Film Quizzes: Archaeology

It was a pleasure to meet up with Anna from Film Grimoire who is down from Melbourne. I’ve long been a big fan of her site and in person she was just as I expected her. It was a delightful few hours that just flew by. When I met up with Abbi from Abbi Obiston I started a tradition of creating a specially dedicated quiz, in her case a South African quiz due to her native roots. I’ve already done an Australian-themed quiz, so I thought I’d do something related to one of the many topics we discussed: archaeology. How many will you get? Have you tales of when you met up with any bloggers?

(1970s)

(1980s)

(1990s)

(2000s)

Answers below

1. The Omen (1974)

How fun for you to meet Anna! I was lucky to meet Ruth from Flixchatter just a couple weeks ago. She visited the Sedona area and we went on a hike and out to lunch.

How lovely. How are your orienteering skills? Is she the first blogger you’ve met?

I think that’s wonderful that you were able to meet up with a fellow blogger. I haven’t been able to meet up with any, but maybe someday. And I scored 100% on your quiz! Yay!😊

I hope you get to meet some soon and they go really well. Awesome stuff on the quiz. I wasn’t sure anyone would get all six. Especially the last one haha. Wow, that film was bad.

  I checked the movie out from my library a few Halloweens ago, mainly because of Christian Slater, but I should have known that any movie with Tara Reid was going to be less than stellar.😕🎃💀👻👹

  Right up as one of the all time bad casting decisions. Denise Richards as a nuclear scientist is the other one that comes to mind.

4/6. Should have gotten 5, but drew a blank on Alone in the Dark. I’ve been trying to forget everything about that movie.

  I can’t believe I didn’t think of Tomb Raider when I was chatting to you about the quiz. It could have been any number of different things. Harry Potter films, the colour yellow, Film Noire, best foreign language films, Bond actors non-Bond films…
