As someone who created a Letterboxd themed quiz as one of my first quizzes, I was happy to find such a well made quiz regarding this subject. Personally I could use a bit more time and there is a small typo in Jonathan Demme's name.

it's "Where Is the Friend's House?" not "Where Is My Friend's House"

The Two Towers was also not accepted after I typed in LOTR, even though the other two was accepted

Two mistakes prevented me from getting movies I knew were in there:

- There's only one L in "Marcel" (Marcel the Shell with Shoes On)

- It's "Interstella 55555", not "Interstellar 55555"

Also, why does "Lord of the Rings" give me Return of the King but not Two Towers, even though it's in there too ?
