Hollywood Remakes - Stolen Quiz #1

I really did have some quizzes ready to go, unfortunately I didn't actually write anything down; choosing instead to keep all the info in the ol' noggin. That never works. So instead of doing something original I'll steal a quiz I found online. Hopefully people haven't done it already. If you have, just know that my score was probably better than yours.

Hollywood Remakes of Foreign Films

1. Boudu Sauve des Eaux
2. Cousin, Cousine
3. Il Mare
4. Infernal Affairs
5. La Cage aux Folles
6. La Femme Infidele
7. La Jetee
8. La Totale
9. Le Retour de Martin Guerre
10. Nikita
11. Open Your Eyes (Abre los Ojos)
12. Profumo Di Donna
13. Ringu
14. Seven Samurai
15. Wings of Desire
16. Yojimbo

Wow, this is definitely the hardest movie quiz I've ever taken...

4. The Departed
6. Unfaithful?
10. Point of No Return
13. The Ring
14. Is this one a trick? I think I saw somewhere that The Seven Samurai is being remade by the Weinsteins?

Wow, I looked all these up... I've seen almost all of 'em and had no idea they were remakes. Well played, sir.

Well there is a much more positive to response to quizzes than any other post, so it seems logical that we should just go with it...I considered moving my quiz to my blog, but I doubt anyone will go to it and take it...

Answers:
1. Down and Out in Beverly Hills
2. Cousins
3. The Lake House
4. The Departed
5. The Birdcage
6. Unfaithful
7. 12 Monkeys
8. True Lies
9. Sommersby
10. Point of No Return
11. Vanilla Sky
12. Scent of a Woman
13. The Ring
14. The Magnificent 7

The Croyle Bros. tied with 4 points each. When I originally took this I knew 4, 10, 11, 13, 14, and 16, so I'm still the man.
