You guys liked last week’s soundbite quiz so much, we decided to do another with a different approach.
CALLING ALL MOVIE BUFFS: turn your speakers up and have fun! And when you’re done, come on back and let us know in the comments how well you did or which clip was your favorite blast from the past.
60%. I’m surprised I did that well, considering I don’t remember these movies. I have seen most of them, but it was a long time ago. I don’t think I’ve seen any of them more than once, except the Princess Bride.

80%.
But much better quiz than last time, since answers weren’t embedded in the MP3 files this time (and therefore displayed on my player).

Not as easy as the music one for me… I got 80%. The ones that I’ve seen, I’ve seen a lot (Princess Bride, Sixteen Candles, Breakfast Club), but there were quite I’ve never seen.

I’m not nealry as good at movies as I am at music. Some great classic films in there, though. I loved Better off Dead.

70%…I mixed up Sixteen Candles and the Breakfast Club. But I had the right Woody Allen movie, and that’s more important to me!

I got 80% and actually guessed on the two i missed. However I got a Woody Allen movie right and I have seen only one all the way through. Yay for me….I think

50% :(
I say you go back to quizzing us on songs. I got a 100% on that one!
What would you do if your DOPE were on fire?
Impossible sir, it’s in Johnson’s underpants.
Classic!

50% - Crushed. I consider myself a movie buff with great recall for quoting movies. Tough Quiz, keep ‘em coming. RB
