A MOVIE QUIZ FOR MOVIE MAVENS
A MOVIE QUIZ FOR MOVIE MAVENS
PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWERS IN A COMMENT, OR YOU WILL RUIN THE QUIZ FOR EVERYONE ELSE. POST THEM IN A PRIVATE NOTE TO ME, BUZZ OF THE ORIENT, AND I WILL REPLY WITH YOUR SCORE AND THE CORRECT ANSWERS.
Don't forget that I am on the other side of the world (of most of you) and I could be asleep when you send your answers, so be patient - I will get to your PN as soon as I can.
The last quiz wasn't as hard as I thought it would be, so this one is going to be a little harder - many are lesser known films, some older ones. Most of the symbols or pictures represent the title of the movie and only sometimes an important item or aspect of it or something that is in some way representative of it, because although I've seen most of them it was long ago and I don't recall a lot of things that would make a good clue. None of the image clues are actual screen shots from the movie films and I try to use clues that do not make it easy to do a web search, and since this is a test of your movie memory, web searching is cheating anyway. So with many of these if you just say what the pictures are out loud you've named the movie. Give it a try and NAME THESE MOVIES.
Please number your answers the same as the images.

I couldn't resist. I enjoy creating these quizzes, and it seems to me there are enough members who are not drowning in politics that enjoy participating, so here we go again, but remember....

I have to think about this one. I got a couple right away, but certainly nothing like the last quiz!
Lots of time. I'm not closing it for about 5 more days.
I have figured a few out, still thinking
It's scary, I'm starting to think like Buzz... oy...
God forbid....
Ten members have participated so far and I will be closing this and announcing winners soon, so if anyone has not yet sent me a PN with their answers, do it soon as there's not much time left. Everryone has done better on this quiz than I had expected, with everyone getting BETTER than a mere 50% pass grade.
Sent my answers and guesses
Okay, this quiz has been up for a week, 11 members have participated, and here are the winners: Snuffy leads with 19 out of 20, Perrie and Kathleen are tied for second place with 18 each, Sandy and Veronica are tied for third place with 16 each and Honourable Mention goes to Vic Eldred with 15. However EVERYONE got BETTER than a mere 50% pass grade, so perhaps this quiz wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. Here are the answers:
1. Band of Angels - music band and angels

4. Cape Fear - a cape and scared person

18. The Iron Lady - an iron and a lady (I'll also accept Iron Maiden and the Iron Mistress as I was unaware of them)
