Where Knowledge Junkies Get Their Fix
You’ve probably seen some “Me” movies. If you’re lucky, All of Me was among them. If you’re unlucky, Mac and Me was. Either way, the word “Me” appears in the titles of dozens of Hollywood feature films. In today’s lunchtime quiz, you’ll try to match 12 film titles with the 12 actors who portrayed the “Me” in each one. Some are easy; a couple of them may be difficult, however.
Take the quiz, and good luck!
I know “me” well…100%

FAIL. I need to watch more movies.

83%, I had a 50/50 shot on the two women on the list since I hadn’t seen either of the movies and of course I got it wrong. Oh well.

100% - because it’s all about ME

How about a follow up quiz: Listen to Me? Lots of good “Me” songs out there.

Way ahead of you, Beth! You’ll definitely see further editions of the “Look at” quiz.

Anyone else notice how they got the me backwards on “The Spy Who Loved Me”. The Spy is james bond and the me is the bond gal. I believe they are both spies in the movie so I guess it doesn’t matter but the book was written from her perspective.

@ asa I noticed that too.
Also, “They call me Mr. Tibbs” is a quote from the movie “In the Heat of the Night” not the title.

Nerak, there most certainly was a film titled “They Call Me Mister Tibbs” — it was a sequel of sorts to “In the Heat of the Night.”
See www.imdb.com/title/tt0066450/
