Today I learned that I'm bad at distinguishing 80s films from 90s films

I think a whole lot of people can relate to that. Especially for Groundhog Day for some reason. Who knew?

Mine was Clue. I don't remember it coming out, and I never saw it until the turn of the century, and it just screamed 90s to me.

Yeah, I put Clue because I figured people would think it came out in the early '90s. And looking at the statistics it seems that my scheme worked mwahaha!

"The Mummy", "The Jungle Book", "Little Shop of Horrors" all have multiple versions of that title - to my generation, "The Jungle Book" is a disney animated from the '60s, "The Mummy" a B/W from the '30s, and the origiinal "Little Shop of Horrors" from the '60s. And let's not get into how many versions of "Superman" has been done. This is a very cool quiz, but it would be better to pick movies that have only ONE iteration.

Okay, but no version of The Jungle Book, The Mummy, or Superman came out in the '80s, so no matter what version you think of first they're all wrong answers. And since there's a version of Little Shop of Horrors that is from the '80s (and a much more well-known version than the '60s original at that, no matter your generation), that's very clearly a correct answer.

There were Superman movies in the 80s but all of them were sequels, so the quiz is still correct because the original Superman came out in 1978.

How is this "Sudden" Death, if there's 3 lives.
