One Day Quiz – guessing closed

How much can you accomplish in one day?  Twenty-four hours goes by pretty quick, but these books and movies seem to have a way to slow down time.  The photos are all of movies, just tell me which one.

You have until noon Saturday to submit your answers as a comment.  Comment will be hidden until I post the answers.  No Googling, but feel free to use anything on hand – like an in-class quiz :)  

This round will last til the end of March.  The person with the most points will win a B&N gift card (total $ based on # of total participants, so please play) and a randomly selected participant will win a fun prize from me.

Have fun and Good Luck!
