Film Quiz Friday: What’s In The Box???

There’s more than just Se7en questions in this week’s David Fincher-themed film quiz – we’ve got 30 whole brainteasers about all kinds of movies.

David Fincher once said, “I don’t know how much movies should entertain. To me I’m always interested in movies that scar.” We’re more about quizzes that entertain, thought it sounds like last week’s musicals quiz might have left a few egos bruised. Here’s hoping you enjoy this week’s which features a themed round about the Man Of A Thousand Takes, and another two rounds on more general movie knowledge.

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. There are no prizes, but 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. Allons-y…
