Movie Mixology Part 2 Trivia Quiz

Answer: Practical Magic

This was a magical story based on the Alice Hoffman novel of the same name. When Gillian's (Nicole Kidman) boyfriend became abusive her sister Sally (Sandra Bullock) came to the rescue, and they ended up killing him. When they tried to bring him back to life, his spirit threatened them and their family, so they used magic to banish him forever.

Answer: The Princess Bride

Buttercup was convinced that her true love, Wesley, had died so she agreed to marry Prince Humperdink. Wesley, however, was still alive, and came to prevent Buttercup from marrying Humperdink. Filled with kidnapping, impending marriage, giants, pirates and true love, "The Princess Bride" had a little bit of everything. My favorite, and probably the most memorable quote of the movie, was by Mandy Patinkin's Inigo Montoya: "Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."
