In this week’s film quiz, we’re gonna party like it’s 1999 again, with 30 more movie-related questions for your enjoyment.
1999 was a momentous year in movies – Stanley Kubrick dies, Mikey Madison is born, and in cinemas, it’s one of those all-time great years for American movies. Some of those landmark movies have already returned to cinemas in 2024 for their 25th-anniversary, and big upcoming 1999 re-releases range from Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace to The Matrix, but before that, that year is this week’s specialist subject.
Once you’ve completed all three rounds, you’ll find a link to a separate post with the correct answers at the bottom of this post. As always, this is all just for fun, but please let us know how you did in the comments (scores out of 30 this week!) and give us any other lovely feedback. Good luck and let’s all meet up in the year 2000…
