65% similar. I just picked the movie I had actually seen or I liked best out of the choices.
94% , I guess that's good as I could care less about the Oscars, a lot of those I've never heard of and others I've never seen.
91%
Wow, good score!😄 I only scored 81%.
But these aren't really scores, per se. There are no right or wrong answers. It's how you measure up to the most popular choices. Or something like that. I honestly don't know why I still take these types of quizzes. 🤔
59% similar.
72% lots of great movies. My favorite was witness
80% similar score. In my opinion " The Killing Fields" should have won over " Amadeus".
I agree with you.
81% similar. There were so many good actors in some of these movies. Some movies were good; others not as much.🤔
72%. I loved Raiders of the Lost Ark when it came out.
Me too!
Raiders of The Lost Ark better have won some kind of an award, I stood in line for an hour to see that movie.
Me too
Weeks before the official release, the producers had a sneak preview in Union, N.J.
to gauge viewers reactions.
All we knew from the ad in the paper was that it was a Spielberg production, good
enough reason to go see it.

I was shocked 😮 to know that “The Color Purple” didn’t win best movie in 1986!
Of course, I was only 6 years old, but I was shocked to find out many years later. “The Color Purple” is in my top 10 all-time greatest movies list.
