Oh Gil, I'm sorry to read about your fracture. Tell you what, it brought back my own broken arm of '85 to me. Ugh. I had a hard time sleeping for quite a while. Let's hope your experience is very different. I'm glad you're getting some good care. Like Leslie said, I hope it means we'll get to see more of you here!

Thanks! I have been around more but this decade is taking forever!

Announcing Another Special Round: Prizewinners!

This is similar to "I Can't Believe We Didn't Play That Movie!" with a twist...every movie that gets played in this round must be a prizewinner. Any sort of prize will do, but it has to be something. When you play the movie, list the prize in a comment.

As always, unplayed movies only (anything from 1950 to the present). Please check the archive if you aren't sure if a movie has been played. It is up-to-date and I have added the movies from the special rounds to their respective years.

Wildcard X is still in effect for this round.

Have fun! PM me if you have questions.

I remember LOVING this movie when it came out! It actually won the Best Director and Best Film César Awards in 1981.

PS: I'm on a computer at the hospital

It turns out I need surgery after all. I asked the doc what type of fracture I had and she said that the technical term is a really bad smashed up fracture
