Question 1 of 10
1. (1998) A medical student is determined to use the magical powers of laughter to treat his patients, despite the number of times it gets him in trouble with his superiors. He also establishes the Gesundheit Clinic, to provide medical services for people who can't afford to receive treatment from conventional sources, in this fact-based movie. Hint


Question 2 of 10
2. (1978) After WWII many Nazis, including Dr. Josef Mengele, escaped to South America. This much is fact. The fiction begins when a young Nazi hunter stumbles upon a plot by Mengele to clone Hitler, and reestablish the Third Reich. Hint


Question 3 of 10
3. (1998) When he almost runs over a dog John is shocked to hear the dog call him a 'bonehead'. Before he knows it all kinds of animals are talking to him. Unfortunately everyone, especially the other doctors at the clinic where he works, think that he's going crazy. Hint


Question 4 of 10
4. (1970) Practical jokes and outrageous humour help everyone keep their sanity, as they go about the business of saving lives, at a field hospital during the Korean War. This is the movie that spawned one of my all time favourite television shows.

Answer: (One Word - no punctuation needed)
Question 5 of 10
5. (1991) This doctor was a psychiatrist, before they caught him killing and eating his patients and locked him away. Now he has information about a new serial killer, one who likes to skin his victims, and he uses that information to maneuver himself into a position where he's able to escape. What movie is he in? Hint


Question 6 of 10
6. (1984) When fired from their jobs at the university, these doctors with degrees in 'both psychology and parapsychology' decide to set up a paranormal extermination company. Their timing is perfect, and they end up saving the city from being taken over by Gozer, an ancient Sumerian god.

Answer: (One Word - plural form)
Question 7 of 10
7. (1992) When Jack Ryan witnesses an I.R.A. attack on a relative of the Queen, he can't stop himself from getting involved. He single-handedly defeats the attack, but manages to get himself shot in the process. It's a good thing that his wife is a doctor, and is able to administer on-the-spot first aid. Hint


Question 8 of 10
8. (1982) This tongue-in-cheek spoof of soap operas follows the trials and tribulations of a bunch of med. students, including a brilliant young doctor-in-training who sickens at the sight of blood. Hint


Question 9 of 10
9. (1980) John Merrick, grossly deformed due to Proteus Syndrome, was half-dead and on display at a Freak Show in Victorian England. Dr. Frederick Treves found Merrick, and brought him to live at the hospital where he was on staff, saving his life and giving him back some basic human dignity. Hint


Question 10 of 10
10. (2000) After seeing her husband brutally murdered, Betty retreats into a fantasy world where she believes herself to be a character from her favourite soap opera. She sets out on a cross-country trip to reunite with her ex-fiance, a doctor from the show.
