I only remembered what 'James and the Giant Peach' was called in my native language so I guessed a bunch of different names, 'Joe and the Giant Peach', Jimmy John, Johnny, Jim, but never James 😑

I got three, and didn't even recognize any of the others when the answers showed up. Bet I'd better go back to the countries category. Well, "Jack to the Future" and "Jar Wars" aren't even on here :)

Great, I read "gigantic penis" instead of gyrating pelvis. Couldn't think of anything other than Boogie Nights, but of course that doesn't start with J, and gave up on it.

Given that in this case it's an adjective referring to the dance moves, and not describing the person in a pejorative way, it's totally acceptable.

Spastic [adjective]

1.a: of, relating to, characterized by, or affected with or as if with spasm.

Had the clue said "White spastic man..." you would have been correct.
