	Good quiz. Just pointing out that the date for Casablanca is wrong though; 1943 (or 1942) would work.

	Good look. I always get it confused with Gone with the Wind for some reason, date-wise (the difference being that Casablanca is actually a good movie.)

	Great quiz. I also agree with the above post.

	I like the quiz, but how about replacing Transformers and The Italian Job with two more Hitchcock movies? Also I love the bonus. :)

	"Government secrets" seems vague to me, though I admit I haven't seen the movie. I'm sorry, though, not to see "a black box that can decrypt anything" on there; I love that movie.

	JayHankEdLyon:	Dec 11th, 2009 at 01:25 GMT	1 point
	North by Northwest's hint should be incredibly obvious for people who've seen it, as Hitchcock loved MacGuffins, pioneered them in fact. What movie are you talking about with the black box? Doesn't ring a bell, so I hope it's not something obvious. Anyway, Junkie, if you can think of two more Hitchcock clues that are specific to certain Hitchcock movies I'll gladly add them, although I don't know why I'd have to take out two answers to do so.

	Well the stolen money in Psycho, the uranium in Notorious, and I'd even say the body in The Trouble with Harry.

	JayHankEdLyon:	Dec 11th, 2009 at 07:12 GMT	2 points
	The question is whether good hints can be made and whether the movies are famous enough, though. I doubt many non-Hitchcock buffs have heard of Notorious, and Psycho's MacGuffin is not only more of a red herring than a MacGuffin, but its generic nature is already fulfilled by other hints.
