9/10 and got that score with a lot of guess work. I missed #6. Never would have picked "Vanishing Point". That would have been my third choice.

10/10. I've seen three of them (Marathon Man, Dirty Harry and the original Assault On Precinct 13), read one (The Taking Of Pellham 123) and keep meaning to read Six Days Of The Condor (the book that Three Days Of The Condor was based on). I also like to hang around here on the MeTV app, which may have helped.

Of course I'm old enough, 64, that I saw nearly every one of these at either the drive in or Cinema 28 in West Yarmouth. With my best friend Dave, Saturday matinees. In case he's reading.
