Have you ever met anyone who would turn down a game of movie trivia? I personally haven’t, and even if these people do exist, I am willing to bet they are extremely rare. We all watch movies, and we all have our favorite ones — and that’s one of the reasons why if you are planning a game night, a movie quiz will be an idea most will support. Entertainment trivia is something we all know at least to some extent, so no one will feel left out during the game.
Depending on your audience, your movie questions can be as easy or as hard as you want. With the variety of genres cinema has to offer, you can also make the game either general knowledge or only about a specific genre. You can even dedicate a game to one single movie. But in this case, easy trivia is not going to cut it; you will have to come up with some difficult questions that test the players’ in-depth knowledge of the film’s smallest details. Do you know movies that all your cinema expert friends love? They can be great for such a “one film quiz” game.
If you are getting ready for a movie quiz game, you will appreciate the movie trivia questions and answers we’ve collected in this article. They include films from different eras and of different genres, so all your players will be able to score for their teams. And don’t forget to share your favorite movies in the comments!
