If you're stuck, type "Hint" and then the image number to get a clue (eg. "Hint 10"). Except for numbers one and two... type "Hint one" and "Hint two" for those ones. Thanks for playing!

you should list the suggestion for getting hints above, not in the comments section. GREAT game!

Great game! There are two mistypes though: you're missing an l in 'Malcolm X' (movie title) and swapped two letters in "Lawrence of Arabia". Also, if you list Malcolm X as Malcolm Little, Ali should be Cassius Clay. But again, great quiz!

Excellent! Shouldn't be 2 from the same movie, though...

Great quiz, definitely a tough one. Couldn't even tell who some of the original people were.

Ali played himself in a made for TV movie once. I agree some of them were too hard to get from just the picture. Schindler, Barie and Wallace aren't people whose pictures you are likely to have seen. Clyde was pretty obvious but had no idea that was Bonnie.

If you want to do a sequal, Gary Cooper needs to be in it. He was in two very famous biopics.

Ed Wood would probably be a better one if you're including Johnny Depp, albeit a less challenging one. Fantastic quiz, very difficult!
