Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What a great way to start the day! Your morning clerk called off because her baby's sick and can't go to the day care center so you're stuck at the counter. So it goes. And here comes your first customer, bright eyed and bushy tailed. She's wanting a copy of that movie, made back in the late 60s, where there's a dance marathon and someone gets shot in the head at the end of it. Which movie does this gloomy Gus seek?
2. Next customer is a teenager who is popping his gum as he talks to you. How annoying! But you resist the temptation to yank the wad out of his mouth. "Dude," he says, "I want that film set in Savannah, Georgia where some rich guy shoots his boyfriend and gets away with it. There was a transsexual in it too". Yikes, you think. This one's a character! But you know what movie this rascal is looking for. Which of these is it?
3. The office just sent you a copy of your "Demographics Report". It shows that modern Horror films are the most popular genre in your store. You're thinking about rearranging the place. Which section do you put closest to the front?
4. If you have played my other quizzes in this series of mine you know there is one guy that hangs around who we employees dread. That darned mall Security Guy. Somebody's getting mugged in the parking lot and here he is with us thinking he's Alex Trebek. His next question is: In that movie "Carrie" in 1976 did the mother of one of those teenagers of the film (in real life) play her mother in it on screen?
5. It's almost lunch time and you're getting a tad hungry. The next customer, a nicely dressed woman, is waiting to get her pictures developed at the drug store down the way. She wants that movie where two drunkards hang out together (and might actually love each other -anyone's guess). She thinks she's a good singer and he used to be a pretty good baseball player. The fellow eventually buys his ex-wife a turkey in it and the supposed singer dies. You know this one. Which movie?
6. Your next customer claims to be a huge Richard Dreyfuss fan. He has seen almost all of them starring his idol, including his first film "The Graduate" in 1967. The customer is wondering if there were any other early ones that he might have missed. You look it up and discover a few titles that may not be so associated with the actor. Of the four listed, which one came out the earliest in Dreyfuss's career?
7. This jittery young fellow wants the film where Nicolas Cage is drinking himself to death and his companion, a troubled young woman with a dubious choice of career, is sticking by him as he does it. You know that a copy is on the shelf somewhere. Which rather desperately dark movie is he wanting to rent?
8. The next lady at the counter is a nervous wreck, the poor thing! Seems her VCR "ate" the tape she rented and it seems to be ruined but she hands you the broken thing. You calm her down and assure that it's OK. You'll just take a write-off on it; she won't have to pay for it. The movie that is busted is quite interesting. A young fellow has a rare brain disorder and is unable to form any new memories. The poor character is trying to chase down a murderer (not the easiest task when you have no memories...). Then, just to make it more perplexing, the movie starts at the end and works it way backwards to the beginning! Which movie?
9. Your next customer is returning a tape that is both on time and in good repair. Yay! This is one you've never taken the time to watch before, so you collect the box and refresh your memory about it. Ugly story, this one. Based on fact (with liberties) it's about two wandering gunmen who select a family to brutally murder. It was released in 1967. Which movie is this?
10. Hallelujah! Your afternoon clerk just showed up so you can go grab a bite now. While you munch on your Cobb Salad you browse through a book that became a movie that you know is available back at the store. Celie, Mister---, Sophia, Harpo, Nettie! They're all there as you read. Which book-turned-into-a-film are you dealing with?
