And now to the points (due to some very close answers, I’m giving half-points for “almost correct” movie guesses, like guessing the wrong movie in the correct series):

• Suzanne: 13.5 points
• David Norris: 48 points
• Drew: 20.5 points
• Lauryn: 21 points
• Lee McKusick: 9.5 points
• Triton: 15 points

And to nobody’s surprise, David Norris (who seems to have the world’s best brain for movie quotes, characters, and actors) wins by a wide margin.  David, I’m always impressed.  Congratulations to you…I wish I had more to give you, but my amazement will have to do for now. 

Thanks, everyone for playing!  Until next time…
