About This Quiz

Those of us who watch lots of movies can tell what movie is about to play way before the first scene even comes on. How? Because of the music. Those of us who aren't that good can probably tell the name of the movie when we see the first scene or character. But that's not the goal of this quiz. We're trying to find the best of the best when it comes to movie buffs. If you think that person is you, let's see if you can guess what will happen in each movie scene by just a single photo. Do you think you can handle it?

Movies are there for entertainment and oftentimes, we, as humans, only watch the movie genres we like. If that person is you then you probably won't get half of our questions right. You see, this particular quiz is for those people whose tastes transcend movie genres- they watch any and every movie, whether it be horror or romance, newly released or black and white. 

So if you can tell us what happened after Ron and Harry entered Mr. Weasley's Ford Anglia or what took place when the bride and her bridesmaids went dress shopping after eating at a dodgy restaurant, this quiz is for you! 

If you really think you've got what it takes to try this movie scene quiz, give it a go! Only the top dogs can ace this one!
