Trivia is a great way to entertain your friends and family. It is a fun and challenging game that everyone can play at parties. Personally, when I select trivia for this type of event I like to choose fairly general trivia, which will appeal to a wide range of people. Movie trivia is a great choice because everyone has seen a movie or two.
Below I have gathered fifty movie questions that cover everything from the latest blockbusters to some of the better-known classics. You can print these questions out and use them for your next gathering or simply test yourself to see how much you remember about the movies you have seen. Have fun!
