The Weekly Quiz


With no film under review (trying to find time to watch How to Train Your Dragon) and the work load mounting on me I’ve decided to keep things brief but interesting. This week I have strived to invent a challenging and creative quiz as I am aware quotes can only hold your attention for so long and everyone loves a quiz. So as you can see (Or not, as is the case) there are ten pictures laid out before you. Each picture is taken from a famous film and I want you to guess the film and of course for bonus points, the actor(s) who featured in the particular picture. I know, it seems a little too easy for a film buff like you, huh? Well lets kick it up a notch then, each picture will have the actors removed from the scene via Photoshop. All you will see is the scene, clothes of the actor(s) and extra(s) in each photo. As always they’ll be easy enough for the first five but to score a perfect ten, well, we’ll see…

Rules
1.      Correct answers; the film is worth one point; Actor(s) are worth two points each.
2.      No googling, help or aids of any kind. All answers must come from your own knowledge
3.      Character names are also accepted but are worth only one point instead of two.
4.      There is a total of 38 points on offer, 14 actors and 10 films. Can you name them all?.
 


  








 Hope you enjoy. And of course comments are welcome.

  2. That's 27/38 points you could of got. That's 71% which is a B3. There's room for improvement I must say. I'm sure you'll do much better next time. It's tough isn't it.
