These Song Titles Are Also Movie Titles! Quiz

Answer: Homeward Bound

"Homeward Bound," released in the US in 1966, is the correct answer. It was from Simon and Garfunkel's album "Sounds of Silence." The movie of the same name was released in 1963 and remade in 1993. In it, two dogs and a cat are separated from their owners and must travel home.

Answer: Signs

These are all movies starring Mel Gibson but only one matches a Creed song. "Signs" is the fourth track from Creed's album "Weathered". It was their third album and my personal favorite. The movie "Signs" was directed by M. Night Shyamalan. It also starred Joaquin Phoenix and was Abigail Breslin's first screen credit.

Answer: Psycho

Muse's 2015 album called "Drones" featured the song "Psycho". It was the third track on the English rock band's seventh effort. Alfred Hitchcock directed the film "Psycho," adapted from a book written by Robert Bloch.

Answer: Unstoppable

"Unstoppable" stars Denzel Washington and Chris Pine; a runaway train holding toxic chemicals is the obstacle that must be overcome. It was director Tony Scott's final movie before his death. "Unstoppable" by Sia is from her album called "This is Acting," a compilation of songs rejected by other artists. The song was featured by Major League Baseball during the 2016 postseason.

Answer: Eleanor Rigby

The Beatles have many songs that are also movies, including "Eight Days a Week" and "A Hard Day's Night". However, "Eleanor Rigby" is not the name of any movie. "Can't Buy Me Love," a romantic comedy, starred a young Patrick Dempsey! "P.S. I Love You" is a drama starring Gerard Butler.

Another drama is "Across the Universe". It is set in the 1960s and, unsurprisingly, features many Beatles songs.

Answer: Gimme Shelter

"Gimme Shelter" is a movie starring Vanessa Hudgens and Rosario Dawson. It's a drama about a runaway teen who gets pregnant and, well, seeks shelter. The Rolling Stones released "Gimme Shelter" in the US in 1969. Merry Clayton sung backup vocals-pregnant and in the middle of the night! She got out of bed and recorded her parts, then left and went back to bed.

Answer: Space Cowboy

"Space Cowboy" by Steve Miller Band is from their album called "Brave New World". It has appeared on their greatest hits albums as well. The movie "Space Cowboys" is a 2000 drama starring Donald Sutherland, Tommy Lee Jones, James Garner, and Clint Eastwood, who also directed it. Steve Miller's song is not on the soundtrack; however, the movie ends appropriately with Frank Sinatra's song "Fly Me to the Moon" playing.

Answer: Golden Years

Okay, technically "Golden Years" was a miniseries, but you get the point. It was written by Stephen King and aired on CBS in 1991. Sadly, it was canceled before it got a real ending. Its credits used David Bowie's "Golden Years" song. David Bowie released his song in the US in 1976.

Answer: Stand By Me

All of these are both books and movies, but "Stand By Me" is a real song. It was sung by Ben E. King in 1961, inspired by a spiritual by Sam Cooke. The movie "Stand By Me" is based on a novella by Stephen King called "The Body". The movie is a coming-of-age tale in which Richard Dreyfuss briefly appears.

Answer: Godzilla

Oh, no! They say he's got to go! Yes, Blue Oyster Cult has a song called "Godzilla," just like the movie. The song "Godzilla" was from their album "Spectres". The original "Godzilla" movie dates back to 1954 and has the Guinness World Record for longest-running movie franchise! Oh no, there goes Tokyo!
