Clockbusters: A game for guessing movies...
Sorry if this is a repost. I had a lot of fun with this this afternoon.

I got 47/50 without any help. 2 of the remaining 3 were obvious once someone gave me a clue.

scott, you can go back and keep trying the ones you've missed without having to re-do the others.

Wasn't that neighborhood very colorful? I vaguely remember that movie, so I could be wrong.
