Here are the answers to the game I posted in conjunction with @classic_film's #ScienceFictionFilms bracket!
Thanks for playing & congratulations if you got them!
As we're in the final day of @classic_film's amazing bracket, #ScienceFictionFilms, I thought I'd add a game!
How many of these phrases can you match to the movies in the bracket? Feel free to say the numbers, but please don't give the titles to avoid spoilers 🙂
Walter Koenig (Star Trek; Babylon 5: The Starlost...) has reportedly died and will be added to my 2026 Geeky Goodbyes later

Congratulations to @classic_film for the "amazing collosal" #ScienceFictionFilms bracket!
There were truly no losers. The comments I saw were overwhelmingly voting for, not against, & people often said they were torn.
That's a well run bracket, & a community of fans!
The Day the Earth Stood Still wins our #ScienceFictionFilms Tournament!
Planet of the Apes kept the race close throughout the day, but could never close the gap.
I feel like the real winner, though. I loved discussing all these classic sci fi movies with those who commented.

The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) won the #ScirnceFictionFilms tournament and what a worthy champion!
Truth be told though…. as always… there are no losers. Each film was given an opportunity to shine and to be introduced to new viewers.
Mostly, we’re all winners because this is such a FUN, wonderful distraction (escape even!) from daily events and news. Movies and TV are always there when we need them the most.
THANK YOU @classic_film for another amazing tournament - a lot of work and time goes into these and you’re more appreciated than you’ll ever know!
