No. Didn't recognize even one.

 
NinjaSocks [TotalFark] 2008-08-09 11:49:59 AM  
Hmm. I got 17, but I also incorrectly guessed three. Not so hot.

 
murphy_31 [TotalFark] 2008-08-09 11:59:08 AM  
25. I'm not sure whether to be proud of that.

 
JuicyJ 2008-08-09 12:09:26 PM  
No

 
Sybarite [TotalFark] 2008-08-09 12:11:36 PM  
Wheh, tough game. I managed 16. I'm embarrassed to say the only one I got out of the last batch was the interrogative. I really thought the last "h" was from a Harry Potter movie.

 
BatardAmericain 2008-08-09 12:25:37 PM  
Wow I'm glad I couldn't identify most of them because I don't sit on my ass and watch movies all the farking time.

 
sombreradoraloca 2008-08-09 12:27:30 PM  
I'm actually kind of embarrassed that I didn't recognize any of the classic movie poster fonts--some of them are incredibly obvious, looking back on them.

 
Blue Summer Union 2008-08-09 12:28:08 PM  
I got 9. How the hell did you freaks get more than 9?

 
The Dogs of War 2008-08-09 12:28:53 PM  
well, i got a clockwork orange right. that's all i really care about
/favorite movie

 
Sir Vanderhoot 2008-08-09 12:29:03 PM  
15

I'm kind of surprised I got that many.

 
Sunflake 2008-08-09 12:30:20 PM  
I got most of the classics, but I've never heard of some of those movies.

 
Timdesuyo 2008-08-09 12:30:26 PM  
I was kinda pissed about the fight club one. The background threw me.

 
wax_on 2008-08-09 12:31:45 PM  
Got 10. Missed Blade Runner.

 
YouPeopleAreCrazy 2008-08-09 12:34:16 PM  
2. Cars & Blade Runner

 
Dinobot 2008-08-09 12:34:58 PM  
I only got 8 correct answers, oh well

 
blazemongr 2008-08-09 12:35:40 PM  
BatardAmericain: Wow I'm glad I couldn't identify most of them because I don't sit on my ass and watch movies all the farking time.

They're from the movie posters and DVD box art, really, so your elitist snottery is somewhat wasted.

 
GORDON 2008-08-09 12:35:43 PM  
14, and it told me I was wrong when i said '101 dalmatians."

So I'm calling it 15.

 
mfaby 2008-08-09 12:35:47 PM  
Movie guy and suffered from MASSIVE 'FAIL'.

There is ONE mistake in the quiz, though.

The 'O' they used in the quiz is actually a ZERO from
'101 Dalmations'

 
captian_napalm 2008-08-09 12:36:08 PM  
I got shrek, terminator and for a few seconds convinced my self that I could see the 'M' from Clockwork Orange - until I realized the obvious

 
slumcat05 2008-08-09 12:36:38 PM  
WTF? 101 Dalmatians!?! I considered that, but that's a zero, not the letter 'o'. I demand my money back!

 
haysoos 2008-08-09 12:39:17 PM  
Ten, plus I guessed "101 Dalmations" instead of just "101".

Some of them were pretty obvious in hindsight.

 
kuranes 2008-08-09 12:39:57 PM  
Hey, Shrek!

 
VOCSL5 2008-08-09 12:40:09 PM  
12
Glad I missed some of those....

 
Ogre840 2008-08-09 12:40:18 PM  
21, or 45%... And yeah the Dalmatians thing annoyed me, so I counted it right since it's so obvious...

Yeah no life :/

 
boywondered 2008-08-09 12:40:19 PM  
I haven't finished yet, but I got 15 so far. I am saddened by the fact that among those are the more high quality movies like Showgirls.

 
syrynxx [TotalFark] 2008-08-09 12:40:35 PM  
I wanted to make a snarky comment about Bernie Mac, but there were too many posts in that thread.

 
stingrza [TotalFark] 2008-08-09 12:41:00 PM  
I'm at 29 and still going...

