  1. 10 out of 12…not bad

  2. I’ve just found out I watch waaaay too many heist movies… 12 out of 12

    Don’t know if that’s a good thing or not :-)

  3. 100% for me too….
    I guess I watch too many of these too, Debbie :)

  4. 100%
    I was so happy to see Feathers McGraw on there!

  5. 12 out of 12 for me, too! Thank you for allowing me to somehow justify all those hours spent watching movies. My life has meaning now…

  6. What’s the Score?
    Score: 83% (10 out of 12)

  7. A miserable 6/12. This just tells me that I need to quit my job so I can watch more movies.

  8. 12 of 12. Things to do tomorrow: 1) Get a life.

  9. 12 of 12. Yippee-ki-yi-yay, Hans!

  10. 8 for 12. but in my defense, feathers mcgraw only stole ONE diamond and borrowed the pants…(to steal the diamond)

  11. 12 for 12 does that mean Danny Ocean (either one) will let me join in on the fun?

  12. 12 for 12…. not sure what that says about me.

  13. 10 for 12 because I mixed up the Ocean’s. For shame!

  14. 7 / 12 so I am alright not great…

  15. Lucky guesses – 12 of 12, and I’ve only seen 7 of them.

  16. 12 of 12. I need to get out more…

  17. 12 out of 12
    A wasted childhood, I think not.

  18. Hmm….1
    Lol need to get more time on my hands, my job takes too much!!

  19. Woohoo, 12 for 12 and proud of it.

    Working midnights with a free blockbuster pass was well worth it.

  20. 9 out 12 – pretty good for only seeing one of these movies!

  21. 10 of 12 and I have seen only 5 of them.

  22. 100% Umm. Okay, so I love movies too much, and my memory is waaay too long, but I feel good about the lucky guesses.

  23. 100% here too.. I’ve actually seen only like half these movies but I had vague ideas and did some sort of process of elimination considering the actors and the heist target.

  24. I got 10 out of 12, too. Not bad since I’ve only seen 4 of these flicks, and I must have seen the last one at least 5 years ago. The other three I haven’t seen in over 10 years.

  25. What is a heist film list without Rififi?

  26. 10/12

    Not bad considering I had only seen one of the movies.

  27. Gah this quiz brought back so many great memories of heist films, Even the new ones like Oceans3… Remember a fish called wanda? By far best diamond heist film yet.

  28. 10 out of 12. I guess I should see Die Hard again.

  29. 7 out of 10.
    what about 3000 miles to graceland? one of my faves.
    the ususal suspects is awesome!!!

  30. 100%, but I have to admit to some very good guessing on a few (who holds up trains but Sundance, and there’s no way DeNiro steals pants).

  31. 9/12, i’m not sure if this is not enoughof a life or too much of a life…but at least i have more to do with my time than watch movies so that i can score 100% on a movie quiz about heists…like reading books about heists. :)

  32. 9 out of 12 – missed on the 3 I never saw . . .

  33. I love heist movies, so I got 12 out of 12.

  34. 100%
