Listen up, cinephiles! Can you match the image to the film? Here's your chance to prove your movie mastery!
A picture is worth a thousand words, as the old saying goes. In the case of a movie poster, however, it can be worth a whole heck of a lot more than that. The right image can make or break a film's success at the box office. At its most basic, a movie poster functions as an advertisement. The goal is to create something both eyecatching and informative in some way: it must first draw the viewer in and then provide some sense of what the film is about. First impressions matter.
The most successful posters become iconic images, instantly recognizable and forever associated with the film. Think of Matthew Broderick's impish grin on the <i>Ferris Bueller's Day Off</i> poster or the two fingertips — one human and one alien — reaching out to touch each other on the <i>E.T.</i> poster. And the very finest posters of all are true works of art in their own right.
This movie poster quiz takes you down movie memory lane. Have fun!

Fun, a walk through movie memory lane.
I thought it was easy and then it got hard. Good quiz.
it was great because I love Posters
Tell me I need to watch more TV
Got me on a few, but was fun while it lasted
Some of the films never even heard of, also no horror movie fan, so got a bit frustrating. But was fun just the same. Thank you.
95 out of 99 (63 streak) 8 mins
84 out of 99 (53 was my streak)
I clicked the wrong title by accident once. I got 930
78-99 49 longest streak...not bad
Great quiz but definitely didn't know the foreign films. But scored 630
Good quiz but some posters I didn't recognize.score 630
Definitely a few older ones and foreign movies i had to guess at. 91 though, did better than I thought I would
It was easy enough for me until I got to genre's I rarely watch, like comic heroes and foreign films. Some foreign films I knew by reputation, but forgot some clues.
It was too long. 60 questions is a good length in my opinion.
I knew probably 4 or 5 it the wrong answer by mistake .
Waaaaay too long!!! These types of quizzes should not have more than 30 questions - 50 questions at the very most. It took about 15 minutes just to get to question #50. My grandson took over because I was done, over it, and no longer entertained.
Some I knew the answer to but went to fast James bond had Russian building and pick octpussy
Fun!!!
