Question 1 of 10
1. This movie about Vietnam features Robert Duvall, in one of his most famous roles. He plays a helicopter Colonel helping to escort a patrol boat up a river, where they meet a war photojournalist played by Dennis Hopper. Hint


Question 2 of 10
2. Kyle McLachlan stars in this David Lynch film, as a twenty-something suburbanite who, after discovering a human ear in a field, enters a world of depravity under his quiet peaceful town. Dennis Hopper plays a sadistic killer (the antagonist) who uses the ear to obtain sexual favors from a nightclub singer. Name the movie. Hint


Question 3 of 10
3. Kyle McLachlan stars as the son of a powerful magistrate, who is betrayed, overthrown, and ultimately slain in this sci-fi classic based on a book. Sean Young plays the love interest, a member of the clan who aids McLachlan's insurrection against the powers that have killed his father. Hint


Question 4 of 10
4. Sean Young, known for her ditz roles, actually makes a stunning break from that classification with her role in this film, in which she must come to terms with the fact that she is actually a robot. This film also stars M. Emmet Walsh as a slimy police chief who enforces the elimination, or "retirement" of renegade robots living on Earth. Hint


Question 5 of 10
5. M. Emmet Walsh has a small role in this film, starring Rodney Dangerfield, as a college diving coach who has a losing streak a mile long. Rodney Dangerfield plays a middle-aged man returning to college to do some learning and ensure that his son is having a little fun with his college experience. Hint


Question 6 of 10
6. Dangerfield, in a rare departure from comedy, plays a sexually abusive father, in this Oliver Stone film. Although the subject matter is perverse and serious, and everyone cheers when Woody Harrelson, a serial killer, finally does away with him, Dangerfield still comes across as pretty fun. Hint


Question 7 of 10
7. In this WWII film, Harrelson plays an army sergeant, who meets his end in an almost comical manner. He tosses a pin and leaves the grenade attached to his rear end. Also part of this all-star cast is John Cusack, a soldier who leads a daring raid on a fortified Japanese position, in this movie about one American platoon's bloody, but victorious, battle to capture Guadalcanal. Hint


Question 8 of 10
8. John Cusack uncovers some dark secrets in this film, such as hidden doors into the minds and bodies of others, eventually taking control of the title character's body. Charlie Sheen makes a few appearances as himself, a good friend of one of the main characters. Hint


Question 9 of 10
9. In this movie, Charlie Sheen plays a young and ambitious financial executive, with his sights set on the top of the financial world, mentored by an amoral, money-grubbing bigwig, played by Michael Douglas. Hint


Question 10 of 10
10. This movie stars Michael Douglas as an out-of work engineer who finally snaps and decides to correct every little thing wrong with the world, from overcharging convenience stores to bad service at fast-food restaurants. Robert Duvall plays a cop working his last day, when Douglas's case lands right in his lap and makes him question his decision to retire. Hint

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. This movie about Vietnam features Robert Duvall, in one of his most famous roles. He plays a helicopter Colonel helping to escort a patrol boat up a river, where they meet a war photojournalist played by Dennis Hopper.

Answer: Apocalypse Now

In the film, Captain Willard (played by Martin Sheen) must travel up the Nung River to locate and assassinate a rogue officer by the name of Colonel Kurtz (played by Marlon Brando). Featuring Laurence Fishburne in his acting debut, "Apocalypse Now" was released in two versions: the second, or "REDUX" edition, included a scene where a gunner on the patrol boat steals Robert Duvall's surfboard. Based on Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness", the film is considered by many to be one of the greatest war movies ever.
2. Kyle McLachlan stars in this David Lynch film, as a twenty-something suburbanite who, after discovering a human ear in a field, enters a world of depravity under his quiet peaceful town. Dennis Hopper plays a sadistic killer (the antagonist) who uses the ear to obtain sexual favors from a nightclub singer. Name the movie.

Answer: Blue Velvet

Also starring Isabella Rosellini and Laura Dern, this movie is a cult classic, largely due to Hopper's classic portrayal of Frank Booth. "Blue Velvet" features quite the medley of '50s and '60s songs as background music, most notably Roy Orbison's "In Dreams" (the use of which establishes Frank Booth as a real sick puppy) and Bobby Vinton's "Blue Velvet", which Rosellini's character sings, giving the film its title.
3. Kyle McLachlan stars as the son of a powerful magistrate, who is betrayed, overthrown, and ultimately slain in this sci-fi classic based on a book. Sean Young plays the love interest, a member of the clan who aids McLachlan's insurrection against the powers that have killed his father.

