About this quiz

A real film trivia quiz tests range, not just recall — you have to know your classics, your modern auteurs, your Oscars history, and a handful of plot details. This eight-question quiz spans genres and decades. We've avoided the absolute basics (no 'who directed Titanic') and the lore-deep obscurities. Score above 80% and you've earned the right to be insufferable at parties.

What you'll discover

  • 01

    Cinephile

    You know your Kubricks from your Kurosawas. You can spot a Wes Anderson framing from across the room, you've probably defended a controversial Best Picture winner online at least once, and you've read a Sight & Sound list with strong opinions ready. Respect.

  • 02

    Engaged Viewer

    You watch widely, you read the occasional review, and you'd survive most pub quizzes without embarrassment. The deeper director and Oscars trivia catches you out, but you know your major films, most of your iconic quotes, and you'd never confuse Coen Brothers with Coppola.

  • 03

    Casual Watcher

    You watch movies but they don't stick in detail — and that's a fine relationship to have with cinema, just not a competitive one. Try a Kubrick or Coen Brothers marathon, watch one classic per month for a year, and come back when you can confidently name three films from each director.
