FG6 lissner got right FG8 and 11 Protesilaus got right FG 2, 10 and 12 Grief got right. FG 5 is not Toy Soldiers So, these are the ones no one has gotten yet… I think. FG-13: Everything I need to know about lawnmowers I learned from Timothy Balme. FG-15: Everything I need to know about falling out of boats I learned from Sam Raimi. Hints: FG 15: Sam Raimi is an actor in this, not the director. FG 13: The director moved on to hobbits. IL-34: Donny Darko (Patrick Swayze/prisoner of fear) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/test-your-movie-knowledge-part-vii/201661.md?page=8) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/test-your-movie-knowledge-part-vii/201661.md?page=10)
