This year has not been great for film exhibition, but that’s not to say we haven’t still had great movies to enjoy. It’s taken some adjustments and while we’re looking forward to a time when it’s safe for everyone to go back to the cinema, we can still look back fondly at some of the films 2020 had to offer.
Film Quiz Friday will return in 2021, but given how your Fridays are likely to be occupied for the rest of December, we’ve put together this bonus mid-week movie quiz covering the year in film. As ever, this is all just for fun and we hope you enjoy this ramble through 2020 and that 2021 will be better for film fans all round.
Once you’ve completed all 20 questions and had a bash at the bonus round, you’ll find a link to a separate post with the correct answers at the bottom of this page. Please do get in touch in the comments and let us know how you did (scores out of 30, as usual!) and give us any other lovely feedback. Let’s get cracking…

BONUS ROUND – The Top Five
To see us out, here’s a bonus round in a slightly new format, with 10 bonus points potentially up for grabs…
Can you name any five of the top ten highest-grossing 2020 releases at the UK cinema box office this year? Please note, these are all films released in the UK from 1st January 2020 onwards, so we’re not counting late-2019 releases like Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker, Little Women, or Cats.
You can pick up to five films and have a point for each correct answer that appears in the top ten, including numbers 6 through 10, and that’ll get you a maximum of 5 points. However, if your five answers match the top five films, in any order, treat yourself to an additional 5 bonus points as well. You’ll find out how many points you’ve got by clicking through to the answers below…
