Some of the best games based on movies are those freely available online from your computer, tablet, or even your smartphone. Among the best sites for quizzes and games like these is Sporcle. The site has a subcategory specifically for movie-related quizzes that will have even the most knowledgeable film buffs racking their brains for the answers.Sporcle has a lot of pros but also a couple of cons. Almost all are linked to the fact that it’s a community-run website. Because it’s run by fans, the site is constantly updated with new quizzes. The most popular quizzes are updated both according to all-time favourites and daily popularity, so if you’re a frequent visitor to the site it’s easy to see the newest additions.A slight drawback to the site being run by users is that you occasionally find inaccuracies. Sometimes fans will slip up when filling out answers, which can be frustrating when you know you’ve got a question right but it doesn’t accept your answer. Fortunately, this happens once in a blue moon.

Whilst online quizzes can be a lot of fun, it’s the games you pay for that often offer the most enjoyable experience. During the development stages of a movie, studios like Fox, Sony, and Disney will often spend a lot of money working in tandem with a gaming production company to create a video game based on their films. They time the releases of the games in coordination with the releases of the movies to have the biggest possible impact for both.Some of the most successful movies of all time are notorious for having video game adaptations that were terribly received by fans. E.T., for example, is one of the best known failures in video game history, and the cartridges were part of Atari’s physical dumping of their products during the 1980s.On the opposite end of the spectrum, Treyarch’s video game version of Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 2 frequently tops fan-favourite lists of the best games based on movies. The company has also broken records with its Call of Duty franchise, and adapted Minority Report and James Bond’s Quantum of Solace for gaming and movie fans.
