I did some digging online and managed to scrape together 30 questions divided into six different categories. I should probably clarify: these aren't exactly meant for the hardcore cinephile elite. They're more along the lines of movies you'd catch on local network TV or during a standard run at the local multiplex. But hey, if that's your thing... who's complaining?
Go ahead, fire away. I'll get back to you tomorrow.

Baby wants to get lucky!
Movie 2. - And this... The Death of a Salesman...
- It's The Death of a Salesman.
- It's Duck Productions !
Funny How? You tell me! Are you implying I'm some kind of clown? Am I just here to fuckin' amuse you? What exactly do you mean by "funny"? Funny how? Seriously, WHAT THE FUCK IS SO FUNNY ABOUT ME?
Goodfellas.
Of course I'm respectable. I'm just old. Politicians, prostitutes, and ugly buildings—they all eventually become respectable if they manage to stick around long enough.
II. Genres and Subgenres
Think about those classic Hollywood comedies from the 30s and 40s—the ones by Howard Hawks or Frank Capra. They’re defined by that playful wit, eccentric characters, and razor-sharp dialogue. Isn't there something special about that style?
What exactly is Film Noir? It’s a term coined by French critics to describe those moody, pessimistic flicks. We're talking about those gritty crime stories from the 40s and 50s that dive deep into the dark criminal underworld—where the protagonists are usually just cynical loners who have long since lost all illusions.
A common nickname for Westerns, especially those low-budget B-movies.
Blaxploitation films from the 70s—think Yaphet Kotto or Pam Grier—specifically made for Black audiences.
Crime, action, and everything in between—specifically those movies where you get two leads paired up as partners with totally clashing personalities, often crossing racial lines.
III. Directors and "their" actors. Next to the director's name, you should list the actor they collaborate with most frequently—or vice versa. Except for one specific question.
Martin Scorsese
Robert De Niro and Jack Lemmon
John Carpenter and Kurt Russell.
Max von Sydow.
Clint Eastwood dedicated his "Unforgiven" simply to "Sergio Leone and Don Siegel." Which two directors was he actually referring to?
The Elmore Leonard Connection. Movies based on the master's work. Low-life. I'm ready. Send over the text you want me to work on.
Quentin Tarantino's latest movie, based on Elmore Leonard's novel "Rum Punch."
Steven Soderbergh’s 1998 movie explores that intense connection between an FBI agent and a bank robber, based on the novel by E. L.
Barry Sonnenfeld's black comedy about a small-time crook and debt collector who gets hooked on working in the film industry...
A classic Delmer Daves western about a farmer (Van Heflin) who has to hold onto a captured outlaw (Glenn Ford) until the train arrives.
A political thriller from '84 where two American officials (Robert Mitchum and Robert Hudson) try to mediate the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, based on Elmore Leonard's novel "Pick-up".
Ambassador. No diesel.
That was the first movie where a famous actress appeared nude. Even one American actor did the same.
Stanley Kubrick’s sci-fi dystopia originally carried an X-rating. After some heavy editing at the cutting room table, it finally hit theaters with an R rating.
Who was the Dutch actress who pulled off the first explicit hardcore scene—specifically fellatio—in a mainstream movie?
In "The Mambo Kings," she plays the beautiful Dolores, the one the Castillo brothers fall head over heels for.
The first adult film ever released through regular theatrical distribution—it pulled in a staggering $40 million at the box office. Can you believe that? It remains the most profitable adult movie of all time, and its name has become part of our everyday vocabulary.
The first animated movie to ever receive an X-rating.
VI. Miscellaneous
What was the name of that film award established back in 1943 by eight foreign journalists accredited in Hollywood?
Everyone knows about those nine massive letters perched on the Hollywood hills. But did you know there used to be thirteen? Does anyone actually remember what the full name was?
The most screen-tested cinematic character of all time first surfaced back in 1922 in a German film...
What was the name of the English engineer who revolutionized sound recording and reproduction back in 1965?
5. Which actress was actually asked by the U.S. government during WWII to cut her signature long blonde hair because women trying to mimic her style kept getting their hair caught in munitions factory machinery?
6. In 1992, a remake of the 1945 romantic comedy “Christmas in Connecticut” was filmed. Which famous actor took the director's chair for this version?
Oops, one too many...
