PUZZLE #275: Slide Show: Double Feature

PUZZLE #275
SLIDE SHOW: DOUBLE FEATURE

If you're one of the people that support me through Patreon at a high enough level, this next puzzle might seem familiar, as puzzles of this type have previously appeared as bonuses exclusive to that website. Well, just like "Gryptics" and "Chess Words" before it, I've decided to bring this puzzle type from Patreon to this blog for everyone to see and solve, so read on for directions on how to solve it!

In each of the two puzzles below, slide the 18 letters surrounding each grid into the empty squares so that four words are made reading across and five words are formed reading down. Letters above and below the grids slide vertically to any position without changing columns, and letters to the left and right slide horizontally without changing rows. All of the exterior letters are used only once, and as a help, each grid has two letters already placed inside.

Once both grids have been filled in, pick out one word from each and combine them to get the FINAL ANSWER: the two-word name of an Oscar-winning film from the 2000s


Once you think you know what the FINAL ANSWER is, send it to either redhead64@chartermi.net or itsredhead64@gmail.com (though I'm more likely to check the second one) and I'll put your name on a solvers list once I post the answers in about two weeks. You can also use those email addresses to give me some comments and feedback (or get a hint from me in exchange for a "hint star", more details for that are on the sidebar to the right) or send me the answer to last week's puzzle, if you haven't already figured it out. If you have a printer and want to solve this puzzle on paper, just head below the break for two versions you can print out: a .PNG and a link to a .PDF!
