Despite being a font freak, I did depressingly badly on the quiz - got maybe 1/3 of them, and most of those really obvious ones.

I got 20. I put Sky Captain for King Kong. And I didn't recognize Blade Runner. That made me sad.

Those two I managed to correctly ID; Blade Runner simply from exposure to the images, and King Kong because I always hated the font they chose.

Yeah, I picked Sky Captain too, over King Kong. When it gave me the red 'X' I groaned and thought I missed a comma or something.

I posted this here, but your thread title makes it a little easier to know what it is.

101 Dalmations was my guess, and it marked it wrong. Firefox spell-check tells me why. 101 DalmatiAns. Dammit.

Yeah, I did way worse on this than I thought I would at first glance.

Ha! Yeah, I ran into that "Dalmations / Dalmatians" problem as you could see in the original thread.

I'm proud of a lot I got quickly, but pretty ashamed of a few others I completely missed.

Yup, me too. I imagine most got fucked up there.

I got 28 right. Either pretty good or pretty bad, depending on your POV.

Number 36 is a trick question. There is no E in Playstation 3.

I got 34 right. I have a freakish ability for pointless shit like this. I'm quite good at guessing what a film is before the opening studio logos are through.

Though, I've never been tested against a fellow film geek.

Anyone on here have friends who play board games? I have a couple groups of friends who love to play them, and they've grown to really hate playing "Scene It" with me. Ha ha. It's impressive to them, but I'm sure there are many of you on here who could just totally smash me at that game.

I got 30, which really surprised me actually.

I have some friends that have that, and they usually don't like playing with me. The last time we played everyone had a partner except me. Like you said though, I'm sure if I played with fellow Chewers I'd get my ass kicked at that game.

The first quiz I managed to get 33 of them. This second one, I only have 10 so far. Way harder. I've only figured out 5, 14, 18, 20, 24, 26, 41, 49, 55, 60. Oh well, at least something to keep me busy today.

I got all but Manhattan, Chinatown and Aliens on the first one. The second one I'm still working on - not willing to call it yet as some are still coming to me sporadically. I got 5, 14, 20, 21, 24, 26, 33, 34, 39, 41, 47, 49, 52 and 55 right and missed 3, 23, 25, 44, 46, 51 and 60 on first guess. These things are great.

If need be we can try and inviso-text it out in here.

Here's what I've got so far (invisotexted):

5. Apocalypse Now
14. L.A. Confidential
18. The Sting
20. Hellboy
26. The Fly
28. The Royal Tenenbaums
33. Seven
34. The Darjeeling Limited note-- you have to include the 'the' for this one to register as correct.
37. Close Encounters
41. E.T.
45. Signs
47. Serenity
49. Raiders of the Lost Ark
52. Juno
55. Predator
65. Forrest Gump

I could swear 54 was Strange Days, but no. 59 is driving me crazy.
