That made me laugh out loud, luckily I'm alone in the meeting room which in 12 mins will be filled with people, some of which are very serious.

Seen 72/75... missing Toy Soldiers, Krull and Elephant Man. Some total belters in that list and i've been introducing my kids to some of them over the past couple of years. The ones that they've absolutely loved are Big, Flight of the Navigator and Bill & Ted. Throughout Big, neither kid moved an inch!

I don't know what a 'belter' is, hopefully that is good if you are showing them to your kids. :lol:

Your kids have some really good taste. Those three (+goonies) were far and away my favorites as a kid, I remember being mesmerized by them.
They really sparked a sense of wonder, awe and adventure in me.

Haha! Yeah, sorry... a belter is definitely something positive! I think i'll remember them watching Big as long as i live. It was near xmas and i was painting the kitchen ceiling whilst the wife was making dinner (not sure how that combination never ended in disaster) and we plonked them both down in front of the telly to keep them occupied... oh my... they were absolutely rooted to the spot for however long that movie is. I think your word 'awe' sums up what happened to them!

Re: Bill & Ted... my daughter still quotes it endlessly and based a school history project on it! I've always loved The Goonies too... but my wife LOVES it! She's not bad some of the time I guess :lol:

The Elephant Man is an excellent movie. Probably my favorite David Lynch film.

It doesn't seem to be David Lynch's version? I mean, I didn't recognize the cover. David Lynch's Elephant man was in black and white

I scored 52

Yeah, I don't get why they used that particular obscure poster for that image but it's definitely the B/W movie.

I thought it was good until I found out how much of it was fabricated by Oliver Stone...

shit that was hard! :yikes:

The only one I knew I got correct was the missed test in Ferris Buellers. And sort of sure about the Clue, Big and Breakfast Club questions.

I would not have been surprised if I got 1 out of 15.

I didn't like it. I watched it once but I have never watched it again. Just like Schindler's List.
8 out of 15...I guessed most of them. But I'm glad I knew the answer to the Splash question. I must have seen that movie a zillion times as a kid.

I thought Schindler's List was great. Been years since I've seen it.
