Just realised Deep Cover's IMDb rating was too high. What was wrong with Richochet, Sniper and The Specialist, do you remember?

It is its third genre on Robo 1 but not Robo 3 but yeah it probably is so I guess I will edit answer 20 if I can as Robo 3
is scifi even though imdb does not have that in top 3.

Nix RoboCop3 and go with The Cowboy Way as #20.

Nice pickup on Sniper.

I think the Oscar Nom thing was "at least" one cast member.

It was changed and I went with the second one.
Maybe we need clarification before we finalize.

Right but it is still scifi don't you think? The original was scifi so this one would have to be scifi by default.

Could we get clarification on two things before we guess #20.

1) Are your genres based only on what Imdb states?

2) Which of these two statements you made is the answer you want to use for the original question?

At least one cast member has been nominated for an acting Oscar.

One cast member has been nominated for an acting Oscar.

Thanks

If the answer to question 1 is yes then we definitely have to go RoboCop3

2. Use the second one. I changed it after one of the questions asked if more than one person had an acting Oscar.

Grrrrr

Gonna trace back and figure out where I went wrong. Asking whether the lead was the Oscar winner and pinning down when he/she was nominated seems optimal. That movie is some decent cheese.

Yeah, that's where I thought you were gonna go after the Oscar nom question. But going that route only really works well if they did actually win. Otherwise you can use up a ton of questions just pinning the actor down.

I would have been okay with year range nominated and/or whether they got the nom before or after the movie in question. It was the hardest data we had and I could have looked at the eligible people and thought about possibilities without having to imdb every one of them.

Live and learn, this is the first movie one I've done here iirc
