This 90s movie quotes trivia quiz has 63 free questions with answers, and every one hangs on a line you have probably repeated in real life: 'Hasta la vista, baby', 'You can't handle the truth!', 'There's no crying in baseball!', 'I see dead people', 'Show me the money!' and dozens more from the decade that gave us Tarantino, Pixar and peak Jim Carrey. Most questions give you the quote and ask for the film; the rest ask who said it, so you will need to know your Wooderson from your Doc Holliday and your Agent K from your Agent J. It runs from easy crowd-pleasers (Titanic, Forrest Gump, Toy Story) to genuinely hard pulls (Se7en's closing line, Galaxy Quest's battle cry, the fake gangster movie in Home Alone), so it works for a movie night, a pub quiz round or a solo test. Every quote and attribution has been checked against Wikiquote and the American Film Institute's list of the 100 greatest movie quotes, and each question shows its source.
