How to play Movie Trivia

Pick a topic (Classic Films, Animation & Family, Blockbusters, Horror Movies, or Awards & Behind the Scenes) or play All topics, then choose a round of 10 or 20 questions.
Each question has four possible answers and exactly one is right. The correct answer turns green, a wrong pick turns red, and a short explanation tells you the story behind it.
A correct answer scores 100 points, and answering several in a row adds a growing streak bonus. Switch on the optional 20-second timer for a speed bonus.
The game remembers which movie questions you have seen on this device and serves new ones first, so you will not get repeats until you have played through the whole topic.
Hosting a party, a class or a family game? Open the Question list for hosts to read the questions aloud, reveal the answers one by one, or print the whole list.

Tips

Watch for years in the question: they rule out options from the wrong era.
Directors leave fingerprints. Suspense means Hitchcock, dinosaurs and sharks mean Spielberg.
The Awards topic is the hardest; warm up with Animation & Family first.
