Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. (1990) Peter, Michael and Jack are very happy helping Sylvia raise Mary. They live together and take their responsibilities very seriously. But things get complicated when Sylvia decides that she wants to get married and have more children. Since the man that she really loves, Peter, is very negative about marriage she convinces herself that she's in love with Edward. But Edward lives in England, and our three confirmed bachelors have to find a way to prevent the marriage, or risk never seeing Mary again.

Answer: Three Men and a Little Lady

Emile Ardolino directed, and Tom Selleck, Steve Guttenberg, Ted Danson and Nancy Travis starred. Robin Weisman was delightful as Mary and Christopher Cazenove was convincingly dislikeable as Edward.
In my humble opinion, this is one of the rare occasions where the sequel is better than the original. It's much more enjoyable without the silly drug subplot that's in the original.
2. (1991) Kathy Bates is an unhappy housewife who grows more self-accepting through the attentions of a young-at-heart senior, played by Jessica Tandy. Tandy entertains us all with flashback stories of her youth, when Idgie and Ruth ran the Whistle Stop Cafe and dealt with issues such as spousal abuse, racism and the KKK, and maybe even murder.

Answer: Fried Green Tomatoes

Jon Avnet directed, and Mary Stuart Masterson and Mary-Louise Parker starred as Idgie and Ruth respectively. I really believe that Jessica Tandy's character was really Idgie grown old.
3. (1991) Laura and Martin seem like the perfect couple, they're young, they're beautiful and their house is gorgeous. The only problem is, Martin is very controlling and beats Laura badly any time she displeases him. Laura knows that he would kill her before he lets her go, so she carefully makes her escape plans, waiting years until everything is perfect. She orchestrates an accident so that he thinks she is dead, lost at sea, and then slips away in the dead of the night to rebuild. She finds a new town, a new job, and a new life, and is even feeling safe enough to start a new relationship when Martin tracks her down.

Answer: Sleeping With the Enemy

Joseph Ruben directed Julia Roberts and Patrick Bergin as Laura and Martin. Kevin Anderson is charming as the new boyfriend. This was the movie that convinced me that Julia Roberts could really act.
4. (1991) Accompanied by his Moorish friend, he returns from the Crusades, only to find his father murdered, his family properties appropriated, and nothing the way he left it. Deep in the forest he finds a bunch of exiled villagers who he rallies into a band and teaches them how to fight back against the sheriff and his men.

Answer: Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves

Kevin Reynolds directed Kevin Costner, Morgan Freeman, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio and Christian Slater in this wonderful version of the age-old story. Alan Rickman is delightfully evil as the Sheriff and Sean Connery appears, uncredited, as King Richard returning from the Crusades.
5. (1991) Two friends try to leave their less-than-satisfying lives behind for a weekend of fun, but one of them shoots and kills a man while he's trying to rape her friend. The next thing they know they're running from the law in a '66 Thunderbird, heading for Mexico. Things go from bad to worse when a young Brad Pitt steals their cash and they have to resort to robbery, which only lets the police know where they are.

Answer: Thelma and Louise

Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis are fantastic in this powerful movie, directed by Ridley Scott.
6. (1991) Mike is a private detective trying to find the identity of a beautiful young woman who is suffering from amnesia. All he has to go on is the fact that she is plagued by nightmares of the murder of a famous pianist by her husband. This was a real incident that had happened years before. A local hypnotist offers his services, and it soon begins to look as if she is the pianist reborn and Mike is the murdering husband. Egged on by the hypnotist she becomes fearful that history is going to repeat itself, and Mike is going to kill her again...or is he?

Answer: Dead Again

Kenneth Branagh both starred and directed in this suspenseful mystery. Emma Thompson (Branagh's wife at the time) starred opposite him and Derek Jacobi played the hypnotist. Robin Williams has a small role as a bitter ex-psychiatrist who works in a meat cooler and offers free advice.
7. (1991) Peter is all grown up, with a family of his own to take care of, even if he's too busy to spend any time with them. When his children are kidnapped and Wendy tells him who he really is, he refuses to believe any of it, not even when a helpful little fairie knocks him off his feet and drags him away to the only place where he can save his children. But in order to save them he has to learn how to believe.

