Do you really have what it takes to claim the title of cinephile?

Yes, we all have heard the big directors’ names like Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, Nora Ephron, and Greta Gerwig, but do we really know which movies they specifically directed? We have to admit that sometimes we mix them up. To claim the title of a real cinephile, having watched movies may not always be enough—one would also have to know the directors of the movies. Whether you are a confident cinephile here to ace the trivia quiz or a movie lover who knows big directors’ names here to make a few lucky guesses, we are sure you’ll learn something new in this quiz! If you think this quiz does not include all the big directors, that is because there might be a Part II coming! 😏

    Some of them were easy, some of them I've never heard of. Some of them have the answer right there on the movie poster.

    Technically, the Matrix was directed by the Wachowski brothers. They became sisters after.

    I'm all for including more women on lists like this, but could we raise the bar a little higher than Nancy Meyers and Nora Ephron? How about directors with a unique voice and exceptional talent, like Lynne Ramsay, Jane Campion, Kelly Reichardt, Miranda July, or Chloé Zhao? I also wouldn’t mind exploring actual cinephile territory by highlighting non-English-speaking artists such as Věra Chytilová, Márta Mészáros, or Lucrecia Martel. Come on, BP, try harder — especially if you’re aiming for women’s empowerment.

    Her movies aren’t my cup of tea, but Nora Ephron had an exceptional talent.

    19/20 I missed “You’ve Got Mail”. I’m heartbroken.

    15/20. It seemed like I lost every coin flip. The ones I wasn't sure about, I was at least able to narrow it down to 2 names and guessed wrong every time. The 15 i got right I knew immediately.

    18/20 surprising as I never pay attention to who directed films.
