Possibly the most addictive website I've come across in a while is http://www.sporcle.com, which is basically a website entirely full of quizzes. You pick a quiz, and you have to try and name as many answers in that category as possible in the time limit.

I wanted to share the addiction, and also challenge you all to a few quizzes. We're movie-loving folk round here, but how well do we know our movies? Take sporcle's quizzes, and find out. Can you finish the movie quotes? Do you which movies won the most Oscars? Or how about what a movie's working title was? It's time to find out.

I'm gonna start off by posting the scores of 12 Sporcle movie quizzes I've taken. I know a bit about movie history, but no doubt many of you will beat me. I'm not saying these are necessarily all correct, but they seem ok, and usually have pretty good sources.

Follow the link, take the quiz, post your score, see if you beat me. Good luck...and remember, no cheating! Honesty, people.

Finish the Movie Quote - 10/16 (http://www.sporcle.com/games/finishthequote.php)
Finish the movie Quote II  - 9/16 (http://www.sporcle.com/games/finishthequoteII.php)
Highest Opening Weekends of All-Time - 16/20 (http://www.sporcle.com/games/highestopeningweekend.php)
Most Oscar Movies - 11/25 (http://www.sporcle.com/games/mostoscarmovies.php)
Movie Taglines - 10/20 (http://www.sporcle.com/games/movietaglines.php)
Movie Taglines II - 13/20 (http://www.sporcle.com/games/movietaglinesii.php)
Top Grossing Movie Franchises - 21/30(http://www.sporcle.com/games/topgrossingmoviefranchises.php)
Working Title Movies - 14/27 (http://www.sporcle.com/games/workingtitle_movies.php)
Movie Songs - 11/24 (http://www.sporcle.com/games/moviesongs.php)
Movie Posters - 18/24 (http://www.sporcle.com/games/movieposters.php)
Movie Posters II - 18/24 (http://www.sporcle.com/games/moviepostersii.php)
AFI Top 10 - 26/40 (http://www.sporcle.com/games/afi_topten.php)

Enjoy! Right, I'm off to get a life...

First quiz 10/16 - could have gotten a couple more but I didn't get exact wording.
Movie Poster 19/24 - again had trouble with a couple of them because of spelling.
Movie Taglines 11/20 - that was tough.

I had a crack at a few of those but I haven't seen enough movies of the last 10 years.

Movie quote - I got 13/16 and I protest the Austin Powers one.

23/24 on both movie poster ones.

I've had a look and know I won't do well.  My memory is poor.

A warning to anyone who encounters this site: it is horrifically addictive. It's like crystal meth, coke and nicotine mixed into one sweet, gloopy paste. And then poured into the internet.

Time just disappears on this site. For instance, I just spent five minutes of my life on this quiz: http://www.sporcle.com/games/worldchickenpopulation.php - I got 28 out of 30. Do I feel like I'm wasting my life with these quizzes? Yes! Do I care? No!
