We’re not making a thing of doing tagline quizzes on bank holiday weekends, but four months (and ten years?) on from our 1980s edition, here we are in the 1990s! The decade, not the Scottish indie band. On either side of this tagline sandwich, the usual selection of movie trivia morsels to see you through the long weekend.
Once you’ve finished 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 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. Please note I was dreaming when I wrote this, so sue me if I go too fast…
