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)

There are some pretty famous ones I’ve left out, which you’re more than welcome to mention in the comments section. I wanted a wide range  that covered different aspects of the war.

A bonus point if you can guess my favourite among them.

My trip to Rome with Madeleine was so delightful that I was inspired to do two quizzes on Italy’s contribution to cinema, both by talented cast and crew, as well as its picturesque beauty. Will you do better than Part 1?  As always, the stills are in chronological order, with the decade it was released in brackets. I’m always keen to hear how you do. and whether you have a favourite.
