Question 1 of 10
1. I had heard of this war movie about criminals going on a suicide mission during World War II so I was thrilled to see it on TV. This wasn't it though. Instead I was misled by the title and I found a 1957 courtroom drama with Henry Fonda in the leading role. What was the movie I was really watching? Hint


Question 2 of 10
2. With all this talk of the world coming to an end, I thought I'd better watch something that might help me prepare for it. So I thought I'd rent a movie about it. Turns out I had a war movie about Vietnam instead. What was the movie I'd rented from 1979, starring Martin Sheen? Hint


Question 3 of 10
3. I'm a baseball fan and I've heard all the nicknames of different players. So I thought I'd found a movie about Roger Clemens or maybe Cy Young. When I began to watch though, I discovered a movie from 1955 about drug abuse and gambling. What is this Otto Preminger directed movie? Hint


Question 4 of 10
4. Historical dramas are always good. So when I saw a movie about the Romans I immediately decided to see it. It wasn't about Rome though, it concerned a petty thief who moves from the country to the city's east end to join a gang. What is the name of this 1931 movie? Hint


Question 5 of 10
5. Zombie movies are very popular, not to mention on TV too! So when I saw an advertisement for a movie I hadn't seen yet, off to the theatre I went. Of course, I was in for a surprise. I saw a prison drama about a condemned man awaiting execution and the nun that befriends and comforts him. What was the 1995 movie I watched? Hint


Question 6 of 10
6. Next time I went to the movies, I took in what I thought was a spy and conspiracy thriller. I thought it would be about agents planted in other countries until they were needed. What I got instead was a campy comedy with biting satire and slapstick. What was this 1973 Woody Allen comedy? Hint


Question 7 of 10
7. Have you ever wondered why they don't make soap operas into movies? Well maybe that's not such a great idea anyway, but I thought I had found one. The multi-national corporation Newman Enterprises on 'The Young and the Restless' is run by a megalomaniac and his children. This however wasn't to be the plot in the movie I watched. Instead I watched a movie about a woman dressed as a man dressed as a woman. What was the name of this confusingly plotted movie? Hint


Question 8 of 10
8. Medical dramas are fun. These movies include the race against time, the final inoculation, the misunderstood disease and the unusual symptoms. This movie I found intrigued me so I rented it, but of course it was about something completely different, and I'm not talking about Monty Python! It turned out to be about a man who is extra-maritally tempted by a gorgeous neighbor while his family is away. What is the title of this Billy Wilder-directed comedy? Hint


Question 9 of 10
9. A biography on the first openly gay politician assassinated in 1978 came out in 2008. I found out later it was called 'Milk' and starred Sean Penn. Well, I managed to confuse the title and ended up watching a hilarious movie about a mild-mannered man who sees an invisible 6 foot tall rabbit. What was the rabbits name, which was also the name of the movie? Hint


Question 10 of 10
10. I decided it was time for an outdoorsy movie. So I decided to watch a fishing movie. It was not to be though as I instead watched the beautiful Sandra Bullock in a cyber-mystery from 1995. What was the name of this computer oriented thriller? Hint
