As the unofficial launch of the fall movie season, and all the Oscar-bait that comes with it, the Toronto International Film Festival's maintained a rep for building awards-season buzz, and TIFF's People's Choice Award might as well be a fast-pass to the Oscars.

Consider this track record: winners including Slumdog Millionaire, The King's Speech and 12 Years a Slave were all named best picture. And even if a People's Choice winner doesn't snag an Oscar, they're all-but guaranteed some major nominations. (Please see La La Land, Room, Silver Linings Playbook, etc.)

Inspired by that old meme of movies with clickbait titles, every answer to this quiz is a past winner of TIFF's People's Choice Award. Can you guess the film title from just a headline?
