Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Six Degrees Of Separation

I'm actually a big fan of hers, and I know that she grabbed an Oscar nomination for "Six Degrees". She was in the first "Grease" and has made her stride well in TV's "The West Wing", which many say came as a result of the film "An American President". I don't know how she feels about pretty horses.

Answer: The Great White Hope

James Earl Jones and Jane Alexander pulled off that rather controversial film expertly in 1970! And you're rather impressed that the "Vitamin Guy" knew enough to ask for it!

Answer: The Talented Mr. Ripley

Loved this film! Matt Damon, Jude Law and Gwyneth Paltrow were just excellent in it. Your customer is happily on his way now. As you try to figure out if coffee and popcorn is a sensible breakfast....

4. Your next customer wants an early Tom Hanks movie. You overlook "Philadelphia" and "Forrest Gump" and offer him what?

Answer: The Money Pit

Tom and Shelley Long were in "The Money Pit" together. Luckily, he has gone on to much better projects. Shelley is best known now, we think, for her "Cheers" retrospectives.

Answer: Baby Boom

Sam and Diane (kinda sounds like the American TV show "Cheers", doesn't it?) did "Baby Boom" together in 1987.

6. Your next customer is looking for a movie he heard about starring Linda Hunt playing a homeless woman. This one might take a little research! But you figure it out. Which movie is he after?

Answer: Twenty Bucks

I really liked the little indie film "Twenty Bucks" which came out in 1993. It followed, what else?, a twenty dollar bill as it passed through a series of hands. Linda won her Oscar for playing a man in "The Year of Living Dangerously" and played Alice B. Toklas in "Waiting for the Moon".

Answer: He's playing Robert Crane

Mr. Kinnear is taking on the character of Robert Crane, famous for his role on TV's "Hogan's Heroes" and infamous for his brutal murder. And you tell her that the film isn't even out in theaters yet, so the video will come sometime in 2003.

Answer: The Sting

He grabbed an Oscar for directing "Ordinary People" but was only nominated for acting the one time for "The Sting".

9. The next renter wants a Sharon Stone movie. Of these, which do you rent him?

Answer: Action Jackson

Sharon was actually in "Action Jackson" in 1988. I have a feeling it isn't a proud inclusion on her resum�.

10. The day's almost over. You grab a hand full of stale popcorn. Your last buyer is after a George C. Scott film. Before you punch out and go home, which do you rent him?

Answer: Hardcore

George was in "Hardcore", in search of his wayward daughter. Hey, thanks for coming in on your day off! Hope you had fun.
