Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: The Cure

The movie stars Brad Renfro, as Erik and Joseph Mazzello as Dexter, the boy who is HIV-positive. The boys read about a doctor in New Orleans who has allegedly found a cure for AIDs, and they run away to find it. Although Dexter dies, his mom tells Erik he is "the cure" because his friendship gave Dexter an invaluable gift.

2. This very funny movie is a modern fairy tale, which is told by a grandfather to his sick grandson. It features the romance of Princess Buttercup and the farm boy, Westley.

Answer: The Princess Bride

This movie stars Robin Wright Penn as Buttercup and Cary Elwes as Westley, but my favorite character is the dashing Inigo Montoya, as played by Mandy Patinkin. The movie is funny, romantic and lots of fun.

3. This is a sweet cartoon about a mermaid who longs to be part of the world of a prince, who lives on the land. Her name is Ariel. What's the movie's name?

Answer: The Little Mermaid

Jodi Benson sings the title role and Samuel Wright is Sebastian the crab. Sebastian's lively song "Under the Sea" won an Oscar for best original song.

4. This wonderful cartoon tells the story of a lion cub who "just can't wait to be king." Young Simba loses his father, but he grows up to be king of the jungle. What is this movie?

Answer: The Lion King

Many famous voices are heard in this movie, including Matthew Broderick, James Earl Jones and Jeremy Irons. The movie inspired a Tony award-winning Broadway play.

Answer: The Goodbye Girl

Richard Dreyfuss won an Oscar for his fantastic performance as Elliott. Neil Simon wrote the play and his wife Marsha Mason plays Paula, the lovely lady who finally finds the guy who doesn't leave.

Answer: The Color Purple

The movie is based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Alice Walker. It is a wonderful story which also stars Danny Glover and Margaret Avery.

7. This is an amusing story of a group of conmen who enlist a group of men to help them turn the tables on the mob boss who killed their friend. What is this movie?

Answer: The Sting

This is a wonderful buddy movie for Paul Newman and Robert Redford, but Robert Shaw gives a wonderful performance as the crook that they sting. I love the way they plan the sting, and the amazing way it's carried out.

8. This amusing movie is a live-action film, based on a popular TV cartoon series. It stars John Goodman, Rick Moranis, Rosie O'Donnell and Elizabeth Perkins.

Answer: The Flintstones

The story is about Fred and Barney, who are both up for a promotion. In an effort to thank Fred for lending him money to adopt Bamm-Bamm, Barney switches test papers and allows Fred to take the promotion that should have been his. Fred enjoys giving Wilma the things she deserves, and in the end he saves the company from the evil boss and the two friends are all reunited. I love this take-off of the popular TV series and most of the actors did a good job.

It's fun to see Halle Berry as a femme fatale and Kyle MacLachlan as the villain.

9. The unlikely marriage between Katie (Barbra Streisand)and Hubbel (Robert Redford) is the focus of this movie. Their very different backgrounds finally pull them apart.

Answer: The Way We Were

The movie tells of different sorts of beauty: Hubbel is physically beautiful, yet he has a shallow soul. Though Katie seems unattractive by contrast, she develops into a strong and passionate woman who blossoms into true beauty. Streisand and Redford do a good job of portraying the changes in their characters.

Answer: The Rose

The story of the talented Mary Rose Foster is well done by Bette Midler. The title song was a big hit for her.
