Spirituality in Movies Trivia Questions
1. In "Facing the Giants", what was the name of the team Grant Taylor coached which is first heard and seen in the first scene of the movie during the football game?

From Quiz Christian Movies That I Like

Answer: Eagles

"Facing the Giants" came out in 2006 and starred Alex Hendrick as Taylor. Kendrick also co-wrote the music with Mark Willard, and he co-produced it with his brother Stephen Kendrick and David Nixon. He also directed the film. In the movie, Taylor is the football coach for Shiloh Christian Academy, with a losing record. The fathers want him fired. While teaching the kids on the team, he learns something himself, "There is nothing God can't do." The name of the team is mentioned at the very beginning during a game plus it shows the name on the scoreboard.

2. In what 1947 classic does a charming angel help a troubled clergyman overcome earthly distractions and find his way back to the roots of his faith?

From Quiz Movies Related to Christianity

Answer: The Bishop's Wife

When Bishop Brougham becomes increasingly preoccupied with raising money to build a new cathedral, God sends a suave (and surprisingly human) angel to answer his prayers for help. It soon becomes obvious that the bishop's desire to succeed has overshadowed his family, his duties to his parishioners, and his commitment to serve the needy. Through a series of small and sometimes humorous miracles, Dudley the angel (Cary Grant) guides the minister and his flock back to a simpler and far more meaningful path. David Niven, Loretta Young, and Monty Woolley co starred in this Oscar winning classic. (Submitted by Coonielady)

3. He was an actor who was known for his dalliance with a pretty woman. Who also starred in the title role of the 1985 movie "King David"?

From Quiz The Bible On The Silver Screen

Answer: Richard Gere

There you go, Richard Gere typecast again. David was one of the most complex characters of the Old Testament; a murderer and adulterer, yet God said he "was a man after my own heart". Gere played David with Edward Woodward as Saul and Alice Krige as Bathsheba. The movie was filmed in Italy. The scenery, though, could not save it from a savaging by the critics. His role earned Gere a Golden Raspberry. Richard Gere starred opposite Julia Roberts in the 1990 movie "Pretty Woman" about a man who fell in love with a hooker.

4. An "epic among epics", "The Ten Commandments" was directed by Cecil B. DeMille and starred Charlton Heston as Moses. Can you remember who played the role of Egyptian Pharoah Rameses II?

From Quiz The Bible on the Big Screen

"The Ten Commandments" premiered in 1956, and won the Oscar for Best Visual Effects, as well as being nominated for six others. As well as portraying Moses, Charlton Heston was also the Voice of God in the burning bush.

5. Valentine Dyall was the voice of God in the 1967 version of this movie that was remade in 2000 starring Elizabeth Hurley and Brendan Fraser. Name the film.

From Quiz God Complex

Answer: Bedazzled

"Bedazzled" was written by Peter Cook and Dudley Moore. In it Cook plays the Devil and Moore the hapless sap. Moore's character trades his soul for a series of wishes but as in any deal with the Devil, he never gets what he thinks he is asking for. Raquel Welch famously played Lust in the movie.

6. Earlier in his career, this actor played a principal, a judge, and a president. So one might say he was destined to play God, and he did it in a comedy starring Jim Carrey. Who is he?

From Quiz They All Played God

Answer: Morgan Freeman

Morgan Freeman was Principal Joe Clark in 'Lean on Me' in 1989, Judge Leonard White in 'The Bonfire of the Vanities' in 1990, and President Tom Beck in 'Deep Impact' in 1998. He was God in 'Bruce Almighty' in 2003.

7. "Fireproof" starred Kirk Cameron as Caleb. What book did his father send him when Caleb's marriage was in trouble?

From Quiz Christian Movies That I Like

Answer: The Love Dare

"Fireproof" came out in 2008 and starred Kirk Cameron and Erin Bethea as his wife, Catherine. Caleb is a firefighter who is a bad husband. His father sends him "The Love Dare" with instructions to do all forty days before he divorces Catherine. Slowly, Caleb starts to change as he does this, especially after he is saved. At the end of the movie, when Caleb kisses Catherine, Kirk Cameron's wife Chelsea Noble was brought in because he said the only woman he would kiss is her.

8. Playing monarchs in 1950's movies seemed to attract an actor of, at the time, almost unique appearance. Who played King Solomon in the 1959 epic "Solomon and Sheba"?

From Quiz The Bible On The Silver Screen

Answer: Yul Brynner

Sheba was played by Gina Lollobrigida. Although the critics hated the film it was a box office success. The bald-headed Brynner had played the King of Siam in "The King and I" in 1956.

9. Which 1954 film, starring Victor Mature, was a sequel to 1953's "The Robe"?

From Quiz The Bible on the Big Screen

The film begins where "The Robe" ends, with the martyring of Marcellus and Diana. Alongside Victor Mature as Demetrius, the film also featured Ernest Borgnine, Susan Hayward, and Anne Bancroft among the cast. In spite of this, and the popularity of "The Robe", "Demetrius and the Gladiators" was slated by the critics, and enjoyed little box office success.

However, one officer named Shane (Kevin Downes) was stealing drugs that came in as evidence to sell himself and make more money.

Javier believing God answered his prayer, is unphased by the sudden work.

From Quiz Movies Related to Christianity

Answer: Miss Clara

Miss Clara was played by Karen Abercrombie. She was about thirty years younger than Miss Clara who was an 80 year old woman. In the film Miss Clara taught Elizabeth (played by Priscilla Shrirer) to become a prayer warrior. This movie is all about the power of prayer. (Submitted by Ilona_ritter).

From Quiz The Bible On The Silver Screen

It was, in fact, DeMille's last movie; he died in January 1959. Anne Baxter and Edward G. Robinson were also among the cast leaders.

She is ready to give up until she meets Miss Clara. Elizabeth thought she was going to Miss Clara's to help her sell her home. Little did she know she would also be getting help living a prayerful life. Miss Clara shows Elizabeth the closet she made into a war room.

The film was shot using, as far as possible, the same locations as Paolo Pasolini used for his "The Gospel According to St. Matthew" in the 1960s.
