Movie Trivia Game #1

Hey everyone!

This is the first of the Movie Trivia Games! It's simple to play, and I'll be giving out movie-related prizes in all of the Movie Trivia Games. Each game will consist of about ten questions, with bonus questions related to each original question.

Here's the rules:
• You do not have to answer every question, just do your best. (Using the internet is okay, of course. I have no way of knowing what you knew off the top of your head and what you had to look up.)
• Email your answers to movies100@hotmail.com and do NOT post your answers here in the comments (doing so will void out your entry- otherwise, you're just giving everyone else the answers).
• The deadline to submit answers and be eligible to win will be Feb 10th at 12:00pm (noon, PST).
• Prize: Winner's choice from one of the following:
-$10 Gift Card to Blockbuster
-$10 Gift Card to Regal Cinemas
-$10 Gift Card to Best Buy
-Your name posted on "100 Movies in 365 Days" along with your winning score!
• When you send your email, please let me know if I have your permission to post your name (specify: First and Last, First only, screen name only, anonymous etc) and your score. I intend to post the top scores of the people who give me permission to post.
• The first person to submit their answers will receive two bonus points!
Most IMPORTANT rule: Have fun!!!

Ready? Here we go!
