Independent 8 Double Issue Quiz

[Barry Attwood]

I’ve decided to run my usual end of year quiz over two issues (September to October + November to December), this should hopefully give you all more time to enter, at least it should end the comments I get every year that it was too near Christmas, and they had no time to look at it, that excuse should now not be relevant, so please have a go.
There will be 15 questions relating to films from the 1970’s, 1980’s and the 1990’s.

The prizes are down to you, for every correct entry I will put £2 into the winners’ pot, so the more correct entries the bigger and more prizes can be awarded. As a help all the films listed are available on super 8, so that should be a big help (along with IMDB), entries close on 31^st December 2020.

Please send entries by Post (Independent 8, 34 Thornberry Avenue, Weeley, Clacton-on-Sea, CO16 9HW, U.K.) or by Email to indi8films@aol.com

[Osi Osgood]

I'll start working on this in a few days! Excelsior, Barry!

[Evan Samaras]

Thank you for offering these Quizzes Barry!

[Barry Attwood]

So far 10 entries (after about 10 days!), so £20 currently in the prize pot, come on have a go, you may win something!

[Barry Attwood]

Well it's been roughly 3 weeks now and only 13 entries, I know you've got to the end of the year, but I'm still a little dissapointed with the number of entries so far, so this is a reminder, if you wish to enter, and possibly win a prize, then please have a go, the more the merrier (and more prize money, too!).

[Tom Photiou]

Weird isn't it Barry, especially when you see how many people go on the forums.

[Barry Attwood]

Yes Tom, it is weird, it's not as though this time the quiz is very hard, all titles have made it onto Super 8 one way or another, and ALL the answers can be found on IMDB just with a little searching, even if you can't do it by memory! Oh well, I'm afraid it's not unexpected, let's just hope my little nudge here helps!

[Osi Osgood]

Barry, I can only speak for myself, but with two videos, a Christmas music video in the works as well as two books in production, getting around to my entry, well, it's on the back burner at the moment, but that doesn't mean that I won't get it in, and that might be the case as well with others. (On top of all of that, our newborn baby is sick.)

[Barry Attwood]

Osi,

That's why I've started the quiz early, but surely it can only take a few minutes to come up with the answers, especially as they are only an IMDB search away!

[Osi Osgood]

I just finished the contest and will send it off to you in a few days!
