Movies fill our lives with magic, emotions, and culture. Without movies, we wouldn't have hundreds of titles that connect us to the human experience. Instead, we'd be stuck playing poker or knitting. Movies allow us to escape for a few hours, learn something about the world, and learn something about ourselves.
There's a side effect to all this moving learning: we learn the movies, too. Famous movies that everyone has seen get quoted in everyday life. They become part of pop culture. How many times have you heard, "Luke, I am your father?" There are some movie lines that everybody knows. Even if you've never seen the film itself, you know the line.
There are plenty of movie lines like that. In fact, there are enough to fill a quiz. A movie genius will be able to match these classic quotes to their movies. The question is... can you? If you know pop culture, or if you know cinema, you should have no trouble acing this quiz. Be warned: it's not for the lukewarm movie buff. You really do have to be a genius to ace this movie line challenge.
