So 1970's movie nominated for best picture, doesn't have actors like Newman, Redford, Nicolson, Hoffman, Drefuss, DeNiro, Voight, Hackman. That just about eliminated every nominated movie in the 70's. And they didn't win best acting award for this movie. Maybe it was the way I worded the previous question.
Does it have any of the previously mentioned actors?

Is it present day or a period piece?

Is the genre noir mystery?

Yes, it has one of those actors listed

I said I would choose the movie for the first few rounds as I want to make sure this game gets off to a good start, as it's not an easy format for a game.

So I have a movie in mind, and just everybody has seen this one. Ask your questions, narrow down the parameters just like in the old 20 question game. Ask yes or no questions and I might throw in a tid bit here or there
