About This Quiz
Some of the most popular movies in the world have very difficult spellings, from "Thor: Ragnarok" to "Reservoir Dogs" to "The Bridge on the River Kwai." People have been struggling to spell and pronounce some of these movies for decades. While some of the names are foreign, most of them are not, but due to their spelling they seem that way.
Many of us may not have performed well in English class back in high school, but because we have seen and heard of these movies so many times, we should at least be able to spell the titles out. Some of us get tripped up on using "ck" instead of just a "c" or a "k." Sometimes words sound the same but have different meanings and spelling. For example, the words "sail" or "sale," or "there," "their" and "they're" can be very confusing.
How well will you be able to identify some of the most tricky and hard-to-spell movie titles in the history of film? Will you turn out to be a movie spelling bee champion, or will you this quiz leave you feeling like you need to take some English classes? The only way to find out is to take this quiz!