And a special thanks to the losers who commented just to say that they don't watch movies so therefore they're superior to those of us that do...

 
coco ebert [TotalFark] 2008-08-09 12:41:07 PM  
The only ones I got:
West Side Story
Manhattan
Shrek
A Clockwork Orange
Sex and the City
M
Vertigo
The Simpsons Movie
101 (although I said 101 Dalmations- c'mon)

As A Hitchocok lover, I'm really embarrassed I didn't get "Psycho".

I just now realized what a great movie poster "Showgirls" had.

 
Quantum Apostrophe 2008-08-09 12:41:11 PM  
TRON would have been a nice font too.

 
Daroc 2008-08-09 12:42:48 PM  
GORDON: 14, and it told me I was wrong when i said '101 dalmatians."

Samn with the 101 dalmations.

I got 11 with out trying too hard. Acceptable I guess.

Sybarite: Wheh, tough game. I managed 16. I'm embarrassed to say the only one I got out of the last batch was the interrogative. I really thought the last "h" was from a Harry Potter movie.

I thought that too, but it would have been capitalized.

 
falcon176 2008-08-09 12:45:51 PM  
an incredible 9

 
thetrouseredape 2008-08-09 12:46:08 PM  
32. Can't believe I missed "Gone With The Wind"

 
GungFu 2008-08-09 12:46:43 PM  
21.

Not too shabby.

 
NinjaSocks [TotalFark] 2008-08-09 12:49:34 PM  
I typed in "101 dalmatians" and the quiz marked it correct. Perhaps it's because I correctly spelled "dalmatians."

 
bigbaddoc 2008-08-09 12:51:00 PM  
I got Shrek, Clockwork Orange, Clerks, Pulp Fiction, and the Simpsons... I'm rather happy that I don't know more than those...

 
theorellior 2008-08-09 12:51:01 PM  
As a font nerd, I'm getting a kick out of these replies.

 
lolmadillo 2008-08-09 12:52:14 PM  
guessed on 32, got 23 right & 9 wrong

 
NinjaSocks [TotalFark] 2008-08-09 12:52:19 PM  
theorellior: As a font nerd, I'm getting a kick out of these replies.

I was disappointed to see that The Nightmare Before Christmas wasn't on there. I love that font.

You spelled dalmatians wrong.

 
Jeffrey.Rodriguez 2008-08-09 12:53:35 PM  
15 I got most the ones I've seen posters for. There were lots of really new and older stuff I haven't seen the posters for. Cool little test though.

I called "mallrats" for "clerks", I knew I recognized the style. Ah well.

 
rhiannon [TotalFark] 2008-08-09 12:53:42 PM  
I looked for a "Jaws" one and didn't see it so, no.

 
swahnhennessy 2008-08-09 12:54:06 PM  
Mistook I, Robot for Men in Black. Thought Showgirls was Kiss of the Spider Woman. Some were obvious, many should have been obvious. Feel sad and worthless now, knowing that I can identify so many. Going outside.

 
BloodyL 2008-08-09 12:54:11 PM  
I think it's interesting to see how many of those posters/letters/movies are set during (or at least contain elements from) the "classic" glamour age of American history, the 1930s/'40s. I'm looking at King Kong, Sin City, and Pulp Fiction on that list.

I kept waiting for a letter from Gattaca to appear, but no such luck . . .

 
Badafuco 2008-08-09 12:54:17 PM  
I only got 9

 
lolmadillo 2008-08-09 12:55:21 PM  
GORDON: 14, and it told me I was wrong when i said '101 dalmatians."

me too, wtf

so i'm saying 24 and 8

 
danar75 2008-08-09 12:55:51 PM  
Only got 11, and couldn't even attempt guesses on most of the rest. But yeah, I'm glad that doesn't mean I sit on my arse and watch movies, either. I sit on my arse and watch TV instead.

 
Lando Lincoln [TotalFark] 2008-08-09 12:56:00 PM  
BatardAmericain: Wow I'm glad I couldn't identify most of them because I don't sit on my ass and watch movies all the farking time.

But you sit on your ass and take movie trivia quizzes even though you don't sit on your ass and watch movies all the time.

You have some strange habits.

I got 18, by the way.

This and This, This.

 
Gulper Eel [TotalFark] 2008-08-09 12:57:32 PM  
I got all the kids' movies, plus Clockwork Orange.

Yeah, I'm a heck of a parent.
