"If you are stuck at home and bored like me. How about exercising the old grey cells? I have for a number of years run quiz nights and couple of times a year. I was due to do one tomorrow which is now cancelled So I have a bank of questions sitting in my computer's hard drive. They are quite eclectic in their nature. I am thinking I could put up a set of questions for which you write down your answers. After 30mins or so I will put up the answers. DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWERS. before I post the right answers. You mark your own answers and post your score. I will then record the scores and at the end of the ""lockdown"" we will see who is WHO's brainbox supreme. Obiviously no looking up the answers (you only cheat yourselves) Word of warning these won't be easy questions as they have been devised for teams of six. Forming teams on here might be too problematic. So I'll try to pick out the easier questions. Any interest?"

"Zico, you won't be surprised at my lowly 10 but I wish to complain that question 35, Anthony Hopkins played C. S. Lewis in Shadowlands. Whilst Jack was his nickname in the film he is cast as C.S.""Jack"" Lewis. As you can guess I did know that until I checked the Cast List.(https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/10445-shadowlands/cast) But as I only watched the film last week I thought I might be correct. Feel free to offer your profuse apology and award me 30 bonus points for my pedantry which far exceeds my film knowledge :) Ps I fully expect this will start a full-blown debate as to what is the official authority on castings as IMdB has it as Jack Lewis. But I have learnt there are very few things that are absolutely true now there is a real debate. ;)"

20. Thanks.

Got a couple because of the alphabetical order and some educated guessing.

"I did wonder about the ""The"" section but at the same time might have confused matters even more if I had put ""The Firm"" in under F as ""Firm"", sounds like a totally different movie! Lol. Thought you would have probably got most of them even without the alphabetical order MD."

"36. The whole ""the"" section fucked me over. Knew wolf of Wall St, and a couple I thought I knew, but thought ""nag can't be that"" as I'd not counted for the ""the"" at the beginning. Thought I was going nuts"
