Albino Rover Posted March 26, 2016 Author Share Posted March 26, 2016 Round 18: 4-3-2-1 A fairly straightforward round this week but the difficulty notch being turned up slightly as we slowly approach the run in. As is often the case I’m looking for you to give me the titles of 10 films, with a point available for each one, but in a twist of events this week’s 10 answers fit into 4 questions. Here they are: The 4 films for which Katharine Hepburn won the Oscar for Best Actress. The 3 feature films in which James Dean made credited appearances. The 2 films starring Laurence Olivier which won the Oscar for Best Picture. The 1 and only feature film directed by Bill Murray. Send your answers to me by midnight on Friday.
