Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. "Your eyes are full of hate, forty-one."

Answer: Ben-Hur

Quintus Arrius (Jack Hawkins) speaking to Judah Ben-Hur (Charlton Heston). Judah had been betrayed by his childhood friend Messala and sent to sea as a galley slave, known only as "Rower 41". During a sea battle he saves the life of Arrius, a Roman Consul. Heston won an Oscar for his portrayal of Judah. "Ben-Hur" won a total of 11 Oscars, a record until "Titanic" equalled it.

2. "He killed them with the jawbone of an ass?"

Answer: Samson and Delilah

Spoken by the Saran of Gaza (George Sanders), who is incredulous that his Philistine soldiers were killed by just one man and the jawbone of an ass. A big hit in 1949, "Samson and Delilah" was directed by Cecil B. DeMille, who had an even bigger success in 1956 with "The Ten Commandments", a remake of his own 1923 silent epic.

3. "When I've finished with these Christians, history will never be sure that they ever truly existed!"

Answer: Quo Vadis

The mad Emperor Nero (Peter Ustinov) blaming the Christians for his burning of Rome. Charles Laughton played Nero in 1932's "The Sign of the Cross".

4. "No prisoners!"

Answer: Lawrence of Arabia

A battle cry from T.E. Lawrence (Peter O'Toole) in David Lean's multi-Oscar winning epic, "Lawrence of Arabia" won 7 Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director (David Lean). Peter O'Toole was nominated for Best Actor, losing to Gregory Peck for "To Kill a Mockingbird".

5. "He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy!"

Answer: Monty Python's The Life of Brian

A classic quote by Brian's mom from the hilarious "Monty Python" comedy. Brian, mistaken for the Messiah, finds people are following him everywhere. Eventually his angry mom tells them to "bugger off".

6. "Behold His mighty hand!"

Answer: The Ten Commandments

Moses (Charlton Heston) about to open the Red Sea, and lead his people to the Promised Land. This legendary sequence is still an eye-opener, nearly 50 years later. The story of Moses was recently remade as an animated musical "Prince of Egypt".

7. "I promise you the destruction of the slave army, and the restoration of order!"

Answer: Spartacus

Spoken by Crassus (Laurence Olivier), about to go to battle against Spartacus and his slave army. Stanley Kubrick directed "Spartacus", which remains one of the greatest epics of all time.

8. "Are you a dream Merlin?" "A dream to some, a nightmare to others!"

Answer: Excalibur

King Arthur (Nigel Terry) chatting with Merlin (Nicol Williamson) in John Boorman's excellent "Excalibur". The film made superb use of classical music by Richard Wagner and Carl Orff (Carmina Burana). Sean Connery recently played King Arthur in "First Knight".

9. "1,000 British soldiers have been massacred. While I stood here talking peace, a war has started."

Answer: Zulu

The Reverend Witt (Jack Hawkins), getting word of a Zulu massacre, hurries to Rourke's Drift to warn the British soldiers stationed there. In 1879, 130 British soldiers managed to hold off 4000 Zulu warriors at Rourke's Drift. More Victoria Crosses were awarded for this single engagement than any other.

Answer: Gladiator

A defiant Maximus (Russell Crowe) letting the evil Roman Emperor Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix) know exactly who he is and what he intends to do. Russell Crowe won the Best Actor Oscar for his performance as Maximus, the film also went on to win Best Picture.
