If you're the kind of movie-lover who can reel off the entire Bette Davis filmography in your sleep, this is the book for you! DiLeo knows his stuff inside out, and the wicked complexity of his quizzes will keep even the most knowledgable reader happily amused for hours. The best movie trivia book I've ever seen.

And You Thought You Knew Classic Movies is extremely challenging for even the most accomplished movie buffs. The quizzes are fun! Most of the time I had to peek at the answers - I learned a lot about my favorite old movies. Thank you John!

Very disappointing. Misleading too. Almost every question says: match the following actor to the movie or match a character to specific role. That's fine once or twice but not nearly 200 times! You must be kidding me! Boring! Not what I had in mind by a longshot. The back of the book has six good questions but trivia of that ilk is not inside. Bad.

Had so much fun doing the quizzes in this book flying across the Atlantic with my husband, I was in New York before I knew it. Had to buy it for my friends. It's fun anytime but especially now with the Academy Awards this month.

Really enjoyed this book! Challenging, great photos... even the scoring guide pays homage to cinema in a clever and humorous fashion.

Kael's endorsement was good enough for me. The categories are so witty and ingenious, I wanted to solve all of them, but I'm just not maven enough. I hear S. Sondheim had no problem, though.

The best quiz book of classic movies that I have come across. It's funny, it's tricky, and DiLeo really knows his stuff. Great photos too.
