9/10. I hit The Jerk button but then it came up I hit animal house. I hate when that happens. Anyone else have that happen?
Yep! I try and be real careful now...

Not a Star Trek fan?

Yes, I am, even though I wasn't at the time...but you have to admit that this particular movie was bad. Pretty...but bad.

Nine out of 10. I flubbed the Rocky one because Apollo Creed was in I and II.
I did see "Star Trek, the Motion Picture" when it first aired on HBO, and the only thing I didn't like about it was the blah uniforms.

9/10 even though I've never seen any of these movies.

9/10 -- Missed "10." I went with "Arthur" even though I first thought it was "10." Argh!
JeffTanner CongoBill 53 months ago
You had to know it was "10", when you saw Bo Derek on the beach. She was not in "Arthur".
I'm with you...

5/10; I did very poorly on this one. I am not much of a movie fan and only saw about half of those.

I did pretty well, considering I've only seen 5/10.
