Famous Movie Quotes Trivia Questions and Answers
The lines that outlived their films, and a few that outlived the people who said them. This topic is unusual in the bank because the quote is almost always the easy part — most people can finish "frankly, my dear" or "you're gonna need a bigger" without thinking — so the questions ask the second thing instead: which character actually said it, which film it is really from, and what the rest of the line is. That is where the misremembering lives, and film quotes are misremembered more reliably than almost anything else in popular culture. The easy tier is the lines everybody can place. The hard tier is the ones everybody can quote and nobody can source, or the ones where the famous version is not quite what was said. A good topic for a mixed table, because quoting films is a thing people do without ever deciding to learn it.
