1. Janey Briggs was walking down the stairs, in one scene from "Not Another Teen Movie", when they collapsed and she fell into the basement. Prior to this event, who assisted in giving Janey a new look?

Answer: Catherine

Janey (Chyler Leigh) played the awkward girl who Jake (Chris Evans) agreed to take to the prom, after making a bet with his friends. She was considered a loser because she wore glasses and a pony tail. Jake's sister Catherine (Mia Kirshner) helped to change her look under the condition that Jake do something for her in return. This scene in the movie was reminiscent of part of the story in the 1999 film "She's All That".

"Not Another Teen Movie" was a 2001 parody of several teen movies dealing with the every day hurdles teenagers have to face.

Chyler Leigh played June Tuesday on the short-lived 2002 series "That '80s Show". Chris Evans played Johnny Storm in the 2004 film "Fantastic Four". Mia Kirshner played Jenny Schecter in the cable television series "The L Word".

Answer: Delbert Grady

"The Shining" was about a married couple who agreed to take care of a hotel while it was closed for the winter. Jack (Jack Nicholson) and Wendy (Shelley Duvall), along with their young son Danny (Danny Lloyd), had to deal with frightening events in a hotel which was haunted as a result of murders which had taken place there years before. It didn't help matters when Jack started losing his mind and decided to go on his own murder spree. He snapped and went after Wendy. She was protecting herself with a baseball bat, which Jack was trying to take from her as they climbed the stairs. After a few swings, she finally connected and Jack went sprawling downward.

Delbert Grady (Philip Stone) was the caretaker for the Overlook Hotel many years earlier. He murdered his wife and twin daughters before shooting himself in the head. His ghost came to Jack and influenced him to try and do the same.

Answer: Two foot salami

"A naked blonde walks into a bar with a poodle under one arm and a two foot salami under the other..." was all John (Judd Nelson) said before being interrupted by falling through the ceiling tiles.

"The Breakfast Club" was about five students who had to spend Saturday in school detention, as punishment for whatever each of them had done to get into trouble. This 1985 film was directed by John Hughes. It also starred Ally Sheedy, Molly Ringwald, Emilio Estevez and Anthony Michael Hall.

"Detroit Rock City" was about four teens who do anything to get into a Kiss concert. The tickets they originally had were set on fire by Jam's mother (Lin Shaye) because she thought the rock group were Satanic.

Answer: Dan Fogelberg

The guys were sitting on the roof so they could have a better view of the game. "BASEketball" was about two guys named Coop (Trey Parker) and Remer (Matt Stone) who invented a sport combining baseball and basketball. Millionaire Ted Denslow (Ernest Borgnine) was talking to Coop about taking the game national, because it could be played by anyone. He was talking about the attention span most people had in this day and age and said, "You kids today with your video games and your Dan Fogelberg." Coop looked puzzled by this comment.

The movie came out in 1998. The last time mellow singer Dan Folgelberg had a hit single was 1988. It was called "Seeing You Again" and reached #15 on the U.S. charts, according to "Billboard" magazine.

After Scott (Tim Allen) delivered presents in Santa's place, his son Charlie (Eric Lloyd) became fascinated with his father's new job. Everybody was concerned with Charlie's unbelievable story of how he traveled to the North Pole with his dad, and a conference was held with the school principal. Charlie's stepfather Neil (Judge Reinhold) asked Scott what he and Charlie had did that Christmas Eve and Scott was simply making smart remarks. He eventually fessed up that he had read Charlie a story before bedtime. Scott didn't tell the truth because he didn't believe it himself at first.

Tim Allen was the star of the very popular television sitcom "Home Improvement" from 1991 to 1999. He also supplied the voice for Buzz Lightyear in the 1995 movie "Toy Story".

By the way, actor Eric Lloyd portrayed Kevin Arnold in flashback scenes in the T.V. series "The Wonder Years" (1988-1993).

Answer: Marathon

Neal (Steve Martin) walked up to the car rental desk, wet and dirty after his walk down a highway and across a runway, and the receptionist said, "Welcome to Marathon. May I help you?" He was pretty irate with his previous misfortunes and let many expletitives fly, which are unprintable on this site.

"Planes, Trains And Automobiles" was about a guy trying to get home for Thanksgiving. Thanks to bad weather, he had trouble making it on time. He also met up with an annoying salesman named Dale Griffith (John Candy) who accompanied him on most of the trip. The pair had several unfortunate, but hilarious, things happen to them along the way. This film was released in 1987.
