Quiz the sixty-ninth: If I had a hammer (Part one)
Well, if I had a hammer I’d use it to hammer nails, even though I’m not much of a handyman (to put it mildly). The people in these films, however, have other uses than carpentry and home renovations in mind. Violent uses. I hope you’re ready for this week’s quiz, because it’s hammer time!
Quiz the sixty-eighth: Screaming headlines (Part four)
Stop the press! It’s time to scan some more news of the day in another round of screaming headlines. See if you can identify where these stories first broke.

Quiz the sixty-seventh: Billboard material (Part one)
You’ve got something to say and you want to say it BIG! Better rent some billboard space if you want people to get the message. Just like you see here. Talk about product placement!
Quiz the sixty-sixth: Like a bird in a cage (Part one)
I’ve never had a bird, but I’m told they actually make quite affectionate pets. They don’t often have much of a role to play in movies, but here are some notable appearances.
Quiz the sixty-fifth: Under a microscope (Part one)
This week you’re invited into the lab to view a selection of slides that have been submitted for your close perusal and proper classification.
Quiz the sixty-fourth: Some heads are gonna roll (Part two)
You see all the trouble you get into when people’s heads go missing? Just think of poor Imogen. Anyway, there’s no need to lose your head over this week’s quiz. These unfortunates have already suffered enough.

Quiz the sixty-third: Chalk talk (Part one)
Ah, chalkboards. Another everyday feature of twentieth-century civilization now vanishing into obsolescence. These quizzes have had a few such items (remember headlines? phone booths?). This week it’s chalkboards. Class is now in session, so see how many of these movies you can identify.
Quiz the sixty-second: Hostages (Part one)
This week’s quiz lets you play hostage negotiator. See how many of the following films you can identify, without anyone putting a gun to your head.
Quiz the sixty-first: Drive tapes (Part one)
There have been some pretty easy quizzes around here recently, so let’s mix things up with a quiz that separates the casual cinephile from the true auteur of film trivia. In other words, one that is downright impossible. Yes, it’s a gallery of that most useless cutaway in film: a shot of the car radio! I doubt the people who made some of these movies could identify them, though I think there are a couple that are manageable. In other words: Good luck!
