Film Quiz Friday: Shark Week!

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water, here are three more rounds of Friday film quizness, including sharks, evil exes, and an unsinkable Molly Brown.

Once again, it’s time for the weekly film quiz they’re calling “a great successor to Bamboozle, which used to be on Teletext” (“they” being high-roller Foximus Prime, who scored a mighty 29 out of 32 in last week’s quiz, and my dad, who I think just misses Teletext). True to form, we’ve come up with 30 more bamboozling movie-related teasers to see you through the weekend.

As always, this is just for fun and there are no prizes for first place – once you’ve completed this week’s quiz, 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. Here goes…
