Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The first time my friends and I were allowed to catch a bus into the city center on our own we went to see "Spartacus". I remember that Jean Simmons played the female lead and Tony Curtis was also in it, but who played the title role?
2. I remember this movie because it was the one I went to on my first real date. Appropriately enough, it was called "The Young Ones". The stars were Cliff Richard and The Shadows. Who played the female lead?
3. I can't say I remember the next film because I slept through it. I had been working shift work and really needed to sleep, but this cool guy asked me to go to movies with him. It featured The Beatles, so I figured the music would keep me awake, and I thought the title was rather appropriate considering my work load. What was the name of the film?
4. The first film I went to see once I was married was a "mascara disaster". I cried buckets. The film was made in 1966 and starred Lana Turner. Rich boy marries low class girl, mother-in-law does not approve and blackmails girl into disappearing, leaving her husband and son to think she is dead. Years later she is charged with murder and the court appoints a defense attorney who happens to be her long-lost son. Name the film.
5. Once a baby came along our movie going was limited to the drive-in cinema. Baby would always be asleep in the back seat before the feature started so we had no qualms about seeing psychological horror films until, halfway through, we noticed a wide eyed toddler sitting up watching.
The movie was directed by Roman Polanski and starred Mia Farrow and John Cassavetes. Which of the following was it?
6. The next movie I need to remember starred Anne Bancroft, Shirley MacLaine and Mikhail Baryshnikov. Shirley MacLaine's character leaves the ballet company to have a family while Anne Bancroft's character remains and becomes a prima ballerina. Years later, Shirley MacLaine's daughter joins the same company and becomes involved with Yuri (Mikhail Baryshnikov).
My granddaughter is an aspiring ballerina and I would like to suggest she see this film. What was it called?
7. The movie "Dr. Zhivago" sticks in my mind because we went to see in in the middle of winter and some of those scenes in the snow did nothing to warm me up. Who was the director?
8. I remember "Avatar" for no better reason than I just have not forgotten it.
Unobtanium,a precious metal, is being mined on a satellite of a gas giant in the Alpha Centauri system. What was the name of the moon?
9. I can remember the film "Eraser" because I watched it so recently on TV. A U.S. marshal working for the Witness Security Protection Program fakes the deaths of witnesses to keep them safe. John Kruger, the marshal, is played by that foreign born bodybuilder who became a state governor in 2003. Help me recall his name.
10. I'm not allowed to forget "As Good as It Gets" as it is my husband's favorite of all time. It stars Jack Nicholson as a novelist who has issues with women and gays, and has OCD. Helen Hunt is the unmarried mother of a son who has severe asthma. What is the name of Jack Nicholson's character?
