Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. At number 30 is a film produced and directed by Warren Beatty. He also played the title role and Madonna provided the love interest and sang the songs. Which film am I referring to?

Answer: Dick Tracy

"Dick Tracy" was an adaptation of a 1930's comic strip of the same name.

2. A 1991 Bruce Willis oddity was at number 36. Which movie was directed by Michael Lehman, and also featured Danny Aiello and James Coburn?

Answer: Hudson Hawk

Bruce Willis described "Hudson Hawk" as - "Cary Grant meets James Bond meets 'Our Man Flint' meets 'The Flintstones' meets Dorothy Lamour meets Miles Davis". Huh?

3. At number 21 a "Mad About You" star chases a lot of wind around the USA countryside. Which movie is this?

Answer: Twister

Director Jan de Bont is more famous for "Speed", but also went on to make the unforgettable "The Haunting".

4. At number 15 Warren Beatty (again!) and Dustin Hoffman stagger around the desert in which 1987 disaster?

Answer: Ishtar

This film cost $50 million and only grossed $4 million. Ouch!

5. Horror-director Roger Corman was the originator of the story of the film at number 12, set almost entirely on water. Which movie is it?

Answer: Waterworld

"Waterworld" was directed by two Kevins, namely Kevin Coster and Kevin Reynolds and co-written by David Twohy of "Pitch Black" fame.
"Waterworld" is filled with plotholes: Why is everyone so muddy with all the water around? Where does baddie Dennis Hopper get his cigarettes when there is no land to grow tobacco?

6. At number 8 was a film that won eleven Oscars, and made in excess of $1.5 billion! But which one is it?

Answer: Titanic

A tragic true story wasted by focussing instead on a fictional love story. By the way, what DID happen to those Monet paintings?

Answer: Pearl Harbor

Home-girl Charlize Theron very wisely declined a role in this movie.

8. At number 3 was an adaptation of a L. Ron Hubbard novel. Which movie am I talking about?

Answer: Battlefield Earth

"Battlefield Earth" reportedly cost $73 million and made a paltry $21 million. Guess we won't be seeing a sequel anytime soon then?

Answer: The Avengers

The script was allegedly inspired by Shakespeare's "The Tempest".

10. Named the worst blockbuster ever made, it features a cool Arnold Schwartzenegger in his worst role ever. Which movie is it?
