Some of these are really hard and I pride myself on knowing a bit about movies. What was the average score of the people taking part? Did you think up all the questions or are some from a book. Are you going to publish the answers too? Please?

I only know these answers because they're all films I know and love. And Wikipedia gave me a big hand too.

The winning team won with 62% and the other teams scored between 46-54%, so it was pretty hard. However, they all thought it was the right level of difficulty. I might do another sometime before I leave.

Movies:
1. Hitchcock 2. American Psycho (Patrick Bateman) 3. Val Kilmer 4. Tobey Maguire, Reece Witherspoon, Joan Allen, William H. Macy 5. Rydell High

6. Casablanca 7. The Game 8. Cruel Intentions 9. Jaws 10. The Truman Show

11. Home Alone 12. Breakfast At Tiffanys 13. The Shining 14. Psycho 15. Dirty Dancing
