Well done Guessometer - another hugely ethnocentric question right when really I had no idea.

I remembered the name of the bloke on the radio show that I'd never heard of until I started doing these quizzes, and consequently got 10/10.

I changed the radio show question from the right to wrong answer and dithered for ages doing. Gah.
Always be decisive. At least if the answer is wrong you'll still be speedy.

10/10 in 34 seconds may not be all that fast compared with the speed-merchants, but it's pretty damned quick for this disciple of Captain Slow.

I am the same Japes. For your enjoyment today's quiz is subtitled "obscure Hollywood movies". Well it isn't but it should be. No less than four (count 'em) film questions. Plus two books which have been made into films. Plus one US TV personality.
Not a good day.
