Film Quiz Friday: Twice Upon A Time

What connects a Tom Cruise fantasy film and a Tom Hardy gangster movie? Well, it’s this week’s film quiz, with 30 new questions.

At the time of writing, two very different films have just landed in UK cinemas with very similar titles. You probably don’t want to get In The Earth and In The Heights mixed up if you’re only interested in seeing one of those films this weekend, but what happens when very different films have the exact same title? There’s a whole round on that very subject in this week’s selection of 30 movie trivia questions.

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. As always, this is just for fun, but please let us know how you did in the comments (scores out of 30 this week!) and give us any other lovely feedback. If you don’t enjoy the quiz then, er… you’re thinking of the other Film Quiz Friday, so take it up with them.