Answer: Dune

"Dune" was also directed by David Lynch, and featured Sting as a henchman with whom McLachlan duels in the final scene. Real movie buffs could also make the leap from "Blue Velvet" to "Dune" with Brad Dourif, who also played Billy Bibbit in "One Flew Over A Cuckoo's Nest".
4. Sean Young, known for her ditz roles, actually makes a stunning break from that classification with her role in this film, in which she must come to terms with the fact that she is actually a robot. This film also stars M. Emmet Walsh as a slimy police chief who enforces the elimination, or "retirement" of renegade robots living on Earth.

Answer: Blade Runner

"Blade Runner", directed by Ridley Scott, focuses on an ex-cop (Harrison Ford) specializing in robot hunting, who must return to the force to eliminate criminal robots who have returned to Earth. The robot leaders, Roy and Pris, are played by Rutger Hauer and Daryl Hannah, respectively.
5. M. Emmet Walsh has a small role in this film, starring Rodney Dangerfield, as a college diving coach who has a losing streak a mile long. Rodney Dangerfield plays a middle-aged man returning to college to do some learning and ensure that his son is having a little fun with his college experience.

Answer: Back to School

"Back to School" also stars Ned Beatty, and Robert Downey, Jr. with a cameo by Sam Kinison as an outrageously conservative, history teacher who goes ballistic whenever someone tries to disagree... much like Kinison in real life.
6. Dangerfield, in a rare departure from comedy, plays a sexually abusive father, in this Oliver Stone film. Although the subject matter is perverse and serious, and everyone cheers when Woody Harrelson, a serial killer, finally does away with him, Dangerfield still comes across as pretty fun.

Answer: Natural Born Killers

"Natural Born Killers" stars Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis, as two lovers-turned-mass-murderers who sweep westward, killing everyone unfortunate enough to meet them. The movie also features Robert Downey, Jr. as a media mogul, who exploits murder sprees to boost ratings and Tommy Lee Jones as a prison warden with a chip on his shoulder.

Interestingly enough, Quentin Tarantino, who wrote "Natural Born Killers", hates Oliver Stone for his directing of the film. Maybe there just wasn't enough blood spraying for his liking.
7. In this WWII film, Harrelson plays an army sergeant, who meets his end in an almost comical manner. He tosses a pin and leaves the grenade attached to his rear end. Also part of this all-star cast is John Cusack, a soldier who leads a daring raid on a fortified Japanese position, in this movie about one American platoon's bloody, but victorious, battle to capture Guadalcanal.

Answer: The Thin Red Line

"The Thin Red Line" also starred Jim Caviezel ("The Passion of the Christ"), George Clooney, Sean Penn, Nick Nolte, Adrian Brody, and John C. Reilly. A movie game favorite for its all-star cast, the fighting in the movie was sporadic, but brutal and gory.
8. John Cusack uncovers some dark secrets in this film, such as hidden doors into the minds and bodies of others, eventually taking control of the title character's body. Charlie Sheen makes a few appearances as himself, a good friend of one of the main characters.

Answer: Being John Malkovich

The movie also stars Cameron Diaz and John Malkovich, as John Cusack's host body. One of the movie's most hilarious scenes is watching Malkovich perform the "Dance of Despair and Disillusionment," which Cusack's character has been performing with puppets for many years.
9. In this movie, Charlie Sheen plays a young and ambitious financial executive, with his sights set on the top of the financial world, mentored by an amoral, money-grubbing bigwig, played by Michael Douglas.

Answer: Wall Street

Daryl Hannah, Sean Young (could have missed a few steps there) and John C. McGinley also appear in the movie. Another interesting casting choice was Martin Sheen as Charlie Sheen's father in the film. Does a real father-son dynamic work better than one with a substitute father? The difference is not quite as noticeable as it would seem.
10. This movie stars Michael Douglas as an out-of work engineer who finally snaps and decides to correct every little thing wrong with the world, from overcharging convenience stores to bad service at fast-food restaurants. Robert Duvall plays a cop working his last day, when Douglas's case lands right in his lap and makes him question his decision to retire.

Answer: Falling Down

With Rachel Ticotin and Tuesday Weld, "Falling Down" was actually filmed during the L.A. Riots of 1992. An insane movie buff could also tell me that I could have gone straight from "Apocalypse Now" to "Falling Down" by picking up Frederic Forrest: he played "Chef", the machinist, in the former; in the latter he played the neo-Nazi.
