Trivia Game: Guess the Movie?!

Movies are a great way to unwind after a long week of work/school. Our lives are filled with essential activities we need to complete and it's nice to take a break and do something that allows us to temporarily escape reality. Movies can be found and watched in cozy places like home, the library and the cinemas and can be enjoyed with friends, family and/or by yourselves. There are movies for everyone to enjoy.

Watching movies has been one of the most popular pastimes throughout history. It's also been quite a prominent hobby during the COVID-19 era, as many people stayed home and had easy access to platforms like Netflix, Crave, Apple TV and YouTube.

For this pop-culture and entertainment themed trivia game, I'll be naming six films from the 70's-2010's. You'll need access to an electronic device of your choice and a pen/paper to record your answers. Grab some popcorn/drinks, sit back and enjoy the game!
