How to approach it
Build the list from the calendar rather than from memory of headlines. Work month by month through the year and, for each month, sweep across markets: wide studio slates first, then limited openings, then titles that only ever appeared in one country's cinemas. For every candidate, verify that its first public screening was a paid theatrical booking rather than a festival slot, a streaming launch or a reissue. Keep a long shortlist of small, plausible titles and resist the urge to settle on the biggest release you can recall, because the obvious picks are exactly the ones everyone else will also write down. Finally, choose the entry you can defend with an actual release date.
Get a hint
Start with the year's release calendars rather than with awards chatter, and sweep every territory, including small national industries whose films barely travel.
A little more
Then filter by format: independent dramas, genre pieces, sequels, animation and documentaries all count the moment a cinema sold the first ticket for them.
One step further
Finally hunt for the thin end of the list: titles that ran one week in one market or were announced only months before opening, since those rarely get named by anyone else.

Why these answers count
The reveal split almost perfectly along familiarity lines. Only one answer reached 100 points, and it was Chronovisor, a title so obscure that nearly the whole field missed it. The 220 answers sitting at 85 points read like a tour of the international release calendar: 9 Moons, Aadu 3, Aida: The Movie, Bethlehem Kudumba Unit, Bhooth Bangla, Bonolota Express, Cheburashka 2. None of those is a household name in English-language markets, which is precisely why naming one paid so well. The 177 answers at 60 points form the crowded band: titles many players could reach, so the scoring formula divided the credit among more people. The pattern holds throughout: the wider a film opened and the more press it drew, the more people wrote it down, and the less each mention was worth. Rarity, not prestige, set the payout here.
