Movie Fun

One of the great movie quizzes of all time has just been posted at Sergio Leone and the Infield Fly Rule. No, it's not a test of trivial knowledge, though it does include such obscuranta as Question 3: "Eugene Pallette or Charles Coburn?" And 8: "Foxy Brown or Coffy?" And it does tempt us movie junkies into dangerous realms of pretension with, "Using our best reviewer-speak, what is an 'important' film comedy? And what is to you the most important film comedy of the last 35 years?" But it also includes some fine, universal thought-provokers, like "What was the last movie you saw in a theater? On DVD? And why?" And, "What's the worst movie title of all time?" And, "Name a movie you think of as your own?"

      The comments of other readers are fun too, including many familiar figures from the cinegeek blogosphere. And my personal favorite movie blogger, Campaspe at Self-Styled Siren, runs her answers on her own blog, which are worth reading by themselves. Even though she is wrong about Jane Greer and Veronica Lake.
