Can You Identify These 8 Movies from Their Posters? Take the Quiz!

If Francis Ford Coppola revitalized the gangster film genre in the 1970s with the first two installments of his “Godfather” trilogy, it was Brian De Palma who continued this tradition into the next decade with major films like “Scarface” and “The Untouchables”. Then came Martin Scorsese’s reign in the 1990s with two films now considered masterpieces: “Goodfellas” and “Casino”. However, other films also made their mark during this time, such as “Carlito’s Way” (again by Brian De Palma), “Heat” (by Michael Mann), and “Donnie Brasco”.

The film directed by Mike Newell will be re-aired tonight in a special dedicated to one of its main stars, Johnny Depp. This gives us a chance to offer a new quiz about this actor. Following our previous quiz on his filmography, here are nine movie posters to identify from just a detail. Before you start, here are some behind-the-scenes secrets about the movie airing tonight on Arte.

Based on a True Story

“Donnie Brasco” is based on the life of Joseph Pistone, an FBI agent who went undercover to infiltrate one of the major mafia families, spending over six years inside and helping to bring about the arrest of more than 200 individuals, half of whom were caught. He has since lived in a secret location under a false identity.
