Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which 1959 film included these supporting characters; Esther, Quintus Arrius, and Miriam?

Answer: Ben Hur

This famous, Charlton Heston historic epic won 11 Oscars. The set built for the scenes of Rome has been used for a number of films since 'Ben Hur', including Mel Gibson's 'The Passion of the Christ'.

2. Which 1995 film included these supporting characters; Dan Smithson, Preston Lennox and Dr. Laura Baker?

Answer: Species

This sci-fi film is about an alien species that escapes and has to be tracked down by a special group of agents. The alien in Species bears more than a passing ressemblance to the one in the Alien films, mainly because it was also designed by H.R.Giger.

3. Which 2000 film included these supporting characters; Scott Donlan, Hamilton Swan, and Stefan Vanderhoof?

Answer: Best In Show

Another great 'Mockumentry' from the same people who did 'This is Spinal Tap' and 'A Mighty Wind', this time set around a national dog show. The film is about the relationships between the owners and their dogs, and also with each other, both during and after the show.

4. Which 1993 film included these supporting characters; Dick Ritchie, Drexl Spivey, and Big Don?

Answer: True Romance

Written by Quentin Tarantino, this tale of newlyweds who steal from a Mafia Don has the added oddity of having Elvis (played by Val Kilmer) as their 'guardian angel'.

5. Which 1975 film included these supporting characters; Captain Moretti, Charlie the Handle and Jimmy The Bet?

Answer: Brannigan

In this late John Wayne film he plays an American cop, Jim Brannigan, who comes to London to bring back an American mobster being held by the British police. The mobster is kidnapped, which is set up by his lawyer, and Brannigan has to track him down.

6. Which 1993 film included these supporting characters; Charles Wheeler, Miguel Alvarez, and Judge Garnett?

Answer: Philadelphia

In this very moving film, Tom Hanks plays a gay lawyer stricken with AIDS, who goes to a homophobic personal injury attorney when he is sacked by his prestigious law firm for incompetence.

7. Which 1999 film included these supporting characters; Jelly, Tuna and Dr. Isaac Sobel?

Answer: Analyze This

This excellent comedy, starring Robert DeNiro and Billy Crystal, is about a Mafia Don who goes to a psychiatrist about his inner anger problems.

8. Which 1972 film included these supporting characters; Tom, Marcel, and TV cameraman?

Answer: Last Tango In Paris

This highly controversial (at the time) film stars Marlon Brando as an American living in Paris, trying to come to terms with his wife's recent suicide. He has a passionate affair with a young Parisian girl, played by Maria Schneider.

9. Which 2000 film included these supporting characters; Peoples Hernandez, Rasaan and Jimmy Groves?

Answer: Shaft

Samuel L. Jackson stars as the nephew of the original 1970's Shaft, who goes on a personal mission to track down a racially-motivated murderer who jumps bail.

10. Which 1996 film included these supporting characters; Gina Cardinale, Andy Warhol, and Big Pink?

Answer: Basquiat

This art history film seemed to disapear quite quickly and quietly, which is odd when you consider the cast included David Bowie (as Andy Warhol). It also had appearances by Dennis Hopper, Christopher Walken, Gary Oldman, Willem Defoe, Courtney Love and Tatum O'Neal.
