I am genuinely shocked. I thought this was a walk in the park. :slightly_smiling_face: Maybe I should’ve stuck to 5 questions a category after all. They just seemed so easy. :man_shrugging:

It’s 1 of those things, if you watch a lot of films you probably find it easy, like how i find a lot of science ones easy. With this one i think i knew nearly all the kids ones but literally none of the others (probably betrays my taste in films :joy:)

Yep, I’ve hardly watched any films at all so I’m not that surprised to be honest! I’m glad you did the 10 not 5, otherwise its very possible my score would have been 0 :joy:

Definitely up for more of those though in future in the hope I’ve watched more… :crossed_fingers:t2:
