Question 1 of 10

'The Truman Show'

'Ace Ventura - Pet Detective'

'How The Grinch Stole Christmas!'

Question 2 of 10

2. The Security Guard from the shopping complex stops in. He doesn't want to buy anything (he never does as you've been told). He just always has questions. Today he's wondering what was the name of that movie that Leonardo DiCaprio was up for an Oscar for, it came out sometime before 2001? Hint

'Titanic'

'The Basketball Diaries'

'What's Eating Gilbert Grape?'

'Marvin's Room'

'Apocalypse Now Redux'

'Swordfish'

'Saving Private Ryan'

'The Mummy Returns'

NEXT>

Question 4 of 10

4. You just ordered out for a Western Omelette and a jug of coffee when a soft spoken young man comes to you for help. He wants a movie where the sky starts dropping frogs at the end. Somebody told him it was 'totally rad'. What is he looking for? Hint

'Magnolia'

'Freddie Got Fingered'

'Trog'

'The Animal'

NEXT>

Question 5 of 10

5. After only a half of a sip of coffee your next customer stumbles in. He explains that he's a CPA by day and a musician by night---more information than you ever ever needed. He wants a movie directed by Tom Hanks. Which of these does he seek? Hint

'You've Got Mail'

'That Thing You Do'

'Proof'

'Eddie And The Cruisers'

NEXT>

Question 6 of 10

6. The cheese in your omelette is runny and you're peeved. And then that security guard shows back up. He's wondering which film got Kate Hepburn her first Oscar. After you explain to him that you are a video store employee and not a film historian, you correctly answer his question. Which movie? Hint

'The Lion In Winter'

'The Philadelphia Story'

'Morning Glory'

'Guess Who's Coming To Dinner?'

NEXT>

Answer: (Four Words)

Question 8 of 10

8. Next customer comes in and asks for that movie where Sandra Bullock gets tied up to a pole, stripped nearly naked and left for the animals to eat her up. This guy has a definite problem, you figure. What film is he looking for, though? Hint

'Speed 2'

'Miss Congeniality'

NEXT>

Question 9 of 10

9. The next customer, a teenaged girl obviously skipping school, wants the movie that Ricky Martin starred in, she says it's coming out before 2002. You're stumped and look it up. What do you tell her? Hint

'Dirty Dancing 2'

He's planning a flick playing an Elvis impersonator. Stay tuned.

'La Vida Loca'

There is no such movie.

NEXT>

Question 10 of 10

10. The day is almost over. The coffee is gone, the omelette consumed. The next irksome, but good natured, stopper-by wants the movie where Sean Penn gets a lethal injection in the end. Easy one. You give him what movie?

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: 'How The Grinch Stole Christmas!'

Karloff narrated the original TV cartoon. Carrey and director Ron Howard reinvigorated the story, whether for the better or worse, in 2000. But your customer is happy to get the video...

Answer: 'What's Eating Gilbert Grape?'

Leo was actually very good in all these projects, but he got his Oscar nomination in 'Gilbert Grape' playing Johnny Depp's retarded younger brother.

Answer: 'Apocalypse Now Redux'

Kilgore loves the smell of napalm in the morning! A famous line delivered by Robert Duvall in 'Apocalypse Now'.

Answer: 'Magnolia'

That's 'Magnolia' and I just learned today that the director's first choice was to have cats and dogs falling on people and their cars. Frogs were cheaper and easier.

Answer: 'That Thing You Do'

Hanks made a pretty fun movie with 'That Thing You Do'. Nora Ephron directed 'You've Got Mail', 'Proof' starred Hanks' often co-star Meg Ryan (but was not directed by him) and I'm pretty sure 'Eddie And The Cruisers' had nothing to do with Tom Hanks!

Answer: 'Morning Glory'

Ms. Hepburn got her first Oscar in 1933 and won three more somewhat later in life. May we suggest that the security dude needs to get a life?

7. The boss comes out of his office. He says to pull that movie with Nolte and Streisand in it, the one from before 2000, and mark it for sale. No more rentals. He is referring to what?

Answer: The Prince Of Tides

Pat Conroy wrote the intelligent book and Nolte was astounding in the lead in the film. Streisand played his shrink slash love interest.

Answer: 'A Time To Kill'

In the film, Sandra helped to make right a black man who killed the men who raped his daughter. The KKK got testy and hung her out to dry.

Answer: There is no such movie.

'Dirty Dancing 2' has been suggested as a Ricky Martin vehicle but so far he gyrates only on MTV.

Answer: Dead Man Walking

While Susan Sarandon won an Oscar for her role as a nun in this picture, I really believe that Sean Penn out-acted her. OK. You're done for the day. Have a great one!
