Oh the suspense . . .

I don't do cold, if I can help it. A Caribbean island sounds more fun, or Tahiti!

Couldn't agree more! Very easy general knowledge if you're a film buff.
I managed 10/10 but only with 1 lucky guess and one that took me ages before I decided it was probably right. I knew one of the film questions though.

O Yam, Yam, Yam dear...you'll do much worse than that, hon. I guarantee it. Don't mistake this quiz for a test of your IQ, or meaningful info stored in your brayne. Wait til you get a lint question. Or a date etiquette question. And please don't feel compelled to report your score every day. Just a few tips from a poor player (me).
Have fun.
