Since my last film quiz on con artists, there have been two sad losses in Hollywood, that of the American director Joel Schumacher (1939 – 2020) and of Italian composer Ennio Morricone (1928). Starting off as a costume designer Schumacher started submitting scripts before he broke into Hollywood and having a wide array of successful films. Morricone is most associated with the so-called ‘spaghetti westerns’, but had a hugely varied nd successful St career in film and television.

Well at least I got The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. Even that was a guess about which one it was 🙂
It’s a classic. Of the other 11 I like Falling Down the most. A guy just snaps and loses it one morning and it’s about the adventures he has.
Lost Boys is one of my all time favorites! Do you have a favorite 80’s movie?
The 80s had so many classics in that vein. Stand By Me, The Karate Kid, Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller. I do like Amadeus a lot, and Field of Dreams. Die Hard would probably win though, just!
You nailed down all the best ones! At the tail end of the decade When Harry Met Sally came out and made me fall for Harry Connick Jr. I loved that movie too. Lots of favorites from the 80s.
Yeah that’s a great shout. Such a fun romcom. Can you imagine how fun it would be to go that restarant? It’s actually exists and you can order too.
I didn’t know that! How fun!
10/12 – missed both final ones 🙂 great quiz as always AR! Hope all is well by u and urs in these crazy times
Very good score Rob. Some really fantastic films in there. Falling Down is my favourite, but some very good ones.
I got ….4!
Good stuff 🙂
