Directors & Their Movies
Four legendary filmmakers, sixteen unforgettable movies. You know the stars and the famous scenes, but do you know who was calling "action" behind the camera?
About this quiz
Some directors leave fingerprints all over their work. A sweeping score and a sense of wonder, a story that bends time, a burst of sharp dialogue before the violence, or a voiceover walking you through a life of crime. This quiz brings together four of the most celebrated filmmakers of the last fifty years, Steven Spielberg, Christopher Nolan, Quentin Tarantino and Martin Scorsese, with four films from each.
The picks span from the 1970s to the 2020s and cover blockbusters, war epics, thrillers, westerns and gangster films. Some of these directors share favorite actors and genres, so a famous face or a crime story won't settle it on its own. Every film was directed solely by the director it belongs to, and the release year is shown when you check your answers.
This is a quadrants quiz with one group per director and four movies in each. You have three minutes. Thinking about each director's style, the decade the film came out and the stars they like to work with is the best way to sort them.
