@pgnI made the same mistake as you initially. Luckily I copped on just as I was re-reading  the Q&A before sending them in. Thanks anyway @Mi-Amigo for a great quiz. Will look at the other one later as I'm just editing a guide.

Well done one and all xx

Princess Bride is such an iconic film, no chance of not getting that.

The rest are hit and miss. Happy with a red and well done everyone!
