Film Quizzes: Great Foreign Films

I wasn’t planning on doing another film quiz soon after my Magic post, but in the comments section from my Teachers quiz an idea for foreign films was suggested by Leí, whose blog I discovered recently. While most of my quizzes focus on Hollywood, I have always had a fondness for films from different cultures, and even did a Blogathon entitled Foreign Favourites. Below are 15 stills from successful films made in different languages and cultures. How many can you work out? There are countless more I could have included, so feel free to mention any you’re especially fond of.

 Film 1  (1940s)

 Film 2  (1950s)

 Film 3  (1960s)

Film 4  (1980s)

 Film 5  (1980s)

 Film 6

 Film 7  (1980s)

 Film 8  (1990s)

 Film 9  (1990s)

 Film 10  (1990s)

 Film 11  (2000s)

 Film 12  (2000s)

 Film 13  (2000s)

 Film 14  (2000s)

 Film 15  (2000s)

Film Quiz: Loners

I haven’t done a film quiz for a long time. After such a long gap there were plenty of categoeis I could have chosen, but as my favourite film of the past few years was Nightcrawler (you can read my review here), it seemed right to chose loners as the theme. There are actually more on screen than you might imagine. Some are harmless, some deadly. Some are charming, some tortured. Please feel free to let me know how you do, if you have any favourites or even if there are any you think could have been added to the list.

 1. (1930s)

 2. (1950s)

 3. (1960s)

 4. (1960s)
