AFI's Top 10 Movie Quiz
Thursday, June 19th, 2008 - 1:07am
AFI just put out their top 10 movies in ten different categories. That is actually a good topic itself, but they also included this quiz based on the movies. I scored 31 out of 40. Not bad, but not great. Any takers?

27 out of 40. A lot of lucky guesses in there, too. This is why I need to see more classics.

The quotes killed me, as well.

It wasn't the quotes that got me, it was the "memorable performances in which genre?" I didn't do too bad on those, but they sure left me pondering for a while. I saw the "Klaatu barata nikto" quote and looked frantically for Army of Darkness for a moment before disappointment set in.
Does it use the same 40 questions for everyone or does it change them up any?
(Edit: same questions, it seems)
A Thin Man reference! Cool. I'll add it to nsmike's classics thread.

Yay! I don't feel as bad now.

Yeah, I'm waiting for someone to score lower than me so I can feel better about myself too.
31/40. There were plenty of "classic" movies in there that I not only have not seen, but have never heard of.

28/40 - stupid quotes.

You can feel better now... 20/40
Stars of the genre killed me too.
Plan to be spontaneous... tomorrow

Technically, it should be 11/40 but I got lucky. Movies created before I was born was what killed it for me.

I was surprised I had seen a few of the less memorable ones.

My girlfriend and I watched the AFI Ten Top Ten special a couple of nights ago and I couldn't believe some of their choices Aladdin didn't make the Top 10 Animated Films but Shrek got #7?! And 2001: A Space Odyssey was best Sci-Fi over Star Wars? MORONS I SAY!
As for the quiz, 24/40. I too suck at quotes.

Stupid quotes for jerks.
And remember, the Japanese aren't commercially whaling. They're conducting "research". Like "researching how delicious this whale is". - Paleocon
I wonder if they could've made the pictures a little more obnoxious. I particularly liked #7. We're only going to show you 1/16th of the picture at a time! If it's a trivia game I shouldn't have to be assembling images in my head!

30/40. I missed some by clicking too fast but also got some due to luck. So, it evened out.

30/40 and I could have got at least a couple more if I didn't rush to click. Stupid stupid!

I knew it.

That was probably my best, because I tended to know one or two of each set pretty easily. The quotes (if I remember correctly one quote was originally from someone else) and picture-->movie were a little more problematic. I totally got the "pet" shot right, though. Thanks, free movies shown in Grant Park!

23 ARG...but the section on Stars of the Genre is really tricky. Am really happy I got some of the tough ones right and ACTUALLY remember most of the quotes and not just a guessing frenzy!!
"NO PRISONERS"...nailed it and will never forget the train scene.
