What is it with classic movies that most people seem to have watched dozens of times (us included), know almost every line, and still find them as exciting as watching for the very first time? No wonder they fall into the iconic movies section! Now, if you’ve also watched your fav classic movies several times, chances are, you’d like to test your knowledge of them by playing a nice little classic movie trivia game, right? Well then, here are our classic movie trivia questions and answers to pick that cinephile brain of yours and test your real knowledge on movies like E.T., Psycho, and Stand By Me. 

If you’re worried that this classic movie quiz will be out of your depth, rest assured that not all of these questions are super hard to crack, and we’ve definitely included only those that refer to movies known by most, leaving the more obscure ones for another time. After all, you might even surprise yourself with the knowledge of some completely random facts on, say, Scarface that will only resurface once you are presented with a movie trivia question on it. The brain works in mysterious ways! And if you’re stuck on a question or two, you can always look for answers right under each submission in the comments field. 

Our classic movie trivia starts in just a couple of scrolls down - ready, steady, go! Be sure to rate the submissions the way you like since now they are a bit jumbled up. After that, share this trivia game with anyone you’d like to play it with (just don’t tell them about the answers in the comments section)!
