Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Here are some films from the great American actor Marlon Brando. Which one was released first?

Answer: A Streetcar Named Desire

Arguably, this early 50s period represents his most powerful stretch of performances on-screen. 'Streetcar' was released in 1951. The other release dates: 'On The Waterfront'(1954), 'The Wild One'(1954), and 'Julius Caesar'(1953).

2. Here's a sampling from the popular actor, Harrison Ford. Which was released first?

Answer: Sabrina

These are mostly forgettable movies, and even 'Sabrina' (1995) is a remake of a better film starring Humphrey Bogart. Other release dates: 'The Devil's Own'(1997), 'Six Days, Seven Nights'(1998), and 'Random Hearts'(1999).

3. Here's the work from one of my favorite current actors, Nicolas Cage. Which movie was released most recently?

Answer: Leaving Las Vegas

Cage's performance as a soulful drunk who finds love in 'Leaving Las Vegas' (1995), garnered him the Academy Award for Best Actor. Other release dates: 'Red Rock West'(1992), 'Amos and Andrew'(1993), and 'Guarding Tess'(1994).

4. Now a few featuring Jodie Foster. Which film was released before the others?

Answer: Siesta

Released in 1987, this movie is really a B-rated mystery that, oddly enough, lines up some decent names like Martin Sheen, Gabriel Byrne, and Isabella Rossellini. Other dates: 'Sommersby'(1993), 'Nell'(1994), and 'Contact'(1997).

5. Whoo-wah! Here's a brief list from Al Pacino's voluminous career. Which movie was released most recently?

Michelle Pfeiffer starred alongside him in 1991's 'Frankie and Johnny' and previously in 1983's 'Scarface.' Other release dates: 'Sea of Love'(1989), 'Dick Tracy'(1990), and 'The Godfather, Part 3'(1990).

6. Here's some material from the {$20} Million Woman herself, Julia Roberts. Which was the earliest film release?

Answer: Flatliners

7. If you've ever played Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, then you will recognize these titles. Which was released first?

8. Well, excuuuuuse me, while we take a look at some Steve Martin movies. Which came last?

Answer: Dirty Rotten Scoundrels

'Dirty Rotten Scoundrels' (1988) also features Michael Caine, who probably should have fired his agent after seeing himself in the third Jaws sequel. The other releases: 'Three Amigos'(1986), 'Roxanne'(1987), and 'Planes, Trains, and Automobiles'(1987)
