Hey, what a great idea for a quiz! :) I'm liking (even though I'm not much of a movie buff)


08 | The son's anti-gay father was gay all along, and kills his neighbour after he rejects his advances


I know I've seen this one. Just can't think of the title. :(


15 | The showman with precognative visions discovers he can see more than 2 minutes into the future.


Sounds very familiar. Somehow I'm thinking Nicholas Cage. But I'm usually wrong.


18 | The lawyer is the son of satan


Ah! Meet Joe Black.


19 | The reverse search for his wife's killer led to the revelation that she killed herself with his help


Also sound very familiar. Is it Memento?  :-\\

Glad you like this quiz Henk :)

You are on the right track



Ah! Meet Joe Black.

Also sound very familiar. Is it Memento?  :-\\


Meet Joe Jack, a good guess, but not the one that I seek

Memento is correct for 19.

I don't know whether this quiz is dead, or no one knows the remaining three LOL
I'll give it one more day before I reveal the answers (no more hints, because part of the fun is revealing the answer and you get to be like "Oh yeah, that's totally the movie")
