Re: Movie (and the like) Quiz -- General-purpose time-waster
As the head arbiter, I would rule against titles, honorifics, etc. being part of the name. Seems to be one step farther away from the original intent of First+Last = Title. (Here's a film with more than one: Captain Newman, M.D.)
I'll go through the rest of the offerings some time today and update the running list. I'm not surprised there are a lot more answers here than I might have originally thought. Keep them coming.
A handful that I've thought of since posting:
Harry Brown
Ally McBeal
Peter Gunn
Mike Hammer
Ellery Queen
Lou Grant
Stoney Burke
Agatha Raisin

Great! Go ahead and enter me now. Here are my responses! (I just dumped my database):
1) Diane Keaton
2) Tom Hanks
3) Woody Allen
4) same as (1)
5) Diane Keaton
I can't help it if Bugs Bunny never taught me this stuff with the other cultural learnings .
ETA - Oh crap! I meant Meryl Streep for #1,4,5. The crooked nose lady - I just saw her name below. Yeah, I'm good at this...

Think of it this way: if he does it before the Oscars, there will be less trivia to work with.CasketRomance wrote: ↑Fri Feb 15, 2019 1:12 pmnaw...only 2 things i desire in this world...plethora of trivia and access to online poker...you can help with the formermorbeedo wrote: ↑Fri Feb 15, 2019 1:09 pmYou’re hard to please, aren’t you?CasketRomance wrote: ↑Fri Feb 15, 2019 1:03 pmwhen christmas themed games are done they aren't done after christmas...why not have oscar trivia pre ceremony?

The losing streak ends here, since we are diving into TV shows:
Perry Mason
