Infinitely Polar Bear (Maya Forbes, 2014)

on
We can see a lot of games and puzzles early in the movie, when Cam (Mark Ruffalo) is visited by his wife and daughters at the institution he is a patient in. Most of the games are out of focus, but we have been able to indetify some of them...
We get to see some more games towards the middle of the film, at the girls' room.
There are several anachronisms in the movie, which is set between 1978-79: Trivial Pursuit wasn't published until 1981. Also the red-boxed Yathzee, the Mr. Mouth and the Topple versions are from the 80s and 90s.

Bottom shelves (near the guy talking on the phone), first pile: ?, Candy Land,
The Game of Life, Spelling Bee, Tripoley; second pile: Twister + unidentified

Upper shelf on the right: Yahtzee (prob. E.S. Lowe 1956 edition), Las Vegas (board game?),
 puzzle. Lower shelf: Winning Moves'  Pente (upside down), something called Castle Rock

Most of the games can be briefly seen during this short travelling (this and next images)

Right of the image, behind Amelia (Imogene Wolodarsky), Simon (almost at the
bottom of the first shelves), and another copy of Twister (middle of the second shelf at
the right of the image).

At the height of Amelia's chin we can distinguish Pass it on and another edition of Yahtzee
(red box, 1991?)






Left of Mark Ruffalo; Trivial Pursuit, Topple, two puzzles

Above Ruffalo's elbow: Twister and Checkers (Pressman)

Left of Ruffalo's knee: Mr. Mouth

There are two entries at BGG for Spelling Bee: this one
and this one, but the version in the movie could be this,
apparently from 1990
