Numbers in the Title Trivia Questions

Answer: Haley Joel Osment

All these actors have started their careers quite young. Haley Joel Osment (born 1988) debuted in 1994 with a TV movie and "Forrest Gump". When he was eleven, he broke through with "The Sixth Sense". For his role as Cole Sear, Osment was nominated for an Oscar and for a Golden Globe.
In "The Sixth Sense" Bruce Willis plays a psychiatrist (Malcolm Crowe) who takes care of Cole Sear (Osment), a young boy who insists he sees dead people walking by. Malcolm does not only worry about Cole's condition. Malcolm's wife is not pleased at all with him spending so much time with Cole and Cole's mom...
Macaulay Culkin (born 1980) made fame with "Home Alone" (1990) and "Home Alone 2" (1992). Roddy McDowall (born 1928) had a role in more than a dozen productions before his first major role in "How Green Was My Valley" (1941). Justin Henry (born 1972) debuted in "Kramer vs. Kramer" (1979).

Answer: The 39 Steps

It was based on a 1915 book by John Buchan, who featured the hero of "The 39 Steps", Richard Hannay, in four subsequent novels. In this first story, Hannay must investigate a spy ring while on the run for a crime he did not commit. The movie was remade in 1959 and 1978, but chances are if you catch it on PBS, or a cable network other than BBC, you'll be seeing the original classic.

Answer: 3:10

Classic stand-off situation. One man alone.

Answer: Five Weeks In A Balloon

Also stars Cedric Hardwicke as the inventor, and made in 1962.

Answer: 'Five Easy Pieces'

This is the film with Jack's famous 'chicken salad sandwich' speech.

Answer: 200

This movie has an all star ensemble with a plot of twentysomethings trying to cope with relationships, loneliness, desire and their individual neuroses.

Answer: Karen Black

In "Five Easy Pieces", Jack Nicholson plays Robert Dupea, a manual labourer on oil rigs. When Robert is informed about the bad health condition of his father, he travels with his girl friend (the waitress Rayette, played by Karen Black) to Washington to see his upper class family.
Karen Black (1939-2013) played in almost 200 movies and TV productions. Her first major role was in "Easy Rider" (1969). For her role in "Five Easy Pieces", she won a Golden Globe and was nominated for an Oscar. Later on, she won a Golden Globe for her role in "The Great Gatsby" (1974).
Scarlet Johansson (born 1984) and Eva Green (born 1980) are quite impossible choices for a movie role in 1970. Betty White (born 1922) would not be very convincing as Nicholson's young girlfriend in 1970.

Answer: 8

"Junior Bonner" starring Steve McQueen is a better movie about rodeos in my opinion.

Answer: Six String Samurai

This movie was made in 1998. It's a lot more recent than some movies with numbers.

Answer: 'Six Degrees of Separation'

Donald Sutherland, Stockard Channing and Ian McKellen also starred. Many New York City society types popped up in cameo roles.

Answer: 10

A remake of Shakespeare's play 'The Taming of the Shrew.'

Answer: Julie Andrews

Dudley Moore.

Answer: Sudan

The first scenes in "The Four Feathers" show us some British cavalry officers training for battle and en route to India. There two colonels discuss about an appointment to Sudan. One of the British officers, Harry Feversham, leaves his post just at the brink of a major battle. Only his superior knows Harry goes on an undercover mission, his three best friends and his fiancee think he's just a coward. So they send him a white feather each.
The novel by A.E.W. Mason was the subject of several movies. The best known are the British version directed by Zoltan Korda in 1939 (starring John Clements as Harry Faversham and June Duprez as his fiancée) and the US version directed in 2002 by Shekhar Kapur (starring Heath Ledger as Harry Faversham). The British remake in 1977 (directed by Don Sharp and starring Beau Bridges and Jane Seymour) is quite interesting as well, for it incorporates some original footage from 1939 without it being conspicuous.
The Vietnam War has spawned several movies such as "Platoon" (1986) and "Hamburger Hill" (1987), but was set in the 1960s and early 1970s. The Korean War (1950-1953) inspired "M.A.S.H." (1970). The Gulf War against Saddam Hussein's Iraq (1991-1992) inspired the movies "Courage under Fire" (1996) and "The Hurt Locker" (2008), for instance.

Answer: Fahrenheit 451

Like "1984", the film is set in a society where independent thought has been abolished. Werner is a firefighter whose job it is to actually start fires, by burning books. He meets Christie's character, a subversive book hoarder, and begins to re-examine his whole way of life. The film was based on Ray Bradbury's 1951 novel.

Answer: 10

Based on a true story. Experts are still divided on Timothy Evans' innocence or guilt.

Answer: 'Seven Brides for Seven Brothers'

Answer: Sixteen Candles

A classic!

Answer: Eli Wallach

Henry Fonda, Lee J. Cobb, E.G. Marshall.

Answer: Melquiades Estrada

"The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada" is a title that almost summarizes the whole plot. Estrada (role by Julio Cedillo) is a Mexican illegal immigrant, shot in the desert somewhere in Texas. The shootist quickly covers the body, and soon afterwards Estrada gets an official funeral in the town cemetery. But then a ranch foreman (Tommy Lee Jones) decides that Estrada deserves to be buried in Mexico, and he smuggles the body over the border.
Guy Carrell is the artist with a phobia for being interred alive in the 1962 movie "Premature Burial". This character is portrayed by Ray Milland.
Father Gerald is the character played by Rowan Atkinson in "Four Weddings and a Funeral", who recites almost every sentence the wrong way. I quote "Do you take this woman to be your awful wedded wife?"
In "Funeral in Berlin" (1966), Michael Caine plays Harry Palmer, a spy who has to help the Russian Colonel Stok to defect.

Answer: A Thousand Clowns

Robards reprised a Broadway stage role in this wonderful bittersweet comedy about a boy who must go to live with his unconventional, anti-establishment uncle. (Think of Auntie Mame crossed with Oscar Madison.) Christine Lahti played a female version in a similar story, "Housekeeping" (1987), another cult favorite.

Answer: 20,000

The only movie to star both Spencer Tracy and Bette Davis.
