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

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…

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

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

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

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

Woohoo, 12 for 12 and proud of it.
Working midnights with a free blockbuster pass was well worth it.

9 out 12 - pretty good for only seeing one of these movies!
posted by Melodye on 11-16-2007 at 4:12 pm
10 of 12 and I have seen only 5 of them.

100% Umm. Okay, so I love movies too much, and my memory is waaay too long, but I feel good about the lucky guesses.
posted by Angela on 11-28-2007 at 11:58 am
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.
posted by Kate on 12-4-2007 at 11:17 pm
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.

What is a heist film list without Rififi?
posted by Richard on 12-18-2007 at 1:38 pm
10/12
Not bad considering I had only seen one of the movies.
