No one got the last 2, so I will reveal the final two answers

#1 is Consenting Adults
#11 is the 2002 version of Rollerball

Because no one won this quiz (3 tied for first place), I will do something a little different.  I will add 1 bonus movie spoiler.  This is worth 6 points, which means whoever gets it correct will win this quiz

BONUS:  The school bully is a rapist, and gets knocked out by the geek who finally stood up for himself when the bully went too far with the girl the geek liked

Dang.  I thought it would be harder than that.  All the years I watched BTTF, it never really occured to me that Biff was essentially a rapist, so I thought it would make a difficult spoiler, but you got it Doc.  You have won this quiz! :)

Well, technically Biff was attempting to rape Lorraine, and would have probably wound up a convicted felon if George hadn't stopped him. Could explain why 30 years later, he was still at George's beck & call.
