Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Author Chuck Palaniuk and director David Fincher?

Answer: Fight Club

A cult favorite, and a personal favorite of mine, Fight Club is a wonderful book. It is the first in a series of dark and cynical works from author Chuck Palahnuik. His other books include "Survivor", "Little Monsters", and "Lullaby".

2. Author Hunter S. Thompson and director Terry Gilliam?

Answer: Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

Hunter S. Thompson is one of the most controversial authors of our time. "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" is nothing short of revolutionary. If you haven't read it, I suggest you do. And then see the movie, it's just as amazing.

3. Author Anthony Burgess and director Stanley Kubrick?

Answer: A Clockwork Orange

"A Clockwork Orange" became an instant classic due to Burgess' brilliant originality and story-telling, and Kubrick's unbelievable technique and charisma. Although Burgess never gave authorization to Kubrick to adapt the book into the movie, the world of film wouldn't be the same without it.

4. Author James Elroy and director Curtis Hanson?

5. Author Stephen King and director Rob Reiner?

Answer: Misery

This film won its star, Kathy Bates, an Oscar for her brilliant performance. Her character Annie Wilkes is a manipulative and psychotic former nurse, whose obsession with a romance novelist (played by James Caan) makes the film a horrifying, but incredible story.
