PA-LEASE, a TRON costume! That would so clash with my Stormtrooper armor.

Recognized the Alien one about a second after I clicked the wrong button. Too bad they didn't have a replay button on a couple of the sounds.

I got 100%, but I had to make an educated guess on one of the questions, since I've never seen the movie.

I got 100 credits. I am both happy and sad for me.

Replay?
For me I could click the little square to make it stop, then the triangle to play it again.

Your Score : 79 credits

Bah, I'm the among the bottom 25 percent here, apparently.

65. That was fun, though.

92. My TRON costume would consist of a taped-on frisbee, glow-sticks and a borrowed bike helmet.

Like Henrik, I managed a 79. For me, the early 50's stuff was the easy part. Never saw a lot of the later films.

I got 93, I am a dork, word not used in Australia, or a geek, word rarely used in Australia.

I'd rather have come up with a name like brongiwingimup.

But my score would have been higher if I knew more of the right answers

I'm finally home on my cable internet, so I took the test. (Dad's dial-up wouldn't have been up to the challenge.)

I got 85 credits, which includes a couple of wild guesses (that I got right; two others were wrong.) Some were easy due to context, etc. I got the fighter correct without getting the clip to load.

No problem with Alien's self-destruct message. Once you've heard Mother's voice, you don't forget it.

Although I'd still question the sci-fi pedigree of Alien and its successors: just monster-in-the-dark horror pictures to me.

No reason it can't be both. Aside from the FTL, the "emotional" android and some unlikely (but not impossible) biology, everything they had was scientifically plausible. Just not tactically sound.
