Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. "You don't spell it son, you eat it" is from what John Hughes movie starring Molly Ringwald?

Answer: Sixteen Candles

Grandpa Baker said this to Long Duck Dong during dinner. It was also during this dinner that Grandpa Fred suggested that Samantha take Long Duck Dong to the dance. This made an uncomfortable situation in the movie even worse for Molly Ringwald's character Samantha.
2. Which actor played Wyatt's obnoxious older brother in the sci-fi comedy "Weird Science"?

Answer: Bill Paxton

This is one of many roles in which Bill Paxton has played someone in the military: "Stripes", "Commando" and "Aliens" to name a few.
3. Watts loves Keith, Keith loves Amanda and Amanda loves being popular. Which John Hughes movie has this love triangle in it?

Answer: Some Kind of Wonderful

"Before they could stand together, they had to stand alone", was the tagline for this awesome movie, written by John Hughes.
4. "Does Barry Manilow know that you raid his wardrobe?", is said by which character in "The Breakfast Club"?

Answer: John Bender

John Hughes took a chance on an unknown actor named Judd Nelson to play the part of John Bender. This movie helped Judd Nelson become an official member of "The Brat Pack".
5. Which female member of "The Brat Pack" starred in the most John Hughes films?

Answer: Molly Ringwald

Molly Ringwald starred in "Sixteen Candles", "The Breakfast Club" and "Pretty in Pink".
6. Which male member of "The Brat Pack" starred in the most John Hughes films?

Answer: Anthony Michael Hall

Anthony Michael Hall starred in "Sixteen Candles", "The Breakfast Club" and "Weird Science".
7. In the John Hughes comedy, "Ferris Bueller's Day Off", what did Ferris get for his birthday, instead of a car?

Answer: Computer

"Ferris Bueller's Day Off" is one of the first movies in which the characters in the film look directly into the camera, making the audience really feel like part of the movie. This also happens to be my favorite John Hughes movie of all time.
8. "Blane! That's a major appliance that's not a name", is from what John Hughes film starring Andrew McCarthy?

Answer: Pretty in Pink

Duckie said this to his best friend Andie after finding out she had a date with the ever so popular Blane. He was very jealous because he had a huge crush on her.
9. Who is the actress who told the Economics teacher (brilliantly played by Ben Stein) that Ferris was sick, in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off"?

Answer: Kristy Swanson

Kristy Swanson's monologue is one of the most recognized movie quotes in history (in my opinion). Almost everyone knows about "the girl that saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night," thanks to Kristy's long explanation.
10. John Candy starred in which John Hughes movie about a family vacation gone wrong when uninvited relatives show up?

Answer: The Great Outdoors

John Candy also starred in three other movies written by John Hughes: "Vacation", "Uncle Buck" and "Planes, Trains and Automobiles".
