We’re getting colder in the Northern Hemisphere, so it’s time to name some films with weather words. Name one film commercially released in the U.S. that includes the word Snow, Ice, or Rain in its title or subtitle. TV movies are not eligible. I’ll accept plurals, compound words, or adjective variations, but not word fragments. For example, The Falcon and the Snowman is ok, but The Girl on the Train is not. Many, many possible answers.

Re: TD 325 - Random Trivia with Q1 and Q2 scores
I second that notion! Haven't attempted too many of these so far, as I'm relatively new to the board, but this is the first time I've been in the top three at any point I believe! I'm sure this won't last for long.gamawire wrote:Nice! Thanks for the great game, Peachbox. Oh, wait - you mean it's not over?Peachbox wrote:Scores through Q2

Re: TD 325 - Random Trivia standings after Q3 and bonus
3. Picture Round I---Centenarians
This one had the most drops, top-heavy scoring and some singletons. When I put together this montage, only 2 people were still around. Then Kirk Douglas turned 100, and I replaced another picture (sorry, Hal Roach) with his. Many chose him for the bonus, but only one for this question.
Picture link and names in spoiler.
