I love the fact that a file download message appears when I clicked on this link and stated 'Some files can harm your computer' - hmm me thinks not.

Some are incorrect, though!

I typed in "Unforgiven" for one, and it told me I was wrong! Apparantly it wants you to type "The Unforgiven" which ISN'T the name of the movie!

Want to get a perfect score?

Read here:
Spoiler:
For each question, add 3 to that specific number, and use that number to reference the answer cells, which are in column S. Example: For question 3, type =s06 and hit enter. Voila, automatically you get the answer.

Exactly as they are on the "answer sheet." Originally I got 58 of 72 on it, then extracted the data to get their answers, some of which are "incorrect" due to poor spelling, punctuation, or articles not in the actual film title:

10 Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back
11 Lawrence of Arabia
12 Gremlins
13 Waiting for Guffman
14 Do the right thing
15 Saturday Night Fever
16 Field of Dreams
17 Insomnia
18 Pulp Fiction
19 Buffalo '66
20 I am Sam
21 Ransom
22 Bowfinger
23 Lost in America
24 The Fugitive

27 A Knights Tale

Man, this is fun! i'm not looking at any of the answers yet... but so far i Have 40 right.

but the person that made this needed to do a little more research on the movie titles. The actual, word for word, and punctuation for punctuation, titles do not work for some of them

Mr. Deeds and The Fast and the Furious
