Okay, this isn't a meta but it should be fun. And there is a challenge to figure out. It's just not a cypher.

    Quite interesting and cute! Managed to get it all with no google but then did go back to check some I didn't know the actual titles of -- Monsoon, which ended up being one of my favorites (along with those parakeets on the Orient Express! :))

      This was as fun as a meta once I figured out what to do. Thanks!
      And I win the 14A contest. I gave up and revealed the grid because I looked it over several times and couldn't find anything "wrong". I had OUTCLOD instead of OUTPLOD LOL.

        I really liked RAINDROP WEDDING, BUILDING, and TREE GUMP. Very clever de-pluralizations! (Metropolis- the 80s Moroder version- was a favorite of mine too. I might rewatch tonight if I can stay awake)
        • KayW 16:24 · 2023-04-06T03:51:25.987Z
          and of course A CROW ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS- brilliant!

            I can't take credit for either the idea of depluralizing movies or A CROW ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS, or TREE GUMP or LION AND PREJUDICE. But I can and do take credit for thinking to make a crossword out of this, and BUILDING, and RAINDROP WEDDING (and all the ONES and PERSONS).
            If we can to TV shows I'd have liked to have done "One creature of an indeterminate size" but... well, there are limits.
