Last week's quiz was one of the tougher ones, but Craig, Ryan and Chuck prevailed once more!

Answers:

1. Rudy
2. Best in Show
3. Times Square (totally obscure movie that my friends and I watched incessantly in junior high. Great soundtrack, and stars Tim Curry!)
4. They Call Me Bruce
5. Back to School
6. Six Pack (a classic film starring the incomparable Kenny Rogers)
7. All I Want (fabulous quirky indie flick with Elijah Wood, Mandy Moore and Franka Potente. Inspired the antique red typewriter I gave Tony for Christmas one year.)
8. The Ladies Man
9. Lost in Translation
10. Love, Actually

Besides being the Summer Blowout Quiz, this week's challenge also has a theme! Of the fifteen movies, some of them are decidedly *mine* and some are decidedly *Tony's*. As in, one leaves the room when the other is watching it for one of three possible reasons: a) don't care, b) can't stand one or more of the actors in the movie, and/or c) can't stand storyline.
