Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Michael J. Fox's first big movie blockbuster, co-starring Lea Thompson:

Answer: Back to the Future

Lea Thompson played Michael J. Fox's mother in a time-traveling twist.

2. Lea Thompson co-starred with Eric Stoltz and Mary Stuart Masterson in this classic teen flick:

Answer: Some Kind of Wonderful

Personally, I doubt that Eric Stoltz' character would really have chosen Mary Stuart Masterson's freakish tomboy over Lea Thompson's pretty little rich girl, but, it's the movies.

3. Mary Stuart Masterson, in another tomboy turn, co-starred with Mary Louise Parker in this flashback film featuring Jessica Tandy and Kathy Bates:

Answer: Fried Green Tomatoes

"I'm older and I have more insurance" will always be one of my favorite movie lines.

4. Mary Louise Parker and Whoopi Goldberg look for new perspective in this bittersweet ladies' adventure flick:

Answer: Boys on the Side

What a bizarre threesome assembled in this one.

5. Whoopi Goldberg channels Patrick Swayze to Demi Moore in this modern-day classic:

Answer: Ghost

I thought this was a good but somewhat overrated film. Whoopi, however, was comedically brilliant.

6. Demi Moore and Rob Lowe are two of a gang of seven coming to terms with adulthood in:

Answer: St. Elmo's Fire

One of my top five films of all time, this was brilliantly cast and expertly performed--and probably more than a little close to home for much of the cast.

7. Shortly before that film, Rob Lowe and fellow brat packer Ally Sheedy made a film about crew racing across The Pond. It was:

Answer: Oxford Blues

I loved this movie, but it wasn't exactly a critical success. One of Ally's better ones, I thought.

8. Ally Sheedy's career really took off with this computer movie starring Matthew Broderick:

Answer: WarGames

My second favorite movie of all time. The technology seems so dated now, but it was so state-of-the-art in 1983!

9. Matthew Broderick was the title character and Alan Ruck played the best friend in this mid-80s comedic teen adventure about skipping school:

Answer: Ferris Bueller's Day Off

One of those movies you can watch again and again and be jealous of his chutzpah--and his day off--every time.

10. To connect that string of movies with Michael J. Fox's TV career, Alan Ruck co-starred as a slightly daft and occasionally scary coworker of Michael J. Fox in what ABC comedy?

Answer: Spin City

I was never much of a devotee of the show, but the cast always impressed me. Charlie Sheen held up well as a replacement lead, but Michael J. Fox was truly inimitable. Thanks for playing!
