From Quiz 30 Days of Night

Answer: Barrow

As the prologue of the film states, Barrow, Alaska is the northernmost town in the United States and it's isolated in eighty miles of roadless wilderness, cut off every winter for thirty days of night. The film begins as Sheriff Eben Olemaun finds a pile of burned cell phones; someone seems to have stolen the town's devices and destroyed them for some purpose, and on the last day of sun before the town's thirty days of night. As people prepare to leave Barrow, the population drops from around 600 to 150, just enough to keep the town running during the dark month. Little do they know, someone is working against them, stranding them by killing their dogs and cutting all forms of communication.

From Quiz Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri

Answer: To put pressure on the local police

At first, Red Welby down at the Ebbing Advertising Company thinks that Mildred is crazy for her interest in the billboards, as no one drives down Drinkwater Road anymore since the freeway was installed. But he quickly understands after he reads what Mildred wants printed on the billboards. "I guess you're Angela Hayes' mother," he says as he reads the slips of paper that Mildred hands to him. "That's right," Mildred replies. "I'm Angela Hayes' mother." After the billboards go up, Mildred appears on the local news to describe her motivation. "My daughter, Angela, was abducted, raped and murdered seven months ago, along this self-same stretch of road here," she explains. "It seems to me the local police department is too busy going around torturing black folks to be bothered doing anything about solving actual crime. I thought these here billboards might concentrate their minds some." Deputy Dixon and Chief Bill Willoughby are watching the broadcast at home, stony-faced. "I don't know what the police are doing, to be honest with you," Mildred continues. "I do know that my daughter's burnt body is lying six feet underground, and all they're doing is eating Krispy Kremes and busting eight-year-olds for skating around parking lots." When the reporter asked her why she decided to single out Chief Willoughby, Mildred replies, "He's the head of them, ain't he? The buck's gotta stop somewhere." The billboards read: "Raped while dying", "And still no arrests?", and "How come, Chief Willoughby?" Needless to say, the local police are less than thrilled.

From Quiz 'This Means War' (2012)

Answer: Travel agent and cruise ship captain

The partners are undercover at a party when we learn about their false identities. FDR, played by Chris Pine, tells a woman at the party that he is a cruise ship captain and introduces Tuck as a travel agent. She asks FDR for 'permission to come aboard', which might (or might not) be a wink and nod to the fact that Chris Pine also played Captain James T. Kirk in some 'Star Trek' films.

From Quiz Three Days of the Condor

Answer: Turner

Joseph Turner (played by Robert Redford) is part of a CIA team working in New York City under the cover of being a group called the American Literary Historical Society. His work as a researcher is what triggers the events of the film, although we don't find out the details until much later - for much of the time, the viewer is just as mystified as the hero as to why this is all happening to him. The incorrect options are other members of the team.

From Quiz Take Me to "13 Rue Madeleine"

Answer: Documentary

The voice over in the introduction of the film gives a real life, documentary tone to the film. The choice of black and white film also adds to its 'real feel'. Throughout the film, the narrator intersperses information that moves the plot along and keeps us focused on the 'real life' effects the director desired.

From Quiz The Ealing Comedies - "The Titfield Thunderbolt"

Answer: Mallingford

In the opening scene the little branch line locomotive is waiting at Titfield station for local squire Gordon Chesterton, played by Ealing regular John Gregson, who wishes to travel to the market in nearby Mallingford; as the train departs, a member of the station staff affixes a poster to the notice board announcing that the line between Titfield and Mallingford has been selected for closure by the Ministry of Transport. Mallingford is also the venue for the public meeting at which the future of the line is discussed with a civil servant from the Ministry of Transport. In reality the village of Titfield takes its name from a combination of two villages in Surrey, Titsey and Limpsfield. Filming itself took place in the south western county of Somerset with the station in the village of Monkton Combe being used for those scenes that required a station setting; those scenes requiring a village setting being filmed at Freshford, a quaint village also located in Somerset.

One of the biggest names of the era, Errol Flynn was the swashbuckling star of such classics as 'The Adventures of Robin Hood' and 'The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex'. Oddly enough, though Flynn played a figure of the American old west, he was a native of Tasmania, Australia.

From Quiz "The Thrill Killers" - Maniacs on the Loose!

Answer: The Amazing Ormond

Billed as "America's Premier Hypnotist", the Amazing Ormond set the stage for the movie by explaining the process of "hallucinogenic hypnosis". Everytime a spinning hypno-disc would appear on the screen, the Amazing Ormond told the audience that they would see the face of one of the maniacs in the movie in the theatre among them. This was very true during the original run of the movie in many theatres. One of the gimmicks to "Hallucinogenic Hypnovision" was to have people wearing masks resembling the face of Cash Flagg's character move through the theatre or drive-in during those intervals, (hopefully) scaring folks.
