Great quiz, Alex! I got three out of six.
That’s not bad, Ann of Anne Street 🙂
I was correct for 4 of these… #1, 3, 4, 6. I really liked #4! Back then anyway…
Yeah, Cruel Intentions was everywhere at that point. Reese Witherspoon has gone on to so much since.
I never saw any of these although I did manage to guess correctly for #6.
It wasn’t a bad film really. Had its moments.
4/6. The two I got wrong were because I guessed the wrong movie for the people in the pic. Oh well.
A solid score. I did choose some hard pictures in there.
I got them all but was nervous the picture wasn’t from Wild Things. In Australia, March was called Cruel Intentions 2 even it was a prequel. A terrible film but Amy Adams was in it and there was an interesting scene involving a horse. 😮
Amy Adams? Well she had to start somewhere haha. I remember her from Catch Me if you Can. I’m not sure whether to ask about the horse…
She was wonderful in Catch Me If You Can wasn’t she? I saw her on Graham Norton recently where they discussed that she got this great first break out role in a Spielberg film and remarkably didn’t get another acting gig for a year. Interesting eh?
She always comes across super well on chat shows. She was blonde in that film. Maybe people prefer her a redhead ha.
I just flat out prefer her. 😉
I like the film reference in there too 😉
??
Trying to be a bit too clever. She had a memorable role in the film Her with Joaquin Pheonix.
Oh of course! Silly me. 🙂 man I could take about Amy Adams all day.
I only got #1 😳
It features Slave to Love so the argument is that you got the best one 🙂
Ok, I’ll take it! 😉
I failed miserably.
Nothing about you is a failure.
Sweet as always xx
finally stumped me alex. only got 4/6. missed 9 1/2 weeks and wild things
Had to be a tough one to stump you. The Wild Things was a deliberately tricky photo. I didn’t want to make it too easy so mixed it up a bit.
Always knew u were smart 😉
I’ve been trying to convince my parents of that for years haha
Lol
zilch – but good quiz
Thanks. Zilch is such a good word isn’t it 🙂
🙂
5/6 not too bad!!!!! 🙂
Impressive stuff Emma. Which one stumped you?
Thanks Alex! The first one, I’ve never seen 9 1/2 weeks. To be fair I’ve never seen Wild Things either but I took a guess from seeing Denise Richards in the pic 🙂 I didn’t think it was Stormship Troopers haha!
That film was gloriously bad. Apart from her role as Christmas Jones alongside Bond, I’d struggle to remember any of her films. She has been in memorable Two and a Half Men and Seinfeld episodes mind.
Who are we talking about again? Haha 🙂
Very fitting for the quiz haha
Indeed haha 🙂
4/6 and I can confirm I have not seen any of the sequels!
Even if life wasn’t short, it sounds like a good idea to avoid them haha. IMDB gives Son of the Mask a 2.2 rating. Mind you, I had a look and Glitter got 2.1 score.
Got 4 – totally forgot American Psycho had a sequel.
It has Mila Kounis and William Shatner in it. There’s a cast line up I never expected to see.
I only knew Bring it On haha. I’m not even sure if I’ve seen the original, I loved Bring it On: In it to Win it though. I wonder if I’d like it now that I’m older
The original has its moments. One for the TV than the cinema though. Do they have cheerleaders in Holland?
I think we do, but nothing like in America! It’s not like we have cheerleaders at sport competitions or at schools
I’m not sure any country takes it more seriously than the US haha.
Haha good point!
Oh my, I had no idea there was a sequel to American Psycho! I doubt it’ll be any good, same w/ 9 1/2 Weeks.
I’ve never seen them either. Can’t say I’ve ever been tempted!
ohhhhhh Bring it on!! that movie seriously made me want to become a cheerleader for a minute! but I had no idea Cruel Intentions 2 was even a thing?! Awesome post!
Take it a compliment that you hadn’t haha. How close to trying out were you?
I may or may not have been a cheerleader for a brief period of time- I can’t confirm or deny it ….we all make mistakes 😦 it just wasnt the right fit for me 😛
You need to post about that some day 😉

3/6 I am getting better :p I have only seen the sequel of Cruel Intentions. I know I watched it, but I can’t recall a thing about the movie.
I’m sure that goes for most people. Still sounds better than Son of the Mask mind.
