Great quiz, Puckett86. I'd actually drop the time down a minute or two because on these, you either know these things or you don't. You might consider, but don't have to, just accepting the character name, as well as the full movie title, since I kept typing in Oskar Schindler and was wondering why it wasn't taking it. :)

Great quiz. You might want to add 'Dances With Wolves', which becomes Lt. Dunbar's Indian name.

I like the idea, but Olivier is a poor inclusion considering he was in Rebecca and Hamlet and you only include the latter

@MrWhiplash It is already a bonus.
@DarkPhalanx Olivier didn't play the title character in Rebecca. Actually, no one did, which is why I left it off completely.

You want to randomize it, order by year makes it easy for some.

You made an error on this quiz. Patton was released in 1970, not 1969.
