Nice. Very nice.
I got the last three…I really enjoyed them especially Oblivion. I loved the music they had for Oblivion.
Nice to see Tom Cruise back in a really popular film
Yes…which one is your most favorite?
Probably Jerry Maguire, though I do have a soft spot for the fifth one in this https://alexraphael.wordpress.com/2013/12/01/film-quizzes-tom-cruise/
Top marks again my friend! I’m too damn good at this. 😉
You’re supposed to get a few wrong so I could say: “Don’t worry, it’s not the end of the world” 😉
1, 2, 3, 4 and 6. I can’t believe I didn’t realize that was The Book of Eli (I’ve never seen it, but the picture is pretty obvious all the same).
What did you think of Waterworld? Was it different to what you expected?
I remember really liking it. A lot. And not understanding why so many people insulted it as terrible.
But here’s the thing: I saw it, twice, when it was first released on video and never again. When it was released, I was either a high school sophomore or junior, so I don’t know whether or not my opinion can be trusted. 🙂
Depends what you were doing at high school 😉
Being serious, I can remember how much the fact it went over budget really seemed to annoy people. Got a lot of bad press. Funnily enough, it actually made a profit.
Hey, Alex…my family, yes four of us, got them all right!! We love apocalyptic movies!!! When is the next one coming out?
Congrats to the four of you. Always open to suggestions. I’ll definitely keep it in mind and might well do another one soon. Next up is horror.
I got them all except Oblivion! Haven’t seen that one yet.
Not a bad score at all. People really do know their apocalyptic movies.
Love this one! Easily got all these as I love Apocalyptic movies! Did a top ten list of them at one point. And Aliens is one of my “desert island” films. : ) I need to watch The Book Of Eli… But I still knew it. ; )

You so cheated on this ha 😉 Mind you when I put The Godfather and The Godfather 2 as one film. How can you separate them?
Hehe – I always put sequels, trilogies, etc together. If I feel like it. My top tens are also often at least eleven. ; )
Woohoo! Clean sweep! Love it when that happens because it never usually does.
I hope you did a funky dance
I was sitting in the hairdressers at the time and yes, yes I did. 😀
I hope you got a discount 😉
4 out of 6! I never saw 5 and 6 so I didn’t know it 🙂
