'Swordfish'

'Apocalypse Now Redux'

'Freddie Got Fingered'

'Magnolia'

'Proof'

'You've Got Mail'

'Eddie And The Cruisers'

NEXT>

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!
