Great little quiz, thanks for posting. 

I got what I think is about average (15 out of 25).  To be fair, a lot of the ones I didn't get, I haven't either heard of or seen.

I fared worse than you... 11
But I must admit that I'm not much of a movie goer so my film knowledge is often limited to some pretty old stuff...

13 here as well also with a few lucky guesses. I think I would have fared better by guessing the cameras.

They should have added more movies to the quiz... like Roger Rabbit and Space Odyssey...

10 for me. I'm also not a movie buff at all, though I've seen certain movies like Blowup specifically for the camera content ...

14 for me... with a fair bit of guesswork.
Some great movies represented there.
I've got "The Killing Fields" and "Salvador" on DVD somewhere... will have to dig them out and give them a viewing...
Popcorn anyone?

A more-than-expected 13 - many of my guesses were apparently correct

16 for me. On a couple as soon as I clicked I realised nooo it wasn't that one!

a reasonable 12 for me, but this quiz makes a nice "to-watch-list"  8)

What I found funny was that on the ones where I hesitated, I always chose the wrong one...

I watched Blowup specifically for the Yardbirds.

16, but it should have been 18 if I'd thought about it a bit longer, but 16. Not bad really.

You got 23 out of 25 right!

Although, I haven't watched all of the movies. Some guesses were right though.
