From Quiz Roma (2018)

Answer: Washing the driveway

The film starts with the opening credits appearing over a bird's-eye-view shot of the tiles of a driveway. We hear the sound of running water and then see it flowing over the tiles, as Cleo begins to wash the driveway. The swirling, soapy water creates a reflection in the floor tiles of the sky above the house and a passing plane. As Cuarón said in a press conference, "The film starts looking at earth, in which heaven is nothing but a reflection in the water." The camera pans up when Cleo is done to show her storing the water hose, bucket and squeegee. Cleo then goes about the rest of her chores - making the beds, collecting the laundry, and seeing to the afternoon meal after the children return home from school. By focusing on these mundane household tasks, Cuarón elevates Cleo from a character ordinarily relegated to the sidelines to the driving force of the film's narrative. We see Cleo interrupt her clothes washing on the roof to share a playful, tender moment with Pepe, and later that evening we see Pepe protest when Cleo's duties threaten to take her away from family time in front of the TV. Cleo puts Sofi to bed with a lullaby and is the first person Sofi sees when she is awoken gently from her slumber the next morning. Even the simple act of turning off the lights in the house acquires a special significance when we learn that the mischievous Pepe turned them all on just for Cleo. Through a series of vignettes of everyday life, Cuarón paints a picture of a loving family with Cleo as its beating heart.

From Quiz Room

Answer: Candles on fire

"Ma, I'm five!" Jack whispers excitedly as he brushes the hair away from his face. He hovers excitedly over Ma in Bed until she stirs from her sleep with a smile. "You're such a big boy now," she says as she hugs him. They go about their daily routine, beginning with Jack working his way around their small living space and wishing all of the furniture in Room "good morning". When he sits down to a bowl of cereal with Ma, she turns to him with a smile. "Hey, you know what we're going to do today?" she asks. "We're going to bake a birthday cake." Jack helps to break the eggs for the cake, and when it's ready he sits at the table with his hands covering his eyes. "Abacadabra!" Ma says excitedly as she presents it to him. It is a simple cake, with the number '5' written in the icing on the top. "Now the candles!" Jack exclaims, but is disappointed when he is told that they don't have any. "You said a birthday cake for real. That means candles on fire," he points out. "You should ask for candles for Sunday Treat, not dumb jeans." Ma patiently tries to reason with Jack. "I'm sorry. You know I have to ask for stuff that we really need, stuff that he can get easily," she explains. "But Old Nick gets anything by magic," Jack protests. Ma tries to change the subject by getting Jack to try a bite of the cake, but Jack refuses and throws a tantrum. Ma pauses for a moment before taking him into her arms in a tender hug. "Next week when I'm six you gotta ask for real candles," Jack says. "Next year you mean," Ma replies vacantly.

From Quiz Hitchcock's "Rope"--Success or Failure?

Answer: It took place toward the end of the movie.

Alfred Hitchcock's appearances were immensely popular with his audiences and became a trademark. He usually appeared early in the film because he didn't want to take viewers out of the story or undercut the mood. These on-screen mini-characters were often passive observers. His walk-ons were so brief that the viewer had to be sharp or risk missing them entirely. In the film he appeared briefly in his usual way during the opening, walking by a fire hydrant. In "Rope's" model of the New York skyline, Hitchcock's image was the piece de resistance. He appeared in a darkened window in the form of a red neon sign shaped into his famous profile. Hitch appeared toward the end of the movie when the tension is high and distracted the audience when it appeared. This image appeared an unprecedented three times as an emphatic symbol of potency, not helplessness!

From Quiz Rock of Ages

From Quiz The Rough House

Answer: With a teacup

Fatty has his trousers, socks, and shoes on under his nightshirt. He makes multiple calm trips to the kitchen for cups of water, even pausing to kiss the maid and eat a donut, before his wife and mother-in-law realize what's going on. When they become alarmed, Fatty yells out the window to the gardener (played by Buster Keaton with a greasepaint beard), who provides a hose with which Fatty sprays everybody and everything that isn't the burning bed before Al comes to his aid.

From Quiz The Room

Answer: San Francisco

While the setting is never mentioned by name in the film, numerous shots of the Golden Gate Bridge only serve to enhance your awareness that the room is 'actually a place'. Furthermore, another 'stock footage' shot seen throughout the film is that of Johnny riding a streetcar. This doesn't really make sense as he drives a car throughout the movie. Let's start with the basics. "The Room" is both a train wreck and a masterpiece. Tommy Wiseau, somehow, raised millions to fund the movie and the result is a cult following; cinematic gold is what I'd deem it. The DVD case actually has misspellings on its inside and yet it still won a film festival award. The trailer for the film is just as stunning. A voice-over claims the movie to be "the best film of the year" and that we should "experience this quirky, new black comedy". "It's a riot", claims the narrator, who goes on to note that it has the passion of Tennessee Williams. Let me tell you, this is only the tip of the iceberg.
