About This Quiz
Have you ever dreamed of leading a rebel star fleet against Darth Vader and the Empire? Perhaps, you dream of searching ancient and long-sought religious artifacts because "it belongs in a museum!" Are you a flyboy destined to hit the skies in an F-14 Tomcat? Or would you be found sprinting through foxholes and trenches during World War II? Are you an X-man running from oppression and fighting because it's your duty, or are you an Avenger, blessed with powers beyond imagination with the need to use them for good? Perhaps you're a romantic who wants to find a true love for the ages.
Do you love war movies? Are you a science fiction fanatic? Or, do you just dig a good action movie - historic or mystery? You've seen the leading men pull these parts together for decades, but now it's your turn. These are the movies every man - you - have always wanted to star in. But, first you need to be able to name these movies from an image.ÂÂ
It may seem easy for a movie buff like you, but just like every mystery you've ever seen, nothing is as it seems, and as they say in "Indiana Jones", "Trust no one."

Thanks to the crew and engineers back at NASA, the three astronauts, led by Jim Lovell (Hanks), made it home to a heroes' welcome. The famous quote used in the movie, "Houston, we have a problem," is in fact wrong. First of all, Jack Swigert said the words, not Lovell.
