Wow. This show was so great it got me pumped to put my predictions immediately, rather than wait and think it over for a couple of days as I usually do. Having said that, first things first:
BLACK TRON, BLACK NOAH, BLACK GODZILLA, BLACK ROBOCOP, THE LONE BLACK RANGER, GUARDIANS OF THE BLACK GALAXY, BLACK X-MEN ORIGINS: BLACK WOLVERINE!!!!!

Another great show, guys! I hadn't heard of Black Nativity until I read it in the show notes and I totally thought that it was a horror film! Imagine my surprise to learn that it's actually an African-American Christmas movie! I'm not going to join in the fun of predicting this time, maybe next summer. Best of luck to all who do!

Okey dokey folks, they just announced that Jack Ryan IS moving to mid January. I didn't anticipate that Jamie would actually make Paramount change their minds this quickly.
Obviously, there's no point you predicting on that one. But to compensate, everyone who takes part in the game automatically gets one point for that film. You can't say fairer than that.
