Sorry, mea culpa: 1970, not 1971.
The point is that a fill-in-the-blank quiz is interesting because the phrases or titles are all familiar, or at least potentially familiar. http://www.sporcle.com/games/MSUkent/60stv2 uses well-known 60s TV shows; http://www.sporcle.com/games/sproutcm/VideoGameFitB uses well-known video games; http://www.sporcle.com/games/Hejman/banana_fana_bo_bana uses famous people... What you have here is a mix of well-known movies and really obscure, completely non-noteworthy movies. "I Know What You Did Last Summer", "What Women Want", "What Lies Beneath"--these are major movies. Even "What Happens in Vegas", though critically panned, is at least a recent major release. But "She Gets What She Wants" and "What Kind of Mother Are You?" and "Guess What We Learned In School Today" are just plain obscure, and therefore not interesting to have on a quiz.
A standard fill-in-the-blank quiz is around 20 items; you've got twelve, which is what suggests that it wasn't a very strong theme to begin with. If you can only come up with twelve things that work, it's not likely to work very well as a quiz. And when half of those twelve aren't even very good entries...
