From time to time, we like to try something a little different here at HeyUGuys, and having spent more time than I’m sure I’d like to admit on sites like Sporcle, who have an excellent variety of user-made quizzes on movies and much, much more, I thought I’d give it a shot myself and see if I could successfully design my own film-related crossword.

After finding the right software to do it – much thanks to Across Lite for the interactive system below – all that was left to do was come up with a set of answers that would fit with each other, and then word the clues.

For this first attempt, I’ve tried to keep things fairly straightforward – to make things a little easier for me, but hopefully still a little stretching for you – and have set ‘Films of 2012’ as the theme.

So all of the answers below will somehow be related to a film that has been or will be released this year (with one film being a slight exception, in that it was released in the US this year, but was released in 2011 in the UK, and a handful of countries in 2010).

Without further ado, I wish you good luck! Drop us your thoughts in the comments below, and let us know if you’d like to see more of these in the future, and we’ll try our best to oblige.
