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.

Famous Movie Gunfights
Welcome to the Times Union Movie Quiz! Each week we will engage your mind and test your movie knowledge with themed movie trivia. If you get a perfect score you will be in the running for a e-gift card to be used at major online retailers.
There doubtless were other Old West gunfights that happened earlier, but 155 years ago this Tuesday -- July 21, 1865 -- Wild Bill Hickok shot down Davis Tutt in the Springfield, MO, town square. And thus, the first credibly documented Wild West shootout was born (even as Tutt, er, died).
These "this-town-ain't-big-enough-for-the-both-of-us" kind of duels were actual rather rare affairs, much like the gang against gang ones. Surprise, surprise: it was the movies that popularized them.
So this week our movie quiz goes west, young men (and women). We reckon the time is right to see how much you now about big-screen duels, ambushes and factual and fictional gunslingers.
