Pool of 42: 30th Anniversary Edition​

[Details of the $100 mystery prize are in this email - and everyone is in contention. Read through to find out how you can win]
All,
The 2025 NCAA Tournament has come down to the final night. With all #1 seeds in the Final Four, we were treated to a couple of semi-final heavyweight battles. In the first ever semi-final matchup featuring two SEC teams, Florida held a narrow 3 point lead with 1 min 34 seconds left. Walter Clayton kept the Gators on top down the stretch with his 30 point performance. With 37 seconds left, a Gator free throw miss led to an Auburn 3 pointer, cutting the deficit to 5. The Tigers came up with a steal on the ensuing possession but a Miles Kelly 3 pointer missed the mark and the Gators got the rebound which proved that 37 seconds just isn't enough time to overcome a 5 point deficit in a national semi-final game.* Florida turned the overall #1 seed Auburn into spectators for tonight's final. Joining them would be the winner of the Houston-Duke matchup. It seemed like a foregone conclusion that the Blue Devils would be returning to the championship, as they held a 14 point lead with just over 8 minutes to go in the game. LJ Cryer did his best to keep things close down the stretch - hitting a 3 pointer and then 1 of 2 technical foul shots followed by another jumper, shaving 6 points off the lead in just 17 game seconds. A three pointer by freshman phenom Cooper Flagg with 3 minutes remaining cooled the comeback and kept the margin at 9 points. After a Cougar layup and then an exchange of several foul shots, the Blue Devil lead sat at 6 with just 34 ticks left on the clock. Emanuel Sharp knocked down a 3 off a kick out from Milos Uzan. Mylik Wilson came up with the steal on the ensuing inbounds - then rushed back out to try a triple of his own. In a shot reminiscent of the famous airball - dunk that the Cougars famously lost to Jim Valvano's underdog NC State - Wilson's 3 clanged off the rim only to be slammed home by Joseph Tugler. Down by 1, Houston was forced to foul, putting Tyrese Proctor on the line for a 1-1 with a 1 point lead. Proctor missed the front end with Houston coming up with the rebound - but more importantly, Cooper Flagg got called for an over the back foul fighting for the ball. That sent J'Wan Roberts to the line for two free throws with just 19 seconds left. He rattled both home, giving the Cougars their first lead since it was 6-5. Duke put the ball in the hands of their star, but Flagg came up short. They had one last chance, down 3 - but needing a Hill to Laetner miracle to force OT. The home run pass was a ground rule double at best as the Cougars completed their incredible comeback, proving that 35 seconds is plenty of time to overcome a 6 point deficit in a national semi-final game.**
In the Pool of 42, the 70 points scored by Houston was not quite enough to trigger negative points for overall leader Charles Santanna, dashing the hopes of Joan Ganton and Catherine Bopp. Streaking up the ranks was Michael Boyton who also used Houston's win to gain some much needed positive points. Charles still holds a formidable 175 point lead - but this is the Pool of 42 and rarely is a win guaranteed before the final game.* Charles' threshold is 76, while Michael's is 77 - which means if Houston scores exactly 76, we will get a 152 point swing. If we can combine that with 67 points for Florida, Boyan will grab an extra 10 bonus points - then just needs 3 pointers to earn more bonus than defensive rebounds+bench points. So there's not enough Daylight there for a guaranteed Santanna victory.
At the bottom of the pool, thrilling semi-final games became even more thrilling with a Pool of 42 lens. Dave Pettit needed both Florida and Duke to stay below 75 points. Florida looked like they would fly past that mark with 6.5 mins left and already with 64 points in a close game that was sure to have late game foul shots. But with 38 seconds remaining, the dream was still alive. But it was not to be and the Gators crossed the magic line and has given Adam what seems to be a guaranteed win.**
For our 3rd place prizes, Catherine Bopp may have lost her chance at the top prize, but she is still the leader for most regular points. Will Sargisson is the leader for 1996 points, while Bill Lynch's teams have still scored the most actual game points. In our more contentious prizes - Ben Tobin is currently closest to 0 with 21.1 points. But he still has Florida remaining so it may be tough to hold that spot. Now directly in the middle is Meri Schreiber. While she has no ability to score more points, those around her still do - so it is still a long road to victory there. We will find out who wins tonight, tonight!
That brings us to the mystery prize for which you are all still eligible.
In each of the pool updates (including this one), there is a mention of the title of a song released in 1996 and the title of one of the top 200 grossing movies of 1996. Now I recognize that not everyone saves every one of my emails for posterity. So to level the playing field, I have posted all of the previous updates at PoolOf42.com. Now a few notes before the haters come calling: 

A few of our bonus categories are based on movies from 1996. So I will tell you Twister, Independence Day, Mission: Impossible, and Crash/Dave Matthews are not the answers
The movies are based on highest grossing in 1996 - some of them might have been released in 1995
There can be a discrepancy between when a single is released and when the album it is on was released. Consider it eligible if either the single or the album it was on was released in 1996
There were a number of top grossing movies  in 1996 that are one word names (e.g. Jack, Michael, Eddie, Emma, Ed, Sabrina). These are not the answer even though I might have mentioned those names in an email. The answer CAN be a one word title that is not a person's nameWhoever sends me back the 22 answers first (9 main emails plus 2 "supplemental" ones) will be the winner. If no one gets all the answers, whoever sends me the most by NOON eastern tomorrow will be the winner.
Enjoy the final tonight! Current scores are below with complete standings attached.
