Fun little quiz, but the time limit is waaay too much. You could probably cut it down to 4 or 5 minutes.

fun quiz. it's like it shows the downfall of cinema. starts with good movies like empire and raiders, ends tragically on paul blart.

That was awesome! MIB is a bit of a gimme though -- don't people abbreviate it to that as a matter of course? You could also include a LCTR film, although I suppose those were abbreviated to initials too. Great job. 5 star rating.

flame away, sporclers, but with the actors' names included, this really isn't that fun/challenging. just my humble opinion.

If it didn't have the actors then it could only really contain the long titles

There's another 'n' in Thornton. Missed three, two I should have got but never heard of the Billy-Bob one.

Did nobody else think this was
incredibly
easy? I didn't know "The Right Stuff" (never seen it or heard of the actor), but I got the other 29 in about a minute and a half- and I'm not saying that to brag, just to show that I didn't even have to think about any of them.

It would be a little harder with the full title of Borat, but mainly more entertaining.

Most of these were pretty easy. Maybe more obscure movies or actors could have made it a little more challenging.

I guess I'm just an idiot, because I thought it was a pretty good medium-challenge type quiz. The ones I missed were head slappers, but there were a few that were fairly difficult to tease out of my brain. Maybe if I wasn't taking the quiz on a Friday afternoon it would have been easier.

Maybe its just me, but isn't it just "Silence of the Lambs" and not "The Silence of the Lambs"

That last was the only one I didnt get. Kept typing "Bart", "Barth", etc. I did think having the actors made it pretty easy, but I love any kind of movie quiz anyway.

This was fun. I figured it would be too easy for some, but I'm not a big movie person and it was fun to actually get some (even a few of the lower percentage ones).

It would be nice to see some of these where movies such as...Mr and Mrs. Smith weren't the second to most guessed.
