5. In which movie do you see a man sitting in a shed, wrapping himself in clingfilm, and eating a Mars bar?

Answer: The Full Monty

Dave (played by Mark Addy) has heard that women use something similar to clingfilm at beauty salons to shed pounds overnight. He is very selfconscious about his waistline. As he has agreed to be part of the strip act his friends are doing to earn money he puts the clingfilm theory to the test! Just one of the many funny parts of this English comedy made in 1997.

6. Which movie shows the life of a man who thinks he is living a perfectly normal life, but he is actually living in a gigantic studio and is the star of a television series?

Answer: The Truman Show

'The Truman Show' portrayed the 'reality tv' shows (such as 'Big Brother') on a much grander scale. The studio was a dome and had 50,000 cameras watching Truman Burbank's every move. Jim Carrey played the lead role in this movie.

7. In which film did Marvin have his ear cut off?

Answer: Reservoir Dogs

Mr. Blonde was the guy who severed Martin's ear. I could never watch that scene even though you don't really see anything! Did you know that Quentin Tarantino wrote all four of the films given as answers?

8. What is the name of Richard Gere's character in the film 'Pretty Woman'?

Answer: Edward Lewis

This 1990 romantic classic was the ultimate fairy tale for most women out there! I think it was the shopping spree that did it for me! :-)

9. In which film do two men have to track down an intergalatic terrorist to prevent the destruction of earth?

Answer: Men in Black

Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith took the lead roles. In one scene there are aliens who have packed their bags and are getting ready leave earth before it is destroyed. In this scene they are singing a song. This is the 'Betelgeuse Death Anthem' which was also in the television version of 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.'

10. In which blockbuster would you find actress Kathy Bates playing the character Molly Brown?

Answer: Titanic

All of the films starred Kathy Bates. In my opinion, she is a fantastic actress. The lead roles in the film were played by Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. The film swept up at the 1998 Oscars, receiving eleven Oscars in total.

11. In this film Jim Carrey plays the part of Stanley Ipkiss. What is the film?

Answer: The Mask

A clever combination of human and cartoon characters. Cameron Diaz played the role of love interest, Tina Carlyle. This was her first ever movie role.

12. Which film is part historical, part mythological, about a common man who fights for his country's freedom from English rule around the 13th century?

Answer: Braveheart

'Aye, fight and you may die, run, and you'll live...at least a while. And dying in your deathbeds, many years from now, wouldn't you be willing to trade all of that from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take away our lives, but they'll never take away our freedom.'

13. In the 1999 film 'The Sixth Sense', what is the name of the child psychologist played by Bruce Willis?

Answer: Malcolm Crowe

In 2000, the film was nominated for six Oscars. One of the Oscars was for the Best Actor in a Supporting Role. Haley Joel Osment was nominated for this for his portrayal of Cole Sear.

14. In 'The Silence of the Lambs', what is the name of the FBI agent played by Jodie Foster?

Answer: Clarice Starling

Anthony Hopkins as Dr. Hannibal Lecter will probably be one of the most remembered roles in film history. He was intriguing yet disturbing and always commanded your attention when he was on the screen. A quote; 'A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti.'

15. Which 1993 film was directed by Steven Spielberg?

Answer: Jurassic Park

All of the above were by Spielberg, ranging from 1989 to 1998. Thank you for playing my quiz. I hope it has brought back many memories! Please feel free to check out my other movie quizzes!
