Wow that was a tough one. I got the older one (hint from 1970) but the newer one I didn’t have a clue. Tough one for a Monday Sandy.

Darn I only got one.

Holy moly I got them both somehow!? Shakespeare was easy, and then Love Story just popped into my head.

I got the older movie and took a stab with “The Spy Who Loved Me,” figuring that a James Bond blockbuster had a good chance to be on the list. Turns out I was wrong.

I went old school twice. Got Love Story, missed with To Sir With Love.

Got “Shakespeare in Love”, but my other guess was “Love Actually” which actually grossed only $60M.
“The Spy Who Loved Me” got $47M
“To Sir, With Love” got $42M
