Film Quiz Friday | Disco 2000

Let’s all meet up in the year 2000 – this week’s film quiz covers movies that have their 25th anniversaries this year.

---

The sixth Final Destination film Bloodlines arrives in cinemas next Wednesday, not long after the original’s 25th anniversary, so this week’s quiz is a little nostalgic. As discussed in a previous quiz, 1999 is one of the great American movie years, but now it’s time for a bit of turn-of-the-century trivia, covering movies from the year after. And like at any respectable pub quiz, anyone who says “but I wasn’t born then” is barred, alright???

Once you’ve completed this week’s film quiz, you’ll find a link to a separate post with the correct answers at the bottom of this post. As always, this is 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. You can even bring your baby! Oooooooh ooh-ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh…
