There you have it. Now let's see how you all fared...

I should have gone with my gut in regards to the T Rex...

And as for all the early films, to that I say, "Ohhhhhhh, craaaaaaaaaaaap."

ha ! boy did i bollox this one up :)

You and me both...Once again, I dug WAY too deep

i have absolutely no knowledge at all about the older classics


or any movies really.


i just like 'em, i'm not a film historian :)

Me as well... And I actually thought I was doing well in this challenge. :o

When it came between "older" and "oldest," I chose the better known older one. Whiiiiiiiiiich obviously wasn't the one to pick. Shoulda known better.

Oh, I went back as far as possible...Jeez


I think V's greatest trick, is to NOT trick us when we think he may be trying to trick us :D
