Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category The Movies) for Thursday, January 5, 2023 (Season 39, Game 84):

Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
In last night’s game, Lloyd Sy proved that his victory over Ray Lalonde was no fluke, picking up a second victory! Tonight, he faces off against Patrick Curran and Lois Casaleggi!
A reminder that 8:00 PM Eastern/Pacific (7:00 PM Central/Mountain) sees the return of Celebrity Jeopardy—a post for information about that game will be going up in time for that game’s airing.

More information about Final Jeopardy:
(The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2023 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)
Imagine the alternate universe where Sergio Leone directed Laurence Olivier in The Godfather. It was Leone who turned down the directorial role that eventually went to Francis Ford Coppola, Leone preferring to direct what eventually became Once Upon A Time in America, which was released over a decade later. Meanwhile, the studio pretty much wanted “anyone but [Marlon] Brando” to portray Don Corleone, but they eventually relented. The Godfather became one of the most iconic films of all time.

Patrick had a rap dedicated to him—by Debbie Reynolds.
Lloyd covers his apartment walls with photos.
Andy’s Thoughts:
- This is the first regular-play game since July 13 where a player has failed to reach Final Jeopardy!, ending a streak of 69 straight regular-play games of 3-player Finals. This is not the longest streak of the post-Trebek era; the post-Trebek era began with 72 consecutive regular-play 3-player Finals, and the longest streak since 2004 was 88 consecutive regular-play games, between October 3, 2017, and February 19, 2018.
- Kudos to all three players for the Daily Double hunting today.
Today’s box score: January 5, 2023 Box Score.
