The Film History of Brad Pitt Trivia Quiz

Answer: The Dark Side of the Sun

The 1988 movie starred Pitt as a looking for a cure for a rare skin disease. Of course he finds much more on the way.

Answer: J.D.

Brad's portrayal of the young, cowboyish love interest of the Geena Davis character, Thelma, officially established him as a Hollywood star. J.D. steals Thelma's life savings after a sexy encounter between the characters. Some fans argue that Brad Pitt stole the film with his relatively bit performance.

Answer: Johnny Suede

This 1991 Pitt vehicle, which also featured an appearance by Samuel Jackson, was not Brad Pitt's best work. But, fortunately for Pitt, it was released in the same year as 'Thelma & Louise' and hence largely went forgotten.

Answer: Robert Redford

Based on an autobiographical story by Norman Maclean, this beautiful film also featured Craig Sheffer (as Norman Maclean) and Tom Skerritt as Reverend Maclean, the father of the Maclean boys. Brad's character was named Paul Maclean.

Answer: Harvey Keitel

It would be impossible to suggest that Pitt 'stole the show' in this film, simply because there were so many excellent performances. Gary Oldman's performance as Drexl Spivey, Walken's turn as Vincenzo Coccotti and Slater's portrayal of the lead character, Clarence Worley, were also quite memorable.

The film also featured good performances by Dennis Hopper, Val Kilmer, Samuel Jackson, Bronson Pinchot, Michael Rapaport, James Gandolfini, Chris Penn and Tom Sizemore...wow!

Answer: No

Brad Pitt portrays Louis de Pointe du Lac, the main character of the cult-classic novel written by Anne Rice. Lestat is portrayed interestingly by Tom Cruise. Kirsten Dunst, Antonio Banderas and Christian Slater also play key roles in the film.

Answer: Yes

Indeed, he has. Fincher also directed the 1999 film 'Fight Club', featuring Pitt alongside his alter-ego, played by Ed Norton. In 'Se7en', Pitt is cast alongside the excellent actors Morgan Freeman and Kevin Spacey.

Answer: Seven Years in Tibet

The film 'Seven Years in Tibet' was based on the autobiographical book written by Austrian mountain climber Heinrich Harrer, a man who befriended the Dalai Lama during the 1940s. The movie is beautifully directed by Jean-Jacques Annaud, but it doesn't quite stand up against the Martin Scorcese-directed 'Kundun', which I preferred.

Answer: Sleepers

Brad Pitt joins an all-star cast with his portrayal of the adult Michael Sullivan, one of four men who, as a boy, was abused terribly in a boys detention center. Though the film never made it to 'blockbuster' status, I think it's quite a good film and worth the watch...especially for the performance of Kevin Bacon.

Answer: A boxing gypsy

Brad Pitt's 'gypsy' accent is almost indecipherable in this film, which is perfectly acceptable so far as I am concerned. The key was not to understand what Brad's character (Mickey O'Neil) says, but rather to observe the manner in which he delivers his lines. Supposedly, Guy Ritchie created this character specifically to annoy those who complained about the difficulty in understanding the speech of his films' characters. Let that be a lesson to you! Thank you for playing this quiz, I hope you enjoyed it and will try some of my other stuff.
