Sometimes a question is asked in the lyrics of a song. I'll give you the question, and you tell me which musician or group "asked" that question in a song. All songs here received radio play in the 60's, 70's, and 80's.
In the vein of my 'Middle Names Of Movie Characters' quiz, here's one devoted to your knowledge of the middle names and initials of famous TV show characters. Have at it!
I loved "Weird Al" Yankovic while growing up, and listening to his older music still makes me smile. This quiz covers his first seven albums -- "Weird Al Yankovic" (1983) through "Off the Deep End" (1992).
This groundbreaking animated series from the 1978-79 season is finally available on DVD, so here are some questions about the enjoyable (if cheesy) adventures of the Justice League of America.
Yes, now that I own the Criterion DVD of "Chasing Amy," I've come up with even *more* questions about the only Kevin Smith movie I admit to liking unapologetically. Knowledge about DVD commentary and cut scenes required, so this is for experts.
A quiz about the Bravo interview series hosted by the cloying, obsequious, failed actor I love to hate, James Lipton. If you can stomach Lipton, the show is often quite fascinating. This quiz covers ONLY episodes that have aired as of October 2001.
Yet another quiz asking you to identify pre-1990 songs -- all of which received decent radio play -- by the questions posed in their lyrics. Old school fans, have at it! (50 Cent fans, go away.)
Surpisingly, this is my first movie quote quiz for this site. This one covers movies released between 1980 and 1989, inclusive. More to follow, if response is favorable. Good luck!
One of the most honored motion pictures in the history of the medium, "Citizen Kane" is certainly on my list of the greatest films ever made. How much do you know about its production?
I've been on an 80s movie kick with my quizzes lately, so here's one on a "guilty pleasure" flick that's always fun to watch (and ridicule): 1985's "Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins" (and, thankfully, ends).
Once upon a time, Steve Martin wrote a short story called "Shopgirl." Years later, he was able to adapt that story into a 2005 movie starring Claire Danes, Jason Schwartzman, and Steve himself.
From the makers of "Airplane!" and the "Naked Gun" films comes this overlooked gem from 1984, a spoof of spy films and Elvis movies that also happens to be Val Kilmer's first starring role. One of the funniest movies I've ever seen!
I was surprised to see that there are no quizzes on this fine film, so here you go: questions about the 1991 film written by Richard LaGravense and directed by Terry Gilliam.
I give you a Sting lyric, and you tell me which song it's from. I'll limit this quiz to Sting's solo stuff only -- a Police quiz will probably follow, if anyone's interested.
Yet another quiz about one of my favorite movies. Most of the information discussed here can be found in the documentary "Back to 'Somewhere in Time'" on the "SIT" DVD.
Sometimes characters in movies refer to movies that actually exist. See if you can figure out which movies are being referenced by these (usually) fictional people.
This is my 100th quiz for Funtrivia, so I decided to celebrate it with some questions about the 100th issues of certain comic books. Crack open those long boxes and have at it!
I tell you the name of the character and the movie, and you give me that character's middle name or initial. There's some mildly obscure stuff in here, but hey, we're all used to that by now. Enjoy!
How well do you remember the video games (both real and fictional) that have appeared in the movies? Ask the change guy for some quarters and saddle up! (Special thanks to GodofThunder74 for assisting me with this quiz.)
I'll give you a lyric from a Joe Jackson song, and you pick which song it's from. The quiz spans everything from Joe's first album ('Look Sharp!') to 'Laughter and Lust.'
A sequel of sorts to my 'TV Shows That Only Exist In Movies' quiz, this one's all about books that are mentioned (and usually seen) in movies, but don't actually exist. Some tough ones here, so good luck!
