49 free 2010s Movie trivia questions with answers. The 2010s were the decade Marvel took over the box office, Disney bought everything, and the Oscars gave Best Picture to a horror-adjacent thriller, a silent-mute fish romance and a Korean-language film. This quiz covers the blockbusters and the prestige pictures side by side: Inception and Interstellar, The Avengers and Endgame, Frozen and Toy Story 3, Skyfall, The Hunger Games, Fury Road, Get Out, Whiplash, La La Land, Moonlight, Black Panther, Joker and Parasite. The easy questions ask what The Social Network is about and which film features Elsa of Arendelle. The hard ones want the physicist behind Interstellar, the fairy tale that inspired Frozen, which Best Picture winner took only one other Oscar, and how many f-words are in The Wolf of Wall Street. Ideal for movie nights and pub quizzes with a millennial crowd. Every answer was checked against Wikipedia's article on each film, and each question carries the sentence that backs it up.
