Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Wizard of Oz
Answer: Dorothy Gale
Judy Garland played the main character in the delightful 1939 film "The Wizard of Oz", based on the L. Frank Baum book published in 1900. Dorothy Gale (pun for storm wind?) gets caught up in a tornado that lands her and her dog, Toto, in the Land of Oz.
While following the Yellow Brick Road to the Emerald City to meet the Wizard, she encounters the Scarecrow, Tin Man and Cowardly Lion, and learns "there's no place like home".
2. Annie Hall
Answer: Alvy Singer
"Annie Hall" is the Academy Award winning Woody Allen film from 1977. Here we meet the quirky nightclub singer Annie Hall, played by Diane Keaton (nee Hall). Allen plays comedian Alvy Singer who breaks the fourth wall to tell us about his childhood, his anxieties, his take on modern romance and his relationship with Annie (with the wonderful lobster scene). Aside from winning the Oscar for Best Picture, Keaton won for Best Actress and Woody for Best Director.
3. Finding Nemo
Answer: Marlin
Albert Brooks was the voice of Nemo's dad, Marlin, in the animated 2003 movie "Finding Nemo". After losing his wife and most of his children, clown fish Marlin tends to be overprotective of his young son Nemo who has a foreshortened fin. Marlin's fears are realized when Nemo is caught by a diver and his adventures begin. With the help of his newfound and memory-challenged friend Dory, Nemo must deal with ocean dangers, while Marlin attempts to reunite with his son.
4. Rocky 4

For those who remember heavyweight champion Apollo Creed from the original "Rocky" in 1976, Carl Weathers is back as Creed in the 1985 movie "Rocky 4". By now Rocky (Sylvester Stallone) has plans to retire and live peacefully with Adrian ("Yo"). However, Apollo (who has become Rocky's friend) is beaten to death in an exhibition match with a huge Russian named Ivan Drago, forcing Rocky to rethink his retirement and face his friend's killer.
5. Beetlejuice
Answer: Lydia Deetz
In perhaps the first role to make Winona Ryder a household name, she appears in Tim Burton's 1988 movie "Beetlejuice". Ryder places Lydia Deetz, the teenage daughter of Delia and Charles Deetz who have bought the home of the now-deceased Adam and Barbara Maitland ("Topper" anyone?).
When Adam and Barbara's attempts to rid their home of the Deetz's are unsuccessful, they call upon the malicious spirit Betelgeuse (Michael Keaton) to assist them.

Answer: Craig Schwartz
Director Spike Jonze has created the truly bizarre 1999 movie "Being John Malkovich".
