Bing Hollywood Movies Quiz – Famous Scenes and Film Facts
Hollywood has produced many of the world's most famous films. Some scenes are so well known that people quote them without having seen the movie, but the details behind them are often surprising.
Classic Hollywood gave us Casablanca, The Wizard of Oz and Citizen Kane, directed by a 25-year-old Orson Welles. Musicals like Singin' in the Rain created unforgettable moments, and Alfred Hitchcock built a career on suspense with Psycho and Vertigo.
Later decades brought new kinds of hits. The Godfather defined the gangster film, Jaws made the summer blockbuster thanks partly to a mechanical shark that kept breaking down, and Back to the Future sent a DeLorean through time at 88 miles per hour.
Titanic broke records in 1997 with 11 Oscars and huge box office earnings. Even the Hollywood Sign has a story: it once read Hollywoodland and began as a real estate advertisement.
