Any thoughts on Lost World?

I'd probably favor Home Alone in the last spot instead, but don't hate it.

I'm ok with Home Alone also, unless it was an '80s movie.

Home Alone was Christmas-ish 1990. Certain of that.

Speed & Se7en came to mind, but don't like them more than other options. Well, I do in terms of the actual movies...

Back to the game, the mods take bronze!!

Do you guys fancy a third round to see if AE and Luke can claw back some points for the scoreboard?

Ha sorry, I was waiting to see what AE said to see whether I should pretend I only have vague ideas or not.

Did suspect when you corrected the question that meant you knew them all.

Think I have about 20 definites and then a few ideas that I think were probably winter games.

But looks like we have to go for it. I was maybe going to suggest we bid 22 if we didn’t want to bluff low, but sure let’s try 23. I have a feeling at least one of the ones I’m missing is North America so hoping AE can help with that

Will put my list up shortly

Sorry, distracted by work:

Tokyo
Rio
London
Beijing
Athens
Sydney
Atlanta
Barcelona
Seoul
Los Angeles
Moscow

Then I lose track of which were when, but I'm almost certain the following have all hosted:

Rome
Melbourne
Munich
Berlin
Mexico City
Paris

I'm pretty confident of:

Madrid
Stockholm (small chance this was Winter but I'm 90% it was Summer)
Helsinki (bigger chance this was Winter, but maybe 70% it was Summer)

So still missing 3. Was Montreal a Summer games or Winter? Calgary I think was Winter? Same with Oslo? Has Lisbon ever hosted, it doesn't ring a bell?

I feel like maybe another city in the US has hosted too?

Do you agree with Madrid, Stockholm and Helsinki? I'm throwing Montreal into that group too.

I feel like there was definitely another US city, have a vague recollection of Atlanta being the third US city to host. And I don't think there's any others in Asia, South America, Africa or Oceania so the last one must be in Europe.

My shortlist, but none of them sound right, would be:
Oslo
Lisbon
Amsterdam
Copenhagen

but could be anywhere. And for the US city, maybe Boston? I'm pretty sure its not, but I don't even have a shortlist. If you have any ideas of cities that were around and decent sized 1900-1950 I may recognise it

haha yeaaa I don't think I'll be too much help on this one...but can help you decide on some guesses =)

everything I'm thinking of you already have on the main list

not sure on the missing US - I could see Boston...New York seems obvious but I don't remember there being something...maybe Chicago or somewhere in Florida?
