Biggest Movies of Michael Caine AFI (Complete)
Posted: Sat Jun 10, 2017 7:17 am
The Adjusted for Inflation Bureau is stolen from poorpete (who first had the idea to make this a game here), who stole it from Doug Benson at Doug Loves Movies (which everyone should be listening to). Here's the rules:
1- Post up with a movie of Michael Caine that you think has the highest domestic box office gross adjusted for inflation. Thus, even though the new Star Wars movie is the highest grossing domestic earner, if we adjust for inflation, the title actually goes to Gone With the Wind. This includes cameos, if they are listed for the actor on boxofficemojo.com.
2- After you make a post- you can only guess again AFTER I HAVE TOLD YOU IF YOU ARE RIGHT AND HAVE AWARDED POINTS. Thus, if you make a guess- please don't guess again until I've acknowledged your guess.
3- Your guess must be done off the top of your head. No research. No googling. No referring to Imdb. Obviously, no referring to Box Office Mojo. Just use your brain.
4- This game is on the honor's system. But if you cheat, please understand that you're just ruining the game for everyone. There's nothing at stake. We're just all trying to have fun.
5- Points are awarded for the top 20 movies of the actor, in reverse order of their place on the list. Thus, 1 point for the 20th movie. 20 points for the top movie. If you guess the movie at the bottom of the list, you get 5 points.
I will try to periodically update this first post with all the guesses, points awarded and standings.
