A list of movies

Meta Prompt
The answer to the meta are the type of people who are most likely to solve this meta
This may be a hard grid and the meta may be hard to piece together but I think if you can get through the grid, the metanism should jump at you. (It's a bit of work piecing it together-- not hard; just long)
I guess I should point out, not all references to movies and television are meta clues. Sometimes you just can't avoid movie and TV clues.

    Wowza!!! You were absolutely right. I had to do lots of googling to get it - but it was all google-able. Very cool metanism and that you found so many ordinal movies. Thanks!

      Quite an accomplishment, woozy! (On both our ends, since I'm distinctly not one :) Had fun learning and confirming -- Thanks for the entertainment!

        Well, I found the list of movies and arranged them in order but never thought to just take the first letter of the relevant clues. I did look at the 1st letter of the first clue, and the 2nd letter of the second clue, etc... So close!
        • woozy costruttore · 2023-03-31T17:09:22.248Z
          Wow! I never thought to do that! That would have been cleaner and neater. And harder.
