Common Factor
Now, what do all these titles share as a common factor?

Ghostbusters
Field of Dreams
The Princess Bride
The Big Chill
All of Me
Dead Again
Fright Night
Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid
The Andersonville Trial
Brewster's Millions
Cocoon
Creator
Fahrenheit 9/11


They're all mixed up right now because I have to re-do them alphabetically because I've got so many. But the shelves they're currently on seems to have grouped a strange collection.

So I'm seeing who has seen enough of these to consider their placement and what binds them together.

1. The Dick?
Playing Evil versus Good?

(I haven't seen some on the list ... "Fix bowl!" or "Back in bowl!" Oh, that's a funny one!)

2. Dead people
Even when they come back to life.

Even in their absence.

3. Excellent and correct answer!
I found it rather curious that death was there even among the comedies. I've looked over some more of my titles, and the motif continues.

I don't see that so much in my TV show titles, because while there are more dead people, TV series as a whole work on death or dying as a weekly component of their shows. I'm a big fan of procedural dramas, so the dead people is even higher.
