I got 7/20

In my defence, my copy of Fight Club had Brad Pitt and Norton on the cover

Had no idea half of them were based on books, though. Die Hard??!

This is malignant for diapered cartoon girls crutches as well

Got 10. Never heard of two of them though. Felt stupid about not guessing at least another two of them.

I got Starship Troopers (but it was more of a guess really) - and Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep. I was adamant the first one was The Towering Inferno though.

I thought Die Hard was the Towering Inferno as well. After that it was one of those ones where I was absolutely sure I'd put Die Hard in because it looked so much like that scene on the roof, so I didn't bother typing it so didn't get the point :fp:

Kicked myself with Starship Troopers, mind went completely blank.

DADOES - it had androids and sheep on the cover, so I managed it. I really like that cover.

Managed to get 14 of them after much pondering. Owning a few helped :)

My friend and I got 12/20 between us. The only one I really should have gotten but didn't was One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - my brother studied it in high school and his copy of the book had that exact cover.
