For the most part the balance is right, it would be boring if every post was the main actor from a movie most people have seen. Its meant to be a bit of challenge. It works best if when posting an easy movie you post a tricky shot, with an obscure movie you can post shots that can give little clues, known actors etc, remember research IS allowed.
You have to remember too that this thread has been going for years, it has over 20,000 posts, people get stuck for ideas.
I agree with most of what you say, but tv movies are rare in the first place, and when we add the British/80s factors, then it is nearly impossible even
with research.
I'm a pretty good researcher (got one or two already through research), but
tv + British + 1980s = nearly impossible
Now, if you're from the UK like yourself, then it may not be as hard.
The tv part, though, is what threw me off. I wouldn't have even thought to research tv movies since I consider them separate from "regular" movies. I wasn't aware this was allowed since there are sooooooo many films to choose from anyways. I suppose it would broaden the possibilities for posts, but I'm sure that the chance of them not being answered correctly is exponentially higher.
