2. What Oscar-winning 1981 film tells the story of a group of British track athletes who competed in the 1924 Paris Olympic games?

Answer: Chariots of Fire

"Chariots of Fire" is based on historical events, but takes some liberties with characters and situations. It tells the story of a group of young British runners who "ran for king and country" in the Paris Olympic games of 1924. The story focuses on Harold Abrahams, an English Cambridge University student who had felt discrimination due to his Jewish heritage, a sprinter who sought to make a place for himself in the Establishment through his running; and on Eric Liddell, a Scottish rugby player and fledgling missionary to China, who concentrated on running to glorify God.

The movie was classified as a prime example of "Masterpiece Theater" filmmaking and was as famous for its 1920s' costumes by Milena Canonero and legendary theme and music score by Vangelis as it was for its story and acting.

It was a commercial hit and won four of the seven Academy Awards for which it was nominated, including Best Picture.

5. From which film is this iconic line: "Gentlemen, you can't fight in here. This is the War Room!"?

Answer: Dr. Strangelove

Stanley Kubrick and Peter George and Terry Southern were the screenwriters for this film. They wrote that ironic line of dialogue for the character President Merkin Muffley played by the actor Peter Sellers in the film "Dr. Strangelove: Or How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb" (1964).

The crux of the plot revolves around US Brigadier General Ripper's (Sterling Hayden) decision to order his aircraft to attack the Soviet Union. Executive Officer Lionel Mandrake (Peter Sellers) tries to talk him out of it while President Murkin Muffley (also Peter Sellers) tries working with the Russians to avert disaster.

7. Tough boots to fill. John Wayne won an Oscar for playing Rooster Cogburn in "True Grit" in 1969. Who played the same role in 2010 version?

Answer: Jeff Bridges

Directed by the Coen Brothers, they were determined to make their version true to source material by the original author Charles Portis. As such they directed Jeff Bridges to forget about the John Wayne version. Mr Bridges did a credible job earning an Oscar nomination but not a win.

In fact the movie received ten Oscar nominations but won none, making it as one of the most ever nominated films not to win an Oscar.

8. In the delightful movie "You've Got Mail", who is Brinkley?

Answer: Joe's dog

Brinkley is Joe Fox's beautiful Golden Retriever dog, in the delightfully whimsical movie "You've Got Mail". As Joe Fox and Kathleen Kelly communicate anonymously via email, they unwittingly cross paths in their real lives. Inevitably both worlds collide.
Brinkley provides the vital link between them, as he is the only aspect of Joe's world referred to by name in their email communications.
As Kathleen waits in Central Park to finally see who her online love is, she hears the name "Brinkley" called as the dog runs ahead of Joe. She realises that the man she has fought against, and then come to know, is actually her email love.
Brinkley seals their meeting as he jumps up and joins in the long anticipated embrace between the two.

10. From which film would you hear the line, "You shall see a cow on the roof of a cotton house"?

Answer: O Brother, Where Art Thou?

In the searing heat of the Mississippi sun, in the 30s, three inmates made a break and escaped from prison. Everett Ulysses McGill, and his chained cohorts, Delmar and Pete were told by a blind prophet they would see 'thangs' too wonderful to tell, like a cow on the roof of a cotton house.

At the end of "O, Brother Where Art Thou?" (2000), the unlikely prediction came true.
