	...dwarfs, not drawfs.

	This quiz is okay, but if you know the answer to one part of a clue, and its a two or three word movie (eg. Space Jam), you don't need to think of the other clues to get the answer.

	@H3rshel - that is what is supposed to make it interesting, because you don't need to know all three movies, and for that reason I made many of the clues pretty cryptic and short.

	It doesn't matter how you think it should be spelled: the name of the movie is 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,' period. No debate.

	I'd correct the spelling but once it gets published I can't edit it anymore.

	Excellent idea! Well done.

	I'm a slow reader. I barely got through the quiz, even with only reading the first and/or second clue for each one.

	Leave it to Spike Lee to come up with a movie about knocking up rich lesbians

	A good quiz. I missed "Love".

	Iscah:	Jan 24th, 2011 at 00:40 GMT		5 points
	I enjoyed this - Fun, and some interesting connections in titles. I have to say, every single one of the descriptions for the 'She' movies looked horrendous. Ugh.

	The timer needs to be longer. I didn't even get to read them all.

	rlnintendo:	Jan 24th, 2011 at 01:08 GMT		4 points
	Only I would type Paul Blart for the "A man robs a bank and it turns into a hostage situation" question. Only me.

	sunny1192:	Jan 24th, 2011 at 05:55 GMT		10 points
	The four least-guessed words are "wife," "girl," "she," and "love." Seems like there should be a connection, but for the life of me I can't quiiiite put my finger on it. ;-)

	I'm not a big fan of the clue for 'Gone'. It was a while ago that I saw the movie, but I don't remember it being slightly 'supernatural'...

	Beanz57:	Jan 24th, 2011 at 21:15 GMT		2 points
	I tried "Night", "Dawn", "Living", "Dead and even "Of". Sigh.

	Yousername:	Jan 24th, 2011 at 22:34 GMT		0 points
	For the "West Side Story" clue my thought process was this: "Oh I know that one, I read it for school! Okay 'Cities', nope 'Tale', no... 'Two', :(, "of", ..... "a"?

	fuzzbotN:	Jun 9th, 2011 at 02:36 GMT		2 points
	Yeah, "Beverly" is a pretty common word. I use it in almost every conversation I have.
