1/20 People Couldn't Answer These Movie Questions Correctly, Can You?

It’s one thing to experience a movie, but it’s another to remember what happened in it. While the movie’s fresh in your mind, you’ll recall the parts that stuck with you the most and then forget the rest. Unless you see it again, of course. But maybe months or years will go by, and you might have completely forgotten about that movie either because it didn’t leave much of an impact on you personally or the movie just wasn’t good to begin with. Yet we do seem to remember the good movies, the ones from our childhood, or the ones that left the strongest impact in general. As for the specific details, like certain scenes lines or even the identities of the actors who were in the movie, these can vary in terms of memorability.

Typically, the more recognizable the actor the more likely we’ll remember them. Sometimes, though, we may recognize the face or name but not the other way around. As for the unknown actors, we may not recognize them at first but if they become more popular overtime they'll become more recognizable. While a few may know all the intricate details of a movie that may not be necessary to remember, there are some details that most people do and should know about. You’d be a fool to not answer these basic movie questions correctly, so come test your knowledge and see where you stand!
