I was trapped in a car with three very pleasant chaps when we went to Morcambe
after last weekend's wedding. Lovely chaps, but chaps who were really into 'film' - nay, 'cinema'. They discussed the Empire magazine 'app' at length - and then played a game where you had to name films starring certain people in turn. Incredibly, despite my encylopedic knowledge of 'film', I did not win.

I would really enjoy that game
for about five minutes. I think this is an acceptable level of being "into film"

You are wrong. It was rather bent.
I subtly pointed out the unfairness of the game by suggesting a round of 'garage punk bands 1964-6 from the Forth Worth, Texas area'. The point was made.

A fairer analogy would be if they'd been playing a game based on the films of Terrence Malick, as opposed to the whole of cinema ever
but I do see your point

Just always pick "the magnificent seven"
and if they quibble say, "no, not that version, the 1989 indie version set in Compton directed by Hadley Brisket".
