How this list was compiled: Written for this site; nothing was copied from another list. Questions and wrong choices are our own. Each explanation restates, in our own sentences, a fact from the English Wikipedia article named and linked beside the question (https://en.wikipedia.org, text under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 license), and the passage that states each fact was found in that article on October 16, 2026 before the question was kept. 70 articles are linked, one to a question, each the article on the film itself. The pack holds films released from 1990 to 1999, two years to a round, fourteen films to a round, and no more than one film from any series. A film's title stands only as an answer, a choice or in the reason for an answer; two questions ask for the book or play a film was made from, and one asks what a remake changed. People are named only with credits, awards and dates of record. The films were chosen so that every question can be read aloud at a family table, so some well-known films of the decade made for adults are not here. A sentence that carries a citation-needed tag in its article was not used. Nothing that a new release or a new season changes is asked: no running total and no record that still stands open. Levels are our estimate: easy is fair for any table, medium suits a regular filmgoer, hard will stump most tables. Each question also carries the date its article was read. Licence: own work

Give each table the round of its own school years and keep the tally on paper.
Before a round, each team writes down one film it expects to hear. A right guess earns a bonus point.
