Ok I'll give you a point for that East. I based the question on the fact that Henrietta Maria was "queen consort" of Charles I of England and daughter of King Henry IV of France rather than "ruling" Queen so to speak but indeed some sites just put her down as a Queen!

Re: Daily Quiz anyone?
East, see your film knowledge is decent. 
Both films are outstanding. Apparently the scene in the street where Hoffman shouts at cab drivers was all ad libbed. Only 18 certificate to win an Oscar for Best Picture I believe. You don't see films like that anymore. Watched The French Connection again last week and it's brilliantly gritty. Must confess I love Midnight Run as well. Charles Grodin was exceptional.
