10/10. Saw Labyrinth on TV (my best friend had cable) and I won two passes to see Willow from our local CBS affiliate at the time (it's now our Fox affiliate). If I'd answered their trivia question by saying Chuck Norris was a six-time World Heavyweight Karate Champion instead of simply World Karate Champion, I might have missed out on a damn good movie.
You can go see Labyrinth March 10th and 17th at any AMC theater that shows Fathom Events as it is the 35th anniversary of the film. Next month is "Gone with the Wind" 85th anniversary so it will be in theaters for three nights.
10/10 but I did guess on a couple of them. I saw most of these in a theater in the 1980s except Princess Bride and Legend. Legend is so dreadful I could not last through it on HBO. This was the era of repeated (failed) attempts to pull off an Epic Fantasy movie.
9/10. I missed the last one. Considering, I've only seen #1, #2, #4, #5, and #7, I'd say I didn't do too bad!
