Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What 1987 Wim Wenders film, shot in both black and white and color, told the story of an angel who decides to become human in order to experience life and love?

Answer: Wings of Desire

'Der Himmel uber Berlin,' its German title, also had Peter Falk as himself --- with a surprsing twist. See it! 'Far Away, So Close!' was its sequel.
2. What 1963 Hitchcock movie starred Tippi Hedren as a socialite who finds her trip to a quiet coastal town plagued by mysterious attacks from above?

Answer: The Birds

One of Hitchcock's less realistic suspense films, 'The Birds' never explains why the avian attackers have suddenly gone on the rampage.
3. What 1962 film starring Burt Lancaster and Karl Malden told the story of a man prisoner for most of his adult life, from surly and violent youth to a dignified, stubborn older man?

Answer: The Birdman Of Alcatraz

Loosely based on the life of one Robert Stroud (who was, apparently, nothing like the character Lancaster plays), 'Birdman' showed how even a lifer could become redeemed during his decades of solitary confinement by becoming an expert on bird pathology. Lancaster also starred as a prisoner in 'Brute Force', about a prison break.
4. What 1996 film starring Robin Williams and Nathan Lane was a remake of the French farce 'La Cage aux Folles'?

Answer: The Birdcage

Williams and Lane played a gay couple who tried to hide the fact when Lane's son brought his fiancee's family to dinner.
5. In 1994, Brandon Lee starred as a man who came back to life to avenge his own and his wife's murder in what film based upon a comic book?

Answer: The Crow

Lee, of course, sadly died during the filming of this movie.
6. In what 1933 film did Groucho Marx star as the cad and dictator Rufus T. Firefly?

Answer: Duck Soup

In this anti-war slapstick, Rufus T. Firefly, dictator of Freedonia, delcares war on a neighboring country over the hand of a wealthy widow.
7. This 1986 film told the story of a sarcastic, cigar-smoking alien brought to Earth, who tries to stop an invasion of much worse aliens. It starred Lea Thompson and Tim Robbins, was based on a comic book, and was a huge bomb. The name of this turkey (hee hee)?

Answer: Howard the Duck

'Howard' was executive produced, and presumably disowned, by George Lucas.
8. Humphrey Bogart plays Sam Spade, whose partner is killed, in what 1941 film with Peter Lorre and Sydney Greenstreet?

Answer: The Maltese Falcon

With a bleak, almost amoral outlook (Spade barely shrugs at his partner's death, having been sleeping with his wife, but he's driven to find the killer nonetheless) tempered by wry, rapid-fire dialogue, this film is about as noir as it comes. The gaudy patter, the high-toned soliloquies, the cynical musings... gad, they don't make 'em like this any more. 'Casablanca' also starred Bogart, Lorre and Greenstreet, but there was no Sam Spade in it.
9. In 1975, Jack Nicholson played a man sent to a mental hospital in what Milos Forman film?

Answer: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

'I must be crazy to be in a loony bin like this,' muses McMurphy (Nicholson).
10. Robert Redford starred as a book reader for the CIA who suddenly finds himself a marked man, possibly by the CIA itself, in what thriller?

Answer: Three Days Of the Condor

Also starring Faye Dunaway, 'Condor' is a somewhat confusing but fairly tight espionage film. The fun is in seeing Redford's character use his technical skills to avoid capture. ...Thanks for playing this quiz. I bet you're feeling proud as a peacock if you got 100 percent, but don't feel like a silly goose if you didn't.
