Everyone in blue is eligible to play Final Jeopardy...Sorry Karsten  
Those with their point total in orange have submitted their wager.
Those with their point total in green have submitted their answer.

The Final Jeopardy category is The Films of John Hughes

Here's how this is going to work...

Everyone must PM me their point wager on the Final question. You can wager any amount, up to your total. After everyone has sent me their wager, I will post the final question.
Once the question has been posted, you will have 48 hours to PM me the answer.
After the 48 hours is up, I will reveal the answer.
Then, one by one, starting with the person with the lowest point total at the moment (Critter), I'll reveal whether each successive person was right or wrong and what their final point total is. I figure it will add a little suspense.

Remember, you must PM your final answer. Please don't post the answer in the thread!

GOOD LUCK!!!

[Antares]

OK, everyone's wager is in, here we go with Final Jeopardy...


The category is The Films of John Hughes...


In Home Alone, Kevin (Macauley Culkin) uses a VHS tape of a fictional gangster film to scare a pizza delivery boy. What is the name of the fictional gangster film? Your answer must be get the title completely correct.


Remember, you must PM the answer to me. DO NOT POST IT IN THIS THREAD.

GOOD LUCK! You have until 12:00 noon EST on Monday 3/29 to send me your final answer.

[Antares]

You have just a little over 24 hours to send me your answers. I've only received 1 response so far.

[Kathy]

I've seen this movie more than once but I can't remember the answer. I could watch the movie again but that would me cheating. So, you won't be getting a responce from me.

[Dragonfire]

I don't even have the movie to watch..unless I go to Walmart and buy it today - they have for like $7 now.
So.  Just suck away my points.  I have no idea.

[Antares]

At first, when I hadn't received any answers, I thought that maybe this was too hard a question. But I have since received a correct answer on it.

[Najemikon]

I finally Googled it just now. No chance would have I got that! It certainly wasn't the sort of question I was expecting; is the title actually given in the film? I can't remember now...

[snowcat]

Darn it!

I know this XD

This is like when you watch a quiz show on TV and you shout the answer angrily at the tv hoping someone will hear you!!

[Antares]

The answer was Angels with Filthy Souls. They show the title screen when he sits down on his parents bed, when Kevin is eating junk food and calling out that he's watching inappropriate stuff and eating badly.

Only 1 person got it right, and that was Halo2.

Here's the final scoreboard...
