Good morning Muggles. At the end of this week, we turn the clocks ahead, and the morning will again seem like the night. So this is the last Monday for a while when you will wake up bright and early to sunlight.
This last MMM before Daylight Savings kicks in falls towards the light side. It may take you a moment to see the light, but after that, it’s a clear path to the end.
The answer is a nine-letter film title that would complete the sequence.
You may need Google to confirm or even possibly to find the answer, depending on the type of movies you tend to be familiar with.
Some people around here have noted my tendency in these forums to slip in the occasional (or not so occasional) spoiler, prompting alert moderators to put the kibosh on my comments. But as we say these days, my meta, my spoiler.
Deadline, Saturday 10 pm, though surely it won’t take you that long.
Nudges Wednesday.
Thanks to @Al Sisti and to @Abide, whose suggested answer and prompt were a substantial improvement over my own.

OTC. I could have gotten there a lot sooner had I remembered the entire prompt and not just the length of the answer.

Off the couch, with help from my husband, who usually has no interest in metas but saw what was going on here when I wrote the relevant info on a napkin as we’re waiting for our food at a restaurant.
Good one!
Good one!
If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.
(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

Off the couch… nice one, Jay!
Can now switch my brain over to continue noodling MGWCC. Sticking with downs-only, no-instructions……….for now anyway

Off the couch, had a bit of a rabbit hole that I stumbled through, but then I looked at things and it poppped into place.
Also,, @BarbaraK restaurant at 10:30 on a Monday.....must be nice, as opposed to us poor schmoe's that have to work and try and sneak in the crosswords/metas.

Off the Couch! A nice Monday morning diversion with just enough distraction to keep it interesting.
My avatar proves that it is sometimes better to be lucky than good!

I think this one might be difficult without instructions, and not in any rewarding way.

Off the couch and reminding myself not to go to the movies with Bird Lives....fun puzzle though!
The combination of this one and the WSJ is making me reel tired.
Thanks Jay

NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!

OTC. Thanks Jay!
Like last week's WSJCC, it's another movie I didn't know. That's what search engines are for I suppose.
