Sorry if I'm doing this wrong. I'll admit I have not read through all this thread. I'd like to add a new puzzle and hope it was never discussed before.

Puzzle: Dumplings play a big and important role. They are a key to solve a mystery for a man's incarceration.

Hope this is all you need.

The mid-week evening recap:

Please don't assign numbers to your new movie foods...if a movie is solved before it gets put into a recap, it's not given a number since it's out of play.

Also, we're getting some repeat movies. Try not to use "Pretty Woman", "The Godfather", "Cool Hand Luke", "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom", "Fargo", "Moonstruck", "Repo Man", "Fried Green Tomatoes" and "Dirty Dancing" as they've all been used twice.

**New clues have been added to existing films...and some new movies have been added, as well**
