Movies are the most common form of entertainment people consume nowadays. Sure, the actual movie theaters may not be doing as well as they once were, but they’re competing against the streaming services that carry the very same videos that once graced their screens. We see our own lives reflected in the characters on the screen before us, or else get to escape the drudgery of daily life, being transported to another place or time, won over by high stakes struggles or beautiful sets or a compelling love story.
CGI special effects can be as impressive as Renaissance paintings and yet are wide-reaching as they wow audiences of every background imaginable. Movies are magic. And so too is love. So we ask this: choose one movie to watch for the rest of this lifetime, and based on the answer to get one celebrity husband for the rest of this lifetime. Between these fifty questions, there are fifty possible ways to pick a good answer, but as the results add up, only then it will it be clear which celebrity husband is right. There are no wrong answers. Just tell us what movies are most appealing to get the celebrity match of a lifetime!

Name the best historical romance.
Historical romances are a mixture of two major genres of storytelling. While historical narratives are set during a specific time and place, love is a timeless quality.

Christmas. It is the holiday so big it eats other holidays. Seriously, we’ve all seen the mid-October decorations and know SOMEONE who takes X-Mas photos in July.

Many of the best comedies demonstrate all the sophistication of a juicy fart. What makes these movies work is their characters—characters who are compelling, driven, and possessed of an IQ only rivaled by ripe avocadoes.

Pick a dumb comedy which is so stupid it can’t help but stick in the brain long after being watched.
Pick the best gothic movie to watch on a dark evening.
Gothic tales haunt the dark recesses of the imagination, dredging up Victorian ghosts and succubi who lust for people in all the wrong ways.

Which gothic masterpiece can be rewatched night after night?
Name the best martial arts movie from the list below.
Pow! Bam! Whoom! Martial arts movies strike at our urge to be thrilled by feats of physical prowess.

Which animated superhero film always proves triumphant?
Superhero tales are the modern mythology, and in the tradition of myths, these tales are frequently first given to children. These animated movies are all technically children’s films, but each of them deals with adult themes and incredibly complex issues.

Name the best animated superhero film.
Pick a school movie that imparted a powerful lesson.
School is a place of learning, and as such, movies about being in school also teach important lessons. Some of these lessons may be those learned by the students in the classroom, but the important lessons are the ones people go to the movies to see because they can’t get them sitting in front of a blackboard while being lectured. Which of these school movies taught the most powerful lessons?
What English period piece is a crowning achievement?
There are as many historical dramas as there are historical eras to study—or there would be, if the folks writing them studied cultures widely rather than focusing on just a handful.

What’s the best boxing movie to ever hit home with its emotional beats and deliver a strong story that never gets old?
Pick the best historical drama.
Historical dramas mix the tensions of a specific time and place with those endemic to the human condition.

Pick the most moving of these historic dramas.
Which historical epic is a timeless classic?
Epic! The word speaks for itself. Epics are larger than life. Larger even than Hollywood special effects budgets—though not so large as to stop Hollywood from spending billions on special effects to make these movies. Battles raged, empires rose and fell, wrongs were avenged, and schemes were hatched in these over-the-top opuses. Which historical epic is the most timeless of these cinematic masterpieces?
What magical movie is always enchanting?

Name the movie which best showcases the extremes of life in New York?
Some real places have mythologies all their own. New York is one such city with its own mythology, as ingrained in the public consciousness as London or Rome.

Which of these movies best shows off the city of New York as it has come to be understood in cinema?
Pick the most explosively intense war film.
War is an infernally torturous experience. For all that movies love to glorify the horrors of war, these films all show the gritty realism and soul-rending costs that accompany the feats of glory (while also exposing the realities of hollow victories and corrupt machinations we have mistaken for glory). These are war films that see no reason to lie about their subject matter. Which is the most intense of these movies?
Which vampire movie achieved immortality?
Vampire are a staple of films that don’t seem to get the credit they used to. For a while, these were the classic archetypal villains that sank their teeth into the pulse of the times. Then they got a bit too popular, and Hollywood execs ruined a good thing by overdoing it. But nothing can ruin these amazing vampire classics. Which nosferatu movie is the most likely to last for eternity?
Of these edgy films, name the one that pushed boundaries to perfection.
Some films reinforce the status quo. Others push a new agenda. But these movies did much more, transgressing what one is allowed to do in film (or at least, doing so at the time of their release). Of course, taboos and societal norms change with time. Which of these controversial classics achieved perfection with its defiance of social conventions?
Name the surreal awkward comedy that one can’t live without.
Some comedies work because they are objectively funny. Others are surprising.

Which of these bizarre comedies is one that is essential to a happy life?
Choose the most compelling NON-superhero comic book movie.
Comic books have become a source of inspiration for movie makers in recent years. While superhero films get all the credit, there are actually lots of films of other genres also made from comics.

Choose the comic movie that most was most moving?
Which Asian historical film is a timeless tale?
Amidst the many amazing films to come out of the various Asian movie industries, it seems to be historical films that have managed to consistently capture the epic scale of action and larger than life events which excite audiences. Sword swinging action and martial arts brawls combine with the turning points of history in these masterpieces. Tell us which is powerful enough to affect people the world over?
Which buddy comedy brought the most laughs?
While we use terms like “buddy comedies,” these are essentially just bromantic comedies (and let’s face it, while it’s not universal, the majority of them are about friendships between guys). From road trips to cop stories to workplace movies, these are emotional and hilarious films that are often full of personal moments and deep truths. What buddy comedy was the funniest?
Pick the space opera that has earned its place among the stars.
Space operas are the ultimate cosmic sci-fi epics. These stories of high adventure and daring intrigue among the stars and outer worlds features over-the-top Wagnerian exploits which captivate the imagination.

Pick the best of these space operas.
What’s the superset most heroic Marvel movie?
Marvel movies have overtaken popular culture like an invasion of Skrulls, infiltrating every corner of the globe.

Which MCU movie is the most heroically super of the lot?
Pick the childhood movie that never gets old.
As kids, we tend to find a few movies we fall in love with and end up watching the same ones over and over again.

Which Oscar-winner for Best Picture was the most deserving?
The Academy Awards separate the great movies from those that a handful of Hollywood critics consider really really great, the best of the best, as it were—signified by a little gold statue of a guy called Oscar. These four films have all won the Academy Award for Best Picture. Which was the most deserving?
