Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Here is a 2009/1994 George Clooney movie where he plays a man who flies from company to company to terminate the jobs of people. He flies to Africa to fire Kevin Bacon from his basketball coaching job.

Answer: Up In The Air Up There

George Clooney received an Oscar nomination for his performance of professional 'job terminator' Ryan Bingham in "Up in the Air". Kevin was not so lucky, as the movie "The Air Up There" is not the type that draws Oscar buzz. But his portrayal of up-and-coming basketball coach Jimmy Dolan was satisfactory.
2. This is a 1998/2008 Michael Keaton movie where he plays the character who personifies winter, and his dilemma is that of giving the first interview to the recently resigned U.S. President, played by Frank Langella.

Answer: Jack Frost Nixon

"Jack Frost" was a family comedy starring Michael Keaton where he plays a dad who gets a second chance to connect with his family as Jack Frost.

Answer: No Country For Old Men in Black

"No Country for Old Men" finally broke the seal for the Coen Brothers and the Best Picture Oscar in 2007. "Men in Black" only won an Oscar for Makeup, but the half a billion worldwide gross, and a successful sequel eases the pain of not matching the Best Picture honors of "No Country". Something to think about: what would "Men in Black" have been like if it starred Clint Eastwood and Chris O'Donnell in the leads? Those were the original choices, but both turned it down.
4. This is a 1999/1995 Bruce Willis/Haley Joel Osment film, based on the Jane Austen book of the same name, where Osment sees Emma Thompson, Kate Winslet, and dead people.

Answer: The Sixth Sense and Sensibility

"The Sixth Sense" was M. Night Shyamalan's first and arguably best movie, with Bruce Willis trying to unfold Haley Joel Osment's ability to see ghosts.

Answer: A Single Man On the Moon

Colin gave a brilliant subdued performance on "A Single Man" in 2009. And while Jim Carrey received a Golden Globe Award for his portrayal of Andy Kaufman in "Man On the Moon", he received no nomination from the Academy Awards. This same feat happened to Carrey on the release of "The Truman Show".
6. This film is a Kirsten Dunst 2000/1954 movie, where she joins a high school cheerleading squad. Her nemesis from the rival school is a washed-up boxer played by Marlon Brando. Maybe Kirsten coulda been a contender, too.

"Working Girl" had some stellar acting performances from Ford, Sigourney Weaver, and Melanie Griffith, who made it to the A-list with her seductive performance of Tess McGill. And "Girl With a Pearl Earring" featured Colin Firth and Scarlett Johannson in a painful, sensual back-and-forth of sexual tension set in the 1600s.
8. This is a Christina Ricci 1998/2008 movie, where she becomes pregnant by her gay half-brother's lover, then tries to solve the situation by asking the advice of a New York newspaper columnist, played by Sarah Jessica Parker, and Sarah's three Manhattan socialite friends.

Answer: The Opposite of Sex and the City

"The Opposite of Sex" was an independent movie that also featured Lisa Kudrow in one her earliest movie roles. during her successful run on "Friends".

9. The impeccable George Clooney stars in this 1997/2010 movie, where he plays the Caped Crusader in the land of Nottingham teaming with Russell Crowe and his war on corruption and the English king.

Answer: Batman and Robin Hood

The general consensus among fans is that "Batman and Robin" was the movie that almost killed the Batman franchise forever, it was that bad. The newest "Robin Hood" was not the green dressed, swinging-through-the-trees Robin Hood we were used to, it more resembled his portrayal of Maximus from "Gladiator" than Errol Flynn's portrayal of Robin Hood.
10. This was a 1999/1991 movie about Kevin Spacey and Annette Bening dealing with the hardships of how to live a suburban lifestyle, all the while keeping an animated Belle captive long enough to figure out how to break a spell cast on the Prince.

Answer: American Beauty and the Beast

"American Beauty" won the Best Picture Oscar for 1999, and Kevin Spacey won his second Oscar for his portrayal of Lester Burnham. In 1991 "Beauty and the Beast" broke the seal for animated features never getting nominated for a Best Picture Oscar. It did not win, but having the honor of being the only aminated pic to be nominated for Best picture up until 2009, when "Up" also received a nomination, it was a special feat.
