Just woke up. Dreamed i played this competitive.
My victory speech was a thank-you to those that helped me practice on this board.
But the game was, i got one movie title, and made all i could from it, adding one letter. I got The Sons Of Katie Elder.
I remember
The Songs of Katie Elder - John Wayne musical.
The Soons of Katie Elder - perpetually tardy Katie. "Are you ready? "Soon, soon."
The Sons of Katie's Elder - the only sister of seven brothers fights for daddy's attention
The Suns of Katie Elder - John Wayne's space opera, an explorer dedicating discoveries to his mom's meatloaf (not sure where that part of the dream came from....)(not IAW the stated rules, but dream-logic accepted it)
And finally, The Scorn of Katie Elder, which doesn't really fit the rules, either, but dream judge enjoyed this heartwarming tale of an old, independent woman beating anti-vaxx protesters with her broom.
