Further to my previous entry, here are some sample questions taken from previous editions of <a href="http://www.biggerboat-filmquiz.co.uk" target="_blank">the Boogaloo film quiz</a>. These should help to give an inkling of the sort of knowledge required. My thanks to Mr Hupfield for providing these.
I was going to say I'll post the answers in a few days. But then I realised this is the Web. <a href="http://www.google.co.uk/" target="_blank">Google</a> is but a click away.
