The last time I had a chess quiz I confessed that I was a lousy chess player. Since then I’ve been playing a lot of chess online. I haven’t gotten any better. I’m still a lousy chess player. I’m much better at quizzes.

13) The Thing
19) 2001: A Space Odyssey
23) His Kind of Woman
…that’s all I got.
I thought The Thing and 2001 were gimmes. Who can forget Russell pouring his drink into the computer? But good catch for His Kind of Woman! I didn’t see anyone getting that.
“Cheatin’ bitch!” says MacReady. Thing screenwriter Bill Lancaster (Burt’s son) has one of the most understated bios on all of IMDb:
Bill was known by his friends as “Billy”, when he was a youth. He attended “public” school, as many actor’s sons and daughters did in the 1960s. He was never athletic since he was stricken with a childhood disease. He was well liked at Emerson Junior High School in West Los Angeles, California. He graduated from Emerson in June 1962. He was known as a friend to everyone, rich or not. After Emerson, he went on to University High School in Los Angeles.

Didn’t see anyone getting Night Moves. Not much for you to go on there.
