Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. (1996) Maggie Smith plays Gunilla Garson Goldberg, a scion of New York society, in this very funny movie about three women who decide to get even with the men who threw them over for younger women. Victor Garber plays one of the husbands who finds that the woman he left his wife for is MUCH younger than he realized.

Answer: First Wives Club

Hugh Wilson directed this film that was based on a novel by Olivia Goldsmith. Goldie Hawn, Diane Keaton, Bette Midler, Dan Hedaya and Stephen Collins also starred.
2. (1997) Remember that unsinkable ship that sank? Victor Garber played the man who designed the ill-fated ship, and Bill Paxton played the man who tried to recover its treasures from the ocean's floor. Name the movie.

Answer: Titanic

James Cameron directed this film that also starred Kate Winslet, Leonardo DiCaprio, Billy Zane and Kathy Bates. It was an amazing movie that won 11 Academy Awards, but I have to admit that I got very tired of Winslet running around crying 'Jack, Jack, Jack'!
3. (1996) Bill Paxton is chasing his estranged wife, Helen Hunt, around to get her to sign their divorce papers. Fortunately she's too busy chasing tornadoes to get he papers signed - it saves them from having to go to the bother of getting married again when they realize that they still really love each other.

Answer: Twister

Jan de Bont directed this film that I enjoyed a whole lot more than I expected to. The rub in this film was the white shirt that Hunt wore. It managed to stay white no matter how many storms, and ditches that she went through.
4. (2000) Nick Marshall, played by Mel Gibson, is a real man's man - which is why it's so ironic that he gains the ability to hear what women are thinking. Darcy, played by Helen Hunt, is the new boss whose job he plans to get...until he discovers that he's in love with her.

Answer: What Women Want

Nancy Meyers directed this very funny movie that also starred Marisa Tomei and Alan Alda. Gibson shows the range of his ability when he performs an amazing dance to an old Sinatra tune.
5. (2000) He had no plans on getting involved in their war, until they killed one of his sons right in front of him...then he became their worst nightmare. Mel Gibson played Benjamin Martin and Heath Ledger played one of his sons in this movie about the American Revolution.

Answer: The Patriot

Roland Emmerich directed this movie that had enough action and excitement to satisfy most. However the brutality of the English was a little heavy-handed, and the film would have you believe that Benjamin Martin single-handedly won the war. Jason Isaacs, Chris Cooper and Joely Richardson also starred.
6. (2001) Heath Ledger plays the undefeatable Sir William Thatcher, a noble knight who is not really noble at all. Paul Bettany plays a young Geoffrey Chaucer, who serves as a Herald for the young knight, helping him to invent a bogus lineage.

Answer: A Knight's Tale

Brian Helgeland directed this fun film that also starred Shannyn Sossamon, Laura Fraser and Mark Addy. The film is loaded with anachronisms which, for some strange reason, actually seem to work.
7. (2001) Paul Bettany played the college roommate (who never really existed), and Ed Harris played the special agent (who also never really existed), who was hiring cryptographers, in this movie about a mathematical genius who struggled with schizophrenia.

Answer: A Beautiful Mind

Ron Howard directed this incredible movie based on the true story of Nobel Award winner John Nash, played by Russell Crowe. Jennifer Connelly and Christopher Plummer also starred.
8. (1995) An explosion in space endangered the lives of three American astronauts. Ed Harris played the Flight Director who led the efforts to bring them home safely in this movie that was based on a true story. Kevin Bacon played one of the astronauts.

Answer: Apollo 13

Ron Howard directed this incredibly powerful movie that told the story of what can be accomplished by sheer determination. Tom Hanks, Bill Paxton, Gary Sinise, and Kathleen Quinlan also starred. As corny as it sounds now, I got shivers when Harris delivered the line 'Failure is not an option.'.
9. (1990) Kevin Bacon and Julia Roberts are two of a group of medical students who are literally playing games with life and death. They take turns having their hearts stopped, and then restarted again, in an effort to gain some insights into dying.

Answer: Flatliners

Joel Schumacher directed this film that also starred Kiefer Sutherland, William Baldwin and Oliver Platt.
10. (1991) Julia Roberts played Tinkerbell in this film about a grown-up Peter Pan returning to Neverland to save his kids from the dreaded Captain Hook. Maggie Smith played an elderly Granny Wendy, from whose house the children are kidnapped.

Answer: Hook

Steven Spielberg directed this heart-warming film that also starred Dustin Hoffman, Robin Williams, and Bob Hoskins.
