Time to Test Your Cinematic Knowledge

Greetings from Nutmeg Land.

We’re officially a third of the way there!

Today, we’ve got a movie quiz for all you Cecil B. DeMille types.

Here’s how it works:

1. Below are 20 film titles listed alphabetically and 20 different film quotations. Your job is to correctly match up as many as you can.
2. Save/remember your answers and wait until tomorrow, Monday, 2 December, at which time I’ll post the answers at the bottom of Countdown Day 19.
3.  Post your scores in the comments section of either Facebook or LinkedIn – or both – and we’ll compare notes.

Good luck to you all.
