If you get a perfect score you will be in the running for a eGift card to be used at major online retailers.

The current weather makes it easy to believe that summer is finally here -- as of Saturday, June 20, that is.
And while in most parts of the country, the only way to watch new movies is at home on TV or on our streaming devices (drive-ins are mostly going the "classics" route), we can still celebrate cinema with our weekly movie quiz.
See how much you know about not just summer movies, but movies with the word "summer" in their titles.

"What about prom, Blane?"
At this time of year, high school students across the country are asking the same question Molly Ringwald did in "Pretty in Pink." The global pandemic put a stop to most things, big and small. Like high school dances.
But just because you can't squeeze into that gown or tux, tease that hair to unnatural heights and get impaled by a corsage pin, you can still test your knowledge of prom movies.
