The boxx office part of the search is not working; at least most of these older movies don't have box office numbers on the first page, which may be the problem. I think the other search criteria are working.
