Ausgezeichnet! German tidbit: This translates literally to "out of sight" reminiscent of the hippie exclamation: Outta sight, man.

Sticking with The Death of Stalin (which I highly recommend watching on Netflix for those who've not yet seen it). It's incredibly well done, and surprisingly authentic in its satirical account of what actually occurred.

That's disappointing. I thought (no offense Issy) that "Story" was hitched onto a historical event, but the story itself was just Hollywood make believe, entirely. /shrug

Hudson Hawk

"Hudson Hawk," a $51 million action comedy starring Bruce Willis, produced by Joel Silver and filmed on locations ranging from the Brooklyn Bridge to Budapest, is either an example of free-spending folly or the kind of grand entertainment that will always be a part of Hollywood.

Take into consideration that I won the previous round with The Exorcist as based on a true story. Compared to that, I'm pretty sure a real ship hitting an iceberg also counts.

The ‘story of’ the exorcist was what was real.

I mean you understand what the story is.
They would never put “based on a true story” in the beginning of Titanic.
You were the judge though. That gave you the power to make the choice, it’s entirely the judges call.

Before the judging, I share the game with my wife who enjoys hearing the categories and people’s answers. When I listed Titanic she popped a gasket and said “lol, ok that was totally not a true story, unless your talking about just the ship sinking ? “.

(She thought Cleopatra should win)

No worries.
