Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. You're not planning to rent anything, but you decide to browse through the titles. You never knew they could fill a whole store up with movies like this! The polite gentleman behind the counter offers you a latte while you shop, but you have some coffee already and courteously decline. Let's look around. The first tape you pick up stars Stephen Caffrey, Patrick Cassidy and the actor who was Oscar nominated for his role in it. Besides the coffee, what film is in your hands? (Oh, my gosh, you realize! This is a store geared for gay and lesbian themes! But you are open minded about things.)
2. The next film you glance at is a bit of an oldie. It's based on a play by Lillian Hellman and concerns two schoolteachers accused of a lesbian relationship by a rather horribly bratty student. "Mean little kid," you think as you read the blurb. One of the teachers hangs themselves at the end. Which movie is this?
3. Your next stop is at another movie made in the 60's, about a fellow struggling to deal with his fierce resignation that he is really not homosexual. It came out in 1968. And, yikes! Frank Sinatra is in it! What's the film?
4. Two snickering chums enter the store, just when you thought you were alone in here. They want to see the "dirty videos." "This store does not deal in pornography," the manager says. "You're in the wrong neighborhood." The young men leave in a huff. Good riddance. The next shelf in the store has Susan Sarandon's face on it! You're thinking "Bull Durham" or "Atlantic City"---in which movie, tinged in gay themes, did she participate in 1983?
5. This next film you pick up has that girl from "Friends" in it. She plays an unexpectedly pregnant lady who hooks up with a roommate who proves to be a great companion and a potentially perfect father. Problem is, he likes other guys. Maybe a good stand-in Dad, but not exactly a love match for her. Which film have you got?
6. The next film you notice is another one from the 60s (1968, to be exact). Anne Heywood and Sandy Dennis play rather hibernative lovers and then a seaman washes up on shore where they live. Not good news for him! You look at the clerk, whose opinion you have now come to value about his wares. He shakes his head. "That one is a bummer", he says. What movie did you quickly put back on the shelf?
7. Ah, the next cassette you notice, you remember hearing about. It broke some new ground in 1970. It's about a birthday party with a group of gay friends who do nothing but verbally assault each other and pass a few jokes in along the way. You remember an old friend saying to you about this one: "Joan Rivers would have fit right in!" Which movie are you looking at?
8. The next one that catches your eye is called "Personal Best," made in 1982. The story sounds fascinating, since it deals with a sport. Which sport is that?
9. And then, a few racks down, yet another movie with a gay male lead and a pregnant friend. But this time, he is a drag queen and she is schizophrenic. It was made in Canada. What's that film you are looking at?
10. Now you're surprised! Who in this film or what does the film have to do with being gay? It's one of your favorites, though. Always has been AND you like this store so you sign up and rent it. The manager gives you his discount because you seem like a nice person, too. You take home the film "Some Like It Hot"; one of the belly laugh final lines in it was?
