Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. I can do a lot of interesting things with my feet including brush my teeth. I'm a compulsive liar and I have nothing better to do on a Saturday than hang out in detention. Who am I?

Answer: Allison Reynolds

Ally Sheedy plays this character in "The Breakfast Club". In addition to brushing her teeth, Allison also admits that she can eat and play "Heart and Soul" on the piano with her feet. When the group is finally getting along and sharing with each other as to why they are in detention, Allison asks "Do you want to know what I did to get in here? Nothing. I didn't have any else better to do."
2. What character says: "What kind of a host invites you to his house for the weekend and dies on you?"

Answer: Larry Wilson

Andrew McCarthy plays Larry Wilson in "Weekend at Bernie's" Jonathan Silverman plays his friend and co-worker Richard Parker. They are invited by their boss for what they think is a weekend getaway, when the boss, Bernie is in fact setting them up to be killed. When Bernie's partner ends up getting him killed, Larry and Richard have to make it look like Bernie is still alive all weekend.
3. My friends and I are recent college grads just trying to find our place in the world. They're all worried about me because I'm sleeping with my boss, and one of them helps me when I try to kill myself. Who am I?

Answer: Jules

Demi Moore plays the character Jules in "St. Elmo's Fire". Her friend who helps her out Billy is played by Rob Lowe. He tells her "Jules, ya know, honey... this isn't real. You know what it is? It's St. Elmo's Fire. Electric flashes of lights that appear in dark skies out of nowhere. Sailors would guide entire journeys by it, but the joke was on them... there was no fire.

There wasn't even a St. Elmo. They made it up. They made it up because they thought they needed it to keep them going when times got tough, just like you're making up all of this. We're all going through this.

It's our time at the edge."
4. I have a quirky and unique fashion sense, work in a record store and my very weird best friend is in love with me. Who am I?

Answer: Andie

I'm sure everyone taking this quiz knows that Molly Ringwald played Andie in "Pretty in Pink." However, for all you die hard 80s fans, I wonder how many of you realize that Kristy Swanson made her movie debut as the girl that Duckie flirts with at the Prom after Andie runs off to get Blaine. I believe she was actually credited as "Duckett".
5. I'm sixteen. My twin sister is a do-gooder and I'm the slacker. My two best friends convince me to take my grandfather's Cadillac for a joy ride and, oh yeah I don't have a license.

Answer: Les

Corey Haim plays Les with his long time co-star Corey Feldman who plays Dean in "License to Drive". After Les gets caught lying about passing his driver's test, they, along with their third cohort Charles, played by Michael Manasseri, sneak Les' grandfather's Cadillac out of the garage to impress his date Mercedes.

When everything goes wrong, they spend the night just trying to get themselves and the car back in one piece without getting caught by Les' parents, or the police, for driving without a license.
6. I'm trying to learn to defend myself against a bunch of bullies and my teacher has some unorthodox but effect training techniques.

Answer: Daniel LaRusso

Ralph Macchio plays Daniel in "The Karate Kid". Ralph also plays Daniel in the second and third installment of the series. In each movie he has to overcome some battle with the help of his instructor and friend Mr. Miyagi, played by Pat Morita. Mr. Miyagi insists on teaching Daniel karate through completing household chores.
7. I'm a struggling artist who falls in love with a woman who is only alive when I'm the only one looking. Who am I?

Answer: Jonathan Switcher

Andrew McCarthy plays Jonathan Switcher in "Mannequin". He is a struggling artist who takes a job doing window displays at a department store. A mannequin, played by Kim Kattrall, comes to life and helps him create the best window display in the city, forcing the store's competition to get mad.
All of the other character names were also play by McCarthy in other movies.
8. I am most commonly known as Duckie but what is my real name?

Answer: Phil Dale

Jon Cryer plays Phil aka Duckie in "Pretty in Pink". He's the awkward best friend to lead Andie, played by Molly Ringwald. Throughout the movie he tries to convince Andie not to date Blaine, played by Andrew McCarthy because he wants her for himself.
9. In "The Outsiders" many of the characters have unusual names including Sodapop and Cherry. What is Emilio Estevez's character's name?

Answer: Two-Bit

This was Emilio's second major motion picture. He and the rest of his "greaser" friends are at constant battle with the Socials "socs". This gets out of hand when two of the greasers are jumped by a group of Socs and a Soc accidentally gets killed.
Estevez's first credited role in a movie was Johnny Collins in the movie "Tex" which also starred Matt Dillon, who played Dallas in "The Outsiders" with him.
10. My call sign is Maverick but what is my real name?

Answer: Pete Mitchel

Tom Cruise plays Pete "Maverick" Mitchel in "Top Gun". He is the "I'm going to do it my way regardless of the rules" pilot in the movie. He and his co-pilot, "Goose" played by Anthony Edwards catch a break when another fighter pilot drops out of his spot at the "Top Gun Academy" and they get it.
