I was expecting my third child when you were born, but you scored better than I did. I've never seen Halloween or A Clockwork Orange, and I knew Apollo Creed but just couldn't quite pull the name from the cobwebs in time.

it feels wrong to know that you were born in 1979 and thus are 47 and not 21

Surprised to see the Bee Gees as the highest guessed answer. Figured it'd be Grease which I totally drew a blank on. D:

Great quiz, but i tried so many different versions of "Oompa Loompa" and never got one that would take, can you make it accept umpa lumpa as well?

For the Clockwork Orange question, all I could think of is the "Singin' in the Rain" scene...

What leads 82% of people to know the Bee Gees/Saturday Night Fever?

Biased sample?

I know of the Bee Gees, but never thought they were really.. anything beyond a pop fad that deserved to be remembered. I wouldn't have though either SNF or the Bee Gees would be worth remembering. All I'm familiar with is Travolta.

Maybe the movie famously uses the song "Staying Alive", and people know the artist, so guess it.

I though disco music rightfully deserved to be forgotten.

There are many millions of people who would disagree with you. If you believe that others should only know the stuff you know, you are destined for disappointment. Currently, 81% are getting it right - you are part of a small minority. I hope that doesn't upset you too much.

In Monty Python's The Life of Brian, Brian is mistaken for the Messiah, not necessarily Jesus. Jesus was born the same night at Brian, a couple of creches down, and when the wise men caught their mistake, they took their gifts back and hurried over.

Could not remember Moonraker. It was not that good of a movie. Good quiz though.
