Film Quiz Friday: Ask The Audience!

Can you answer a question with a question? You can with this week’s Friday film quiz, which covers quizzical movie titles and some other trivial goodness.

We’re not doing the obligatory Christopher Nolan round until next week, but in an unintended tribute to this week’s 10^th anniversary release of Inception, (orchestral honk!) today’s second round has some questions within questions. On the other hand, if you don’t fancy the cinema this weekend and you’re staying at home, please enjoy this latest batch of 30 film-related questions.

As always, this is all just for fun, and once you’ve completed all three rounds, you’ll find a link to a separate post with the correct answers at the bottom of this post. Please do get in touch in the comments and let us know how you did (scores out of 30 this week!) and give us any other lovely feedback. Let’s do this…
