Now available: '101 Classic Movie Trivia Questions' book


You may love classic movies, but how much do you really know?

This collection of 101 trivia questions (and answers!) puts your knowledge to the test. 

Who dated who in Old Hollywood? What movies set records at awards shows and at the box office? Who made silver screen history?

From Charlie Chaplin to “Citizen Kane,” from sci-fi firsts to iconic final films, from “The Jazz Singer” to “The Quiet Man” – the questions pull from a range of classic movie history, from easy tidbits about the most famous films to more deep dives into hidden gems that only true classic connoisseurs may know. 

Generally, the questions span movies and stars from early cinema to the 1960s, with emphasis on the Golden Age of Hollywood (roughly the 1930s and 1940s). 

The topics covered include:

  • Historic firsts
  • Award winners
  • Early days of cinema
  • Famous quotes
  • Scandals
  • Romantic entanglements in real Hollywood
  • And much more!
