Let’s all meet up in the year 2000 – this week’s film quiz covers movies that have their 25th anniversaries this year. The sixth Final Destination film Bloodlines arrives in cinemas next Wednesday, not long after the original’s 25th anniversary, so this week’s quiz is a little nostalgic. As discussed in a previous quiz, 1999 is one of the great American movie years, but now it’s time for a bit of turn-of-the-century trivia, covering movies from the year after.

In this week’s film quiz, only one name stands out in Marvel’s Thunderbolts – Bob! 30 movie-related questions, coming up…The Marvel Cinematic Universe is now so massive that you don’t need the big title characters to make a team-up movie like Thunderbolts* (their asterisk, not ours). You can have a Black Widow (not that one), the Winter Soldier, Ghost, Taskmaster, U.S. Agent, and a new guy called Bob, played by Lewis Pullman. So, naturally, we’ve gone with a Bob-themed quiz.

This week’s film quiz should last you Until Dawn at least – 30 questions, some of them about movies set over one night. With A Minecraft Movie still on the rampage in cinemas (literally in some cases), April’s other big video-game adaptation is Until Dawn, a horror movie in which staying alive for the night is trickier when the night keeps looping back to the beginning every time they’re killed.

The new Lilo And Stitch and Mission: Impossible films both open on the same weekend. But Tom Cruise has met Stitch at the box office before…One is a chaotic pint-sized fugitive who’s too fast to catch, the other is an alien hiding out on Earth. We’ll let you make your own jokes with that one. Crucially though, Tom Cruise and this particular Disney character have already opened against each other in cinemas once before.

This week’s film quiz takes a leaf out of several different books featured in movies – 30 questions, off you go…What connects this week’s cinema releases, The Amateur, The Return, and the 30th anniversary re-release of Babe? They’re all based on literary sources, much like the second round in this week’s film quiz. However, we’ve gone down the road of books in films rather than books adapted into films, so you may need your reading glasses for this one.

Let’s talk about SIX, baby, let’s talk about two and three, let’s talk about all the maths puns in the film quiz for this week…This week brings several new UK cinema releases but for many, Universal’s event cinema release of SIX: The Musical Live! will be the big draw over Easter. The musical comedy about the wives of King Henry VIII has been one of the big post-lockdown theatrical hits on stage and it’ll probably make a big splash on screen too.

In cinemas this week, Jason Statham is A Working Man. This week’s film quiz covers some other, more specific job titles…“Human traffickers beware”, says the tagline for A Working Man, the latest team-up between Jason Statham and The Beekeeper director David Ayer. While their latest is less specific about what his actual job is, the Stath has had some ambiguous job titles before – beekeeper, mechanic, transporter – and they all somehow involve fighting bastards.

You talkin’ to me? What colour is the boathouse at Hereford? Could you milk me? All Robert De Niro questions, just not in this week’s film quiz…As discussed the other week, you wait ages for a Robert De Niro performance and then two come along at once. Now in UK cinemas, The Alto Knights pits two rival mob bosses (both played by De Niro) against each other, and it’s got us thinking about his other movies, from his dramatic turns to his lighter comedic work.

Is this your first time being quizzed? You’re doing great – this week’s film quiz has some questions about Steven Soderbergh movies. You’re never too far away from the next Steven Soderbergh movie – even retirement didn’t slow him down for long. For this quizmaster at least, that’s no bad thing, especially when he bounces between genres and styles as he does, most recently between January’s supernatural family drama Presence and this week’s new spy thriller Black Bag.
