Ah, the Incredibles. I’ve seen it, but had no recollection of the name Edna Mode.

I had no clue on the bonus questions. And I wasn’t certain about each of the answers. Some of those movies are my favorites. Great quiz, Dan!

That’s two n’s on number 7 and was a line by the character cited! I only know 2 or 7 tho–I suck. 1 is throwing me off because I keep thinking of Fran Leibowitz from Mad About You!

1. “National Lampoon’s Animal House”
2.
3.
4. “Blazing Saddles”
5. “Office Space”
6. “Caddyshack”
7.
8. “The Incredibles”
9. “This is Spinal Tap”
10. “The Godfather”

Bonus question: The Lemonheads
Bonus bonus: I’m going to guess Aimee Mann, but it’s probably Juliana Hatfield.

These are the answers I knew off the top of my head. I looked up the three I didn’t after mentally giving up. It’s been a long time since I’ve watched “Fargo.” I just plain forgot about Jimmy in “Sixteen Candles.” No. 7 might be your prime stumper, though. But I hate Eric Stoltz. So I’ve had no reason to watch that movie again.

Good quiz.

i don’t really know any of those except for Young Frankenstein but I have It’s a Shame About Ray by the Lemonheads featuring Evan Dando as lead singer and I knew that Juliana Hatfield said/sang/yelled ‘I just want a bit part in your life’ or something. My memory might fail me.
