I thought it was “Part” or “Number”.

I figured it had to be “of the” “in the” or “and the”.

Then I read the clues to come to the right answer.

Aw geez. I misread. I thought it said, “what two word SENTENCE appears”. All I could think was, “I am”, “It is”, etc., but saw that wasn’t in the question being asked.

before i read the hints, my guess was “and the” while not the correct answer, a quick search on imdb revealed a whole load of movies with “and the” in the title.

It is actually also in the explanatory paragraph, not just the question being asked:

“examining both the best and the worst OF THE world of cinema”

Yay! I was finally correct on one of these Brain Game posts. Fun trivia.

Well done. Didn’t get it but enjoyed the few minutes I considered it.

No problem, Kami. The first clue just said to re-read the title, which just makes it clear that the answer is not “Part II.”

The second clue said that the answer appeared somewhere “in the question being asked.” And it does — it’s in there twice, in fact.

The question was: “What two-word sequence appears an amazing 15 times in the titles *OF THE* 30 biggest U.S. box-office hits *OF THE* past 30 years?”

Sorry to look dumb or anything, but there’s no “of the” in the title of this brain game, nor is there one in the paragraph.
So this was a little tough for me, considering your first hint is off.
