National Parks Movie Quiz

Arches National Park.pngThe Academy Awards are this Sunday, so perhaps you'd like to test your cinematic IQ with a quiz that combines two of our favorite things: national parks and movies. Here's one of the questions:

The opening shots Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade shows young Indy framed against a dramatic landscape in which national park?
Think you know? Click here and take the quiz on our new National Geographic Travel & Cultures mega-site. We make it a little easier: it's multiple choice. (Hint: the take a look at the photo above.)

Our Travel & Cultures site features lots more travel quizzes on cities, countries and national parks.

Speaking of movies, this year's foreign film nominees for the Oscars were screened at National Geographic headquarters last weekend, just as they have been for the past three years. Our brother and sister bloggers at Pop Omnivore watched the films and posted nutshell reviews with relevant clips, explaining what each title means and revealing one Oscar-worthy moment in each.

So even if you haven't actually seen Un prophète from France, AJAMI from Israel or The Milk of Sorrow from Peru, you'll probably know more about them than your friends.
