Movies You Should Have Seen (& Liked) Quiz

Answer: A Few Good Men

This is a great legal drama centering on the court martial of two marines charged with the murder of another cadet. He died as a result of a hazing incident which the defendants claim they were ordered to do which their superior officers deny. Lt. Kaffee (Tom Cruise) says this line to Lt. Galloway (Demi Moore) after their defense of the two defendants has taken an awful turn.

This is a very entertaining drama from 1992. Even though it is a drama, there are quite a few funny lines throughout the movie.

Answer: Rain Man

Charlie (Tom Cruise) is clearly irritated with his autistic brother Raymond (Dustin Hoffman) for repeating the "Who's on First" routine over and over with absolutely no timing or emotion (because of his autism, which Charlie doesn't really understand). This movie won the Best Picture Oscar in 1988.

Answer: The Wizard of Oz

1939 children's classic. This line is spoken by Dorothy (Judy Garland) after the Wicked Witch of the West asks her if she killed the Wicked Witch of the East (her sister).

Answer: Monty Python and the Holy Grail

This movie came out in 1975 and is funny, quotable lines from beginning to end. It seems people either think this is one of the funniest movies ever made or the stupidest there is really no in between for this type of humor. This particular line is the Swamp King speaking to the wedding party and guests after they shout that Launcelot has killed the bride's father. Sir Launcelot had just stormed the castle and hacked his way through the crowd under the mistaken belief that he was rescuing a princess, when it was really a prince who had sent out a message about being forced to marry against his will.

Answer: The Godfather

1972 Best Picture, about the rise of Vito Corleone from a poor immigrant boy to a powerful mob boss and his loyalty to his family. These quotes are Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) discussing his father's business with Kay Adams (Diane Keaton), who becomes his wife.

Answer: The Lion King

Scar, voiced by Jeremy Irons, speaks this line as he is about to eat the mouse which he caught at the beginning of the movie. Fortunately for the mouse, Zazu shows up and distracts Scar, causing him to drop the mouse. This movie, which came out in 1994, is one of the few animated films that has it all: a great dramatic story line, very funny and likeable characters and great songs throughout.

Answer: Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

A 1969 movie, very loosely based (the story is mostly factual, but the dialogue, etc. is mostly fiction) on the story of two famous western outlaws. Butch (Paul Newman) says this to Sundance (Robert Redford) right before the knife fight with Harvey over control of their gang.

A very funny scene where Butch kicks Harvey in the crotch right after he gets Harvey to say there are no rules in a knife fight.

Answer: Rocky

1976 Oscar Winner. Rocky (Sylvester Stallone) is saying this quote while punching the bag after his trainer, Mickey told him that he needs to stay away from women while training because "women weaken legs." This movie, unlike all the sequels, was a very engaging story with wonderful acting.

Answer: A Christmas Story

The very funny story of Ralphie and his quest to get a BB gun for Christmas, despite warnings from almost everyone "you'll shoot your eye out". This particular quote comes when Ralphie says "Oh..."while trying to help his father change a flat tire, and accidentally spills all of the lug nuts in the snow.

This movie is full of very funny scenes, like one of Ralphie's friends sticking his tongue to a flag pole, and getting it stuck there, during recess at school in the winter.

Answer: Jaws

1975. Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss) says this quote to Sheriff Brody after examining the remains of the body found on shore. The end of this quote is "It was a shark!" This movie is a lot like "Rocky" in the sense that they are terrific movies that are probably underrated today because of the many sequels, most of them very bad, that followed each of them.
