From IMDb:

In 1898 Cuba, U.S. troops who have survived the Spanish-American War are now dying by the hundreds from disease -- yellow fever, known as "yellow jack." Major Walter Reed, an Army physician, struggles to find the cause of the infection and to overcome governmental interference. When an answer seems at last possible, Reed decides that the only way to test the theory is to expose his own men to the disease. He cannot order men to undergo the test, yet finding volunteers seems impossible. Without them, though, "yellow jack" will perhaps kill millions.

Four our next round, a slight variation on a suggestion from Oilgun....

The Critter Round

In other words, movies with an animal, bug, or other critter in the title.
("Must Love Dogs" eg).

The animal, bug or critter can be buried in a word ("Ratatouille")

Colours turned out to be easier than I expected. Let's see how we with this one!

Note regarding the archive: I have all the rounds posted, so every movie that has been played is listed in the archive. What I have not had time to do is add movies from the special rounds to their respective years. I think I am about 5 rounds behind on that. So...what I suggest is that you use ctrl-F to do a search, and search on a keyword in a title you are interested in. Sometimes if you try to do an exact title search it fails, because the movies are listed with The or A at the end, not the beginning. I hope this makes sense! Let me know if you have questions!

Have fun!
