About This Quiz

For a movie to really be good and engage the audience, it needs to have something you can relate to. There needs to be a human element, even if the characters aren't human. Something that pulls you in and puts you in the place of one of the characters so you can try to imagine yourself in that scenario. All the best movies do it by showing you a real, human story. That's the reason a lot of romance films are so popular, because what could be more human than falling in love? People relate either because they want it, have it or had it at some time in their lives. Even a movie franchise as outlandish and fantastic as "Star Wars" had a power couple.

Since movie couples work best by showing us the reality of a relationship between two people, it's easy to transport yourself to that spot if you're in a relationship too. How many times have you seen a couple in a movie and thought "that's just like us!?" Sure, they're fictional, and you need to take it all with a grain of salt, but they can be really inspiring and fun to watch.
