Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What 1995 Todd Solondz film follows the trials and tribulations of a middle child who is taunted in junior high school?

Answer: 'Welcome to the Dollhouse'

The awkward protagonist, Dawn Wiener, is immediately dubbed 'Wiener Dog' by her classmates.

2. Warren Beatty starred as a reporter who stumbles onto a vast murderous conspiracy, and goes undercover in a company that recruits assassins, in what 1974 film?

Answer: 'The Parallax View'

Parallax is the name of the company that recruits assassins for some mysterious purpose. Hume Cronyn stars as Beatty's editor.

3. In which film do Cary Grant, as Nickie, an engaged playboy, and Deborah Kerr, as Terry, a witty singer, meet and fall in love on a cruise to New York?

Answer: 'An Affair To Remember'

A remake of 1939's 'Love Affair,' this film was remade as, uh, 'Love Affair' in 1994. Grant also played a guy named Nicky in 'My Favorite Wife.'

Answer: 'Nashville'

A tribute to the South and to old-time country folk, 'Nashville' is a complex, moving, and ultimately very human film, that tells a series of stories about American spirit.

5. Trey Parker and Matt Stone starred as two losers who invent a new game in this 1998 movie.

Answer: 'BASEketball'

Baseketball, of course, was a cross between basketball and baseball. Not being written by the comic geniuses Parker and Stone, this movie wasn't so great.

6. What 1999 comedy involved a trio of white collar workers --- Peter, Samir and Michael --- planning to embezzle their company out of millions of dollars?

Answer: 'Office Space'

Written and directed by Mike Judge, this dead-on parody of tedious and infuriating office life also starred Jennifer Aniston as the love interest.

7. Mark Wahlberg and Chow Yun-fat teamed up as cops trying to clean up a violent area of Chinatown in what 1999 film?

Answer: 'The Corruptor'

A fairly basic testosterone-fueled shoot-out with MTV-style directing. 'The Replacement Killers,' with Yun-fat and Mira Sorvino, at least tries to be clever.

8. What 1991 film starred Woody Allen and Bette Midler as a long-married and much-bickering couple of professionals in LA?

Answer: 'Scenes From a Mall'

I don't know which is more dubious: Allen and Midler as a married couple, or the neurotic New Yorker Allen as a pony-tailed LA sports agent who goes to malls.

9. When a Jewish man is murdered by one of three drunken soldiers, they each give different stories, 'Rashomon'-style, in what 1947 film starring Robert Michum?

Answer: 'Crossfire'

Interestingly, the original novel concerned homophobia rather than {anti-Semitism;} the subject was too hot for Hollywood then.

Answer: 'The Ipcress File'

This was followed by a couple of sequels. Thanks for playing the quiz! I assume you noticed that all the correct answers contain double consonants.
