WHile I think of it:

MNEMONIC: I tried for ages to do: Cinema played "Finding Nemo" inside.

But I then need to clue removing A and E. I couldnt find an elegant way of doing so. I also thought about "cinema reruns the Omen" as well. Same issue. Can anyone think of a way that clue could have worked?

Perhaps you don't get the A&E channel where you are, but when you said A and E it practically jumped out at me.

I'm considering 'finding' here to be the insertion indicator; no need for 'inside.'

Cinema plays "Finding Nemo," eliminates Arts & Entertainment's "First Memory Aid."

edit: If you want to keep 'finding ... inside' as the insertion indicator, how about this:

Cinema played Finding Nemo & Inside Edition, and premiered Lost Memory.

Cinemas play "Finding Nemo - leaving the sea" for all the "Total Recall" fans.

No, the letter A&E only mean Accident and Emergency to me. It would seem I should have kept working on it. Elethiomel's version is fantastic!

Another idea for the rerun:

Ask each of the previous contestants to submit a word each.

That would eliminate the "Times" idea, but would also allow for some possible great variations.

Haha! I had scrolled back in the little review box in the editing window. I saw this one.

Emphasis mine. Looks like a virtual tie to me. But I should have said Suspence twice, for his double gold.
