Question 2 of 10
2. Well, this movie wasn't a religious biography as I expected. It starred Bette Davis as an aging celebrity, and a conniving young woman looking to supplant the older star. It was an American Film Institute top movie, settling in at #16. What was this box office smash in 1950? Hint


Question 3 of 10
3. Thought I'd check out a hunting movie next. I settled in for this 1962 classic starring Gregory Peck. I was instead, entertained by a courtroom drama dealing with racism and alleged rape in the impoverished south. What was this hit movie? Hint

Question 5 of 10

Answer: Sky High

This movie, about a high school for superheroes that floats in the clouds, was a fun movie to watch. Some comedy, special effects and although it had a juvenile storyline, it was worth the watch. Also, Lynda Carter appeared in a small role as the school principal, looking as spectacular as ever.
7. I enjoy Reggae music and when I saw a biography of one of the best performers in the genre I was first in line. Little did I know what I was in store for.

Answer: Flatliners

One of my favourite spine-tingling movies where Keifer Sutherland, Kevin Bacon, Oliver Platt, William Baldwin and Julia Roberts stopped their hearts to see the other side of death, before being brought back to life to report on their findings. It was extremely disturbing and frightening at certain times. Good movie!
9. I'm a history buff so thought I'd take in "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", thinking it a retelling of the Capt.John Smith and Pocahontas story. Well I was entertained to an action thriller about two high priced assassins who, although married, did not know what the other did for a living until their jobs crossed paths. Who played the married couple?

Answer: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie

This 2005 movie had Pitt and Jolie as assassins working for different firms. When assigned to the same 'hit', they botched the job and accused each other for the failure. Their employers then put a hit on each of them. In the ensuing battle for survival, they patched up their marriage and argument. This was a highly sucessful movie during its theatrical run.

"The Man in the Iron Mask" was the unofficial sequel to the 1993 "The Three Musketeers". It had a solid cast with Jeremy Irons, Hugh Laurie and John Malkovich.
