Conundrum: Venn-Hur
In a Venn Diagram puzzle, there are three overlapping circles, marked A, B, and C. Each circle has a different rule about who or what can go inside. The challenge is to guess the rule for each circle. You can find a more detailed explanation of Venn Diagram puzzles, along with an example, here.
This week, in honor of the Oscars, Conundrum goes to the movies! All eight titles below refer to motion pictures.
Have you figured out one of the rules? Two? All three? Feel free to post whatever you’ve got in the comments below. Just tell us which circle you’re solving, and what the rule is.
Enjoy!
UPDATE: Circles A and B solved by Irene. Circle C solved by DeLisa. See comments for answers.

A and B are correct. Way to go, Irene!
I can see where you’re going with C, but there’s something much more specific that those four movies have in common.
Good luck to all!
