No. 24


4 correct guesses (Carrie, rumplefin, tmantones, Hillary)

No. 20


4 correct guesses (CindyLouWho, Carrie, tmantones, vistavision)

We celebrated the Master of Suspense’s birthday with No. 13, The Birds (1963, Alfred Hitchcock). It took me at least five days to realize that Carrie’s guess of The Bords was a typo, and not some movie I’d never heard of.
