18. Speed and The Matrix?

EDIT: You sure some of these are even two movies lol?

-PB

Edited by paulbagzFC: 6/3/2015 09:08:53 AM

Half right.

Yep I had a real good lol at some of them.

Well #21 alone could just be Jumanji as it is.

Same with #16 basically being iRobot, #24 being Minority Report.

-PB

When you see what the other ones are you'll pick it up.

When I looked at the example question I straight away got saw and then when I saw that home alone was the other one it made sense.

But everything you named you've gotten right you just need the other one (in fact for 24 you got the harder of the two)

EDIT: In fact ill credit your half right answers and see if any one else can pick up the others
