Hi everyone.

So... a few years ago a friend and I compiled this movie quiz for a charity night at a local pub. The questions came out of our heads and out of a few quiz books as well. I came across it on the computer and thought I'd chuck on here for your entertainment. I've updated a couple of the questions simply cause the answers were out-of-date.

If anyone wants the answers, just give me a shout.
