SCREEN TEST: A CALENDAR OF QUOTES
As many of us prepare to hang our 2013 AFI Membership Calendar, featuring beautiful black and white images of classic American films, we thought we’d celebrate with this month’s Screen Test. Each famous line of dialogue presented in scrambled order in two rows across the bottom of the page was spoken (or appeared as a title card) in the movie depicted at the top. Drag each movie's image into the quote from that film, then click on “submit” to see how well you remember those glorious films of years gone by.

THE GENERAL is based on an event in the American Civil War that happened in the spring of 1862. A spy named James J. Andrews, accompanied by Union soldiers, penetrated Confederate lines in Tennessee, stole a train in Marietta, Georgia, and drove it North, intending to destroy track and bridges crucial to the Southern cause. Andrews was captured outside of Chatanooga because of the persistence of the train’s Confederate conductor, William Fuller, who pursued the train on foot, by handcar and train.
