It’s the end of another long week and from the moment you clicked onto our website on a Friday, we knew you were trouble. That’s why we came up with 30 film-related teasers to stall you while we make a break for the window. There’s quite a range of films this week, but to quote an often misheard lyric, it doesn’t matter if they’re black and white.
Once you’ve answered all three rounds, you’ll find a link to a separate post with the correct answers at the bottom of this post. Please do get in touch in the comments and let us know how you did (scores out of 30 this week!) and give us any other lovely feedback. Geronimo…
