I Love the Smell of Napalm in the Morning Quiz

Answer: Head in the Clouds

'Head in the Clouds' stars Charlize Theron as Gilda Besse, a half-American, half-French woman who is told she will die at the age of thirty-four. Stuart Townsend plays the idealistic young student Guy Malyon, who goes to Spain to fight against Franco's forces with the army of the Second Spanish Republic, while Gilda's lover Mia (Penelope Cruz) volunteers as a nurse. She is eventually killed by a landmine.

The photograph is of the Valle de los Caidos, a monument in San Lorenzo de El Escorial in Spain. It was conceived by Franco to honour those who died in the war.

Answer: Rwanda

'Shooting Dogs' (2005) is based on the experiences of David Belton, a BBC producer who worked in Rwanda during the Rwandan Genocide. He is also one of the film's co-producers, and several survivors of the genocide were also on the production staff. The film gets its title from UN soldiers shooting stray dogs who were scavenging the bodies of the dead. John Hurt plays Father Christopher, a priest based on the real-life Vjekoslav Curic, who worked with both Hutu and Tutsi people, while Hugh Dancy plays a teacher, Joe Connor.

The photograph is of a memorial site to the genocide at Rusatira.

Answer: Jack White

'Cold Mountain' follows the adventures of WP Inman (Jude Law), who deserts the Confederates when he receives a letter from his lover Ada (Nicole Kidman). While Inman is fighting in the war, Ada looks after her family's farm. Jack White plays Georgia, a mandolin player and friend of another deserter, Stobrod Thewes, and gets to sing a couple of songs. He later dated his co-star Renee Zellweger, who plays Stobrod's daughter Ruby.

The photograph is of Cold Mountain itself - yes, it's a real mountain! It is in North Carolina.

Answer: The Persian Gulf War

'Three Kings' stars Mark Wahlberg, Ice Cube and George Clooney as a group of US soldiers plotting a gold heist during the 1991 uprisings in Iraq. 'Jarhead' is based on the book by Anthony Swofford (played by Jake Gyllenhaal) about his experiences as a Marine in the Gulf War, and also features Jamie Foxx and Peter Sarsgaard. Finally, 'The Finest Hour' is about a pair of Navy SEALS, played by Rob Lowe and Gale Hansen, who fall in love with the same woman, and are later stationed in Iraq.

The photograph is of abandoned Iraqi vehicles during the Gulf War.

Answer: Dr. Strangelove

Made in 1964 and directed by Stanley Kubrick, 'Dr. Strangelove' tells the story of an attack on the Soviet Union, ordered by the extremely paranoid General Jack D. Ripper (Sterling Hayden), and the attempts to stop it. Peter Sellers plays the titular character, a mad scientist, as well as US President Merkin Muffley and RAF Group Captain Lionel Mandrake. The film's most iconic scene features Major 'King' Kong (Slim Pickens) riding on a nuclear bomb as it plummets to the ground.

The photograph is of the most common symbol associated with nuclear bombs - that of the mushroom cloud.

Answer: Lieutenant Gonville Bromhead

Narrated by Richard Burton, 'Zulu' tells the story of the Battle of Rorke's Drift, a battle between 150 British soldiers defending the Rorke's Drift mission station, and a Zulu army of around 3000-4000 warriors. Despite the British being heavily outnumbered and the heavy number of casualties, they managed to hold off the impending army. Lieutenant Bromhead was awarded the Victoria Cross, along with ten other British soldiers. Corporal Allen, Lieutenant Chard and Private Hook were played by Glynn Edwards, Stanley Baker and James Booth respectively.

The photograph is of the site where Rorke's Drift once stood.

Answer: War Horse

Joey, the 'War Horse' in question, is a chestnut bay horse who is trained at a young age by his owner, Albert (Jeremy Irvine). Joey is sold to the British Army to raise money for the family who owned him. He and a black horse named Topthorn are captured by the Germans. Albert enlists in the army in the meantime, and is reunited with Joey on the battlefield when Joey recognises his voice.

The field poppy, as shown in the photograph, became the symbol of Remembrance Day in the UK because poppies grew on the battlefields after the end of the First World War.

Answer: Ken Loach

Starring Cillian Murphy, Padraic Delaney and Liam Cunningham, 'The Wind That Shakes the Barley' tells the story of two brothers, Damian (Murphy) and Teddy O'Donovan (Delaney), who join the IRA in 1920, and are later arrested and detained by the British. They are divided by the signing of the Anglo-Irish Treaty and the ensuing civil war, with Teddy joining the National Army and Damien joining the Anti-Treaty IRA. The film was awarded the Palme d'Or in 2006, but was criticised by some commentators for making the IRA seem too heroic.

Answer: Mulan

Based on the poem 'The Ballad of Fa Mulan', 'Mulan' is about a young Han Chinese girl (played by Ming-Na Wen) who fights in the Han army in the war against the Xiongnu (or, as the song 'I'll Make A Man Out of You' calls them, the Huns). The Emperor of China issues a conscription order for men to join the army, but as Mulan's father is ill, she enlists in his place, disguised as a man. Mulan is expelled from the army after her secret is discovered, but she perseveres and eventually fights Shan Yu, the leader of the Huns.

The photograph is of a dragon sculpture in the Forbidden City in Beijing. I also picked it as a shout-out to Mushu, the little red dragon who acts as Mulan's protector.

Answer: Robert Duvall

'Apocalypse Now' is based on Joseph Conrad's 'Heart of Darkness', and the setting is changed from Congo to Vietnam. Lieutenant Kilgore is a surfing enthusiast and member of the First Cavalry, and says this line after ordering a napalm attack. Marlon Brando plays the insane Colonel Kurtz, a former officer with his own unit of Degar troops; Martin Sheen plays Captain Benjamin Willard, who is ordered by higher-ups to assassinate Kurtz; and Laurence plays Tyrone 'Mr Clean' Miller, a teenage crew member. The film won two Oscars in 1980, and the 1979 Palme d'Or.
