9/10
I got 10 out of 10
10/10.
10 out of 10. The only two films I've never seen out of this list are "The Amityville Horror" and "Kramer Vs. Kramer." I got the answers right because I knew what films they were, just from the images I was shown. That's how pervasive the advertising for those films was back then. You didn't have to see the movie in order to know which one it was!
9 out of 1o missed # 9.
You got 7 out of 10
Not too shabby lol

Way to go 70's! Those were the days indeed...

9/10. I hit The Jerk button but then it came up I hit animal house. I hate when that happens. Anyone else have that happen?
Yep! I try and be real careful now...
That's because the screen jerks up or down whenever an ad loads up. I've had that happen to me numerous times on this site while taking a quiz.
10/10, and I saw all of them...even "Star Dreck: The Motion Sickness".
Not a Star Trek fan?
Yes, I am, even though I wasn't at the time...but you have to admit that this particular movie was bad. Pretty...but bad.
Shatner's "Star Trek V: The Final Frontier" was infinitely worse than the first movie was, believe me.
I'm wasting my life away on these quizzes.
Nine out of 10. I flubbed the Rocky one because Apollo Creed was in I and II.
I did see "Star Trek, the Motion Picture" when it first aired on HBO, and the only thing I didn't like about it was the blah uniforms.

9/10 even though I've never seen any of these movies.
9/10 -- Missed "10." I went with "Arthur" even though I first thought it was "10." Argh!
You had to know it was "10", when you saw Bo Derek on the beach. She was not in "Arthur".
I'm with you...

5/10; I did very poorly on this one. I am not much of a movie fan and only saw about half of those.

I did pretty well, considering I've only seen 5/10.