Answer: Hook

Steven Spielberg directs this delightful movie that is just chock full of cameo appearance. Robin Williams is perfect as Peter Pan, Dustin Hoffman makes an extraordinary Hook, and Julia Roberts twinkles as Tinkerbell.
8. (1991) The President has been assassinated and the world is blaming a single assassin. But District Attorney, Jim Garrison, stumbles upon some information that convinces him that there had to be a conspiracy, and it seemed to be somehow linked to his own city. Despite attempts to discredit him and frighten him off, he continues his investigation and lays charges against one man that he believes to be one of the conspirators. He loses his case, but forces people to look at the assassination in a new light. Name the movie based on a true story.

Answer: JFK

Oliver Stone directed and Kevin Costner starred as D.A. Jim Garrison, heading an all-star cast that included Sissy Spacek, Tommy Lee Jones, Kevin Bacon, and Gary Oldham to name a few.
9. (1992) Frank is a blind, retired Army Colonel, Charlie is a student trying to make a few extra bucks so he can get home for Christmas. So on Thanksgiving weekend Charlie accepts a job baby-sitting Frank, never suspecting that Frank is going to drag him off to New York for one last weekend of pleasure before killing himself.

Answer: Scent of a Woman

Al Pacino finally got a much deserved Oscar for his portrayal Of Colonel Frank Slade, under the direction of Martin Brest. Chris O'Donnell was wonderful as Charlie, the earnest young man whose integrity convinces Frank not to kill himself.
10. (1992) Two sisters, one married the other not, leave the family dairy farm to try out for the first female professional baseball league. The league only exists because the war is on and a lot of the male baseball players have enlisted.

Answer: A League of Their Own

Penny Marshall directed Geena Davis, Lori Petty, Madonna and Rosie O'Donnell, to name a few. Tom Hanks was absolutely wonderful as their manager, a drunk who starts off believing that girls can't play ball, but soon believes otherwise.
11. (1993) Tracy and Andy are a young married couple who have just bought their dream home and want nothing more in the world than to have a baby. To help pay for the renovations to their home they take in a border, Jed, a doctor that Andy knew from university. An emergency medical procedure causes the baby Tracy's carrying to abort, and leaves her unable to ever have children. When lab reports show that the removal of her ovaries wasn't necessary after all, she sues Jed, who took them out, and leaves Andy for giving permission for the surgery. Andy's devatated by all this until he learns that the baby Tracy was carrying couldn't possibly have been his. Further investigation reveals that he was set up from the very beginning.

Answer: Malice

Harold Becker directed and Alec Baldwin, Nicole Kidman and Bill Pullman star. Bebe Neuwirth plays a hard-bitten detective in a sub-plot involving the rape and murder of college students on the campus where Andy teaches.
12. (1993) Frank Horrigan is a Secret Service agent, one who was there on the day that Kennedy was assassinated. Now Mitch Leary, a former C.I.A. wetboy, is planning to assassinate another President and wants to turn it into a game, challenging Frank to stop the assassination.

Answer: In the Line of Fire

Wolfgang Petersen directed and Clint Eastwood, Rene Russo, John Malkovich and Dylan McDermott starred.
13. (1993) Richard came home late from performing surgery and found an intruder in his house.

No one believe his story about the one-armed man, and he is found guilty of her murder. While being transported to prison, an accident with the bus enables him to get free and he sets out to find the man who murdered his wife, with a very stubborn U.S. Marshal hot on his heels.

Answer: The Fugitive

Andrew Davis directed and Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones starred. This was one of the many movies that was based on an old television series.
14. (1993) They did it, using blood from mosquitoes trapped in amber, they have cloned these extinct monsters. But unfortunately the power went out and all their safeguards are gone. Now they find themselves trapped on an island with their creations, finding themselves falling into the category of prey.

Answer: Jurassic Park

Steven Spielberg directed this masterpiece starring Sam Neil, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum and Richard Attenborough. The scene where the T-Rex is attacking the jeep with the kids in it is one of the most terrifying scenes I have ever seen.
15. (1993) He's a musician who wants to be a star, she's got a voice that can take him there so he marries her. Unfortunately he hasn't got what it takes to be really great, even though she does. Addicted to cocaine and unable to compete, he starts to get ugly, beating her frequently. This is based on a true story of the life of one of my favourite singers, a woman who finally found the strength to leave and in leaving, found out what she was really worth.

Answer: What's Love Got to Do With It

Brian Gibson directs this story based on the life of Tina Turner. Angela Bassett delivers an incredible performance as Tina while Laurence Fishburn is suitably sleazy as her husband Ike.
