So I have seen exactly 200 movies that begin with the letter B and I want you to guess them thunderdome style.

I have got the movies ordered by year of release so when stuff starts getting a little bit obscure it will help you to know where to look.

The list may or may not include shorts or movies that did not have a theatrical release

No Research Allowed

Just post your guess in the thread and I will assume you mean the most popular movie called that title unless you specify a year/director.

The following starting words do not count:

The, La, Le, A,

That means if a movie was called "La Banana" then it would begin with the letter B for the purposes of this game.

First round will last at least 48 hours and possibly longer. I will determine the length of subsequent rounds depending on number of participants, but it will be at least 24 hours and 48 at the weekend.

3 strikes and you're out

I feel this isn't as likely as I'd hope but:

Number Film Name Year
80Bad Boys1995

I won't necessarily update the table each post because that would get very repetitive and annoying in later rounds, but let's look at what this means.

I have seen Bad Boys
It was released in 1995
It is movie #80 in my list which means there are 79 movies released in or earlier than 1995 and 120 movies released in or later than 1995.
Movies within the same year are listed alphabetically

I assume it's intended but I feel like the combination of research allowed + numbered chronological listing will end up making this very research centric after the first few rounds.

I agree. Do you think I should

A - keep things as they are
B - disallow research
C - randomise the list

Lemme know and I'll do what makes most people happy

Option C and or its functional equivalent of "just dont tell us where it lands in your list".

A simple yes, no, and release year as responses imo.

I think just removing the numbers keeps the spirit of what you intended but makes the game more interesting. It still gives people the option to look up B movies and wonder if you might have seen them but removes the tediousness of seeing that #80 and 83 have both been released in 1995 so I better look up what other movies have been released that year since I know there will be 2 more corrects in there.

Forgot to add that no research would actually be my preferred choice.
