Geocache Description:


The coordinates listed above are not the real coordinates!

This is #13 in a series honoring and celebrating movies, both good and bad

One of my favorite movies of all time! Honestly, this movie really needs no introduction so on to the cache challenge. Since I have just about every line memorized, I put together a series of facts about the movie. Answer the questions below to obtain the real coordinates. Some of the answers may be found by searching the internet, others you might just have to watch the movie. Above all, read carefully. Also, please be mindful of muggles at the final, especially on weekends.
