For more years than I care to remember, I have attempted Chandler Swain’s notoriously difficult 25-question film quiz. His challenges are themed, and incredibly hard. They have given me genuine headaches in the past, and the often dark stills he uses have made my eyes ache too.
Until today, I tried my best. But I think my previous best score was 22/25. And that was on a ‘good day’.
Imagine my delight, to receive this notification today, after so many years.
Yes! I got 25/25, for the first time ever!
Strange how something so apparently insignificant can make a wet Friday come alive!
If you feel up to the challenge, or just want to read about films that he has seen, so you don’t have to watch them, then visit his unparalleled blog via this link.
Be prepared to be entertained!
(I won’t be adding his ‘award’ to this blog. I am far too self-effacing for that)

I love the feeling of accomplishment when completing it.
