Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. "The Quiet Man" (1952) starred John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara and was set in which of the following locations?

Answer: Innisfree, Ireland

The story of "The Quiet Man" was set in a fictional town of Innisfree, Ireland. Much of the filming of the movie took place in various locations in Ireland which can be seen in its panoramic scenic shots of the beautiful countryside. The lead character, Sean Thornton (played by John Wayne), was a retired boxer who accidentally killed a man in the boxing ring and returned to his hometown to find inner peace.

It was a movie about love, family, and respect for yourself and others.
2. The highly acclaimed thriller "Hush... Hush, Sweet Charlotte" (1964) starred which famous Hollywood actress in the lead role of Charlotte Hollis?

Answer: Bette Davis

This brilliant movie won seven Academy Awards. While many thought that this was one of Bette Davis' best performances, she did not win an Oscar, nor was she nominated. This dark psychological thriller involved murder with a meat cleaver, madness, drugs, and social stigma set in 1927 Louisiana.
3. "Quiet Cool" (1986) was an action movie that starred Nick Cassavetes and which other actor famous for starring in "Windwalker" (1980) and "Cruising" (1980)?

Answer: James Remar

In "Quiet Cool" (1986) James Remar played an undercover New York cop set on revenge for a drug related murder. Directed by Clay Borris, this movie did not do well with the critics but did feature some great shots of New York City. James Remar has starred in such movies as "The Cotton Club" (1984), "Drugstore Cowboy" (1989) and "The Clan of the Cave Bear (1986).
4. "All Quiet on the Western Front" was an epic movie filmed in 1930 that focused on which of the following wars?

Answer: World War I

This cinematic masterpiece was a realistic portrayal of the horror of World War I. The film won Oscars for Best Picture and Best Director. The gritty, dirty truth about war was portrayed in this story; war was not romanticized and this may be why it has been held in such high regard for so many years.
5. Which of the following options is a 1976 Mel Brooks movie that would fit into the theme of this quiz?

Answer: Silent Movie

"Silent Movie" was a typical Mel Brooks comedy movie that involved characters named Mel Funn, Marty Eggs and Dom Bell who decided that they wanted to produce a silent movie. The all star cast included Marty Feldman, Bernadette Peters, Dom DeLuise, and Sid Caeser.

There is only one word spoken in the whole movie and that is the word "Non", uttered by world famous mime Marcel Marceau, who played himself, and was replying to a request to play himself in their movie. This award winning feature is a must-see movie, late at night, with a BIG bowl of popcorn.
6. What was the name of the character played by Jodie Foster in the 1991 crime thriller "The Silence of the Lambs"?

Answer: Clarice Starling

Jodie Foster played Clarice Starling in this Academy Award winning movie about a cannibalistic genius who ate his victims, and a rookie FBI agent (Starling). Starling wanted to take her scholastic training out into the field and did so by interviewing an incarcerated serial killer played by Anthony Hopkins.

While she manipulated him for answers to help her find another active serial killer, he manipulated her to get her personal information. A strange and twisted bonding took place between the characters. Both Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster won Academy Awards for their portrayals in this truly frightening psychological thriller directed by Johnathan Demme.
7. Gwyneth Paltrow and Jessica Lange starred in which 1998 movie directed by Jonathan Darby?

Answer: Hush

"Hush" (1998) was a dark psychological thriller which portrayed the interactions of a daughter-in-law (Paltrow) and her new mother-in-law (Lange). The twisted and possibly incestuous relationship between mother and son was the primary focus. Both actresses have done movies that fared much better at the box office than this one did.
8. "The Quiet" (2005) was a thriller directed by Jamie Babbit, and focused around a female teenager who appeared to be suffering from which of these afflictions?

Answer: Deafness

This movie revolved around a deaf teenager named Dot. The watcher finds out along the way that Dot was faking deafness to manipulate those around her. This convoluted tale of incest, death and drug addiction was not well received by the critics. One of the most noticeable features of this movie was that it was shot in high-definition video, which gave a hazy and somewhat smoky feel to the interior shots.

The movie was also criticized for unnecessary sexual overtones.
9. "Dead Silence" (2007) was an unusual horror movie that starred which former member of the boy band New Kids on the Block?

Answer: Donnie Wahlberg

"Dead Silence" starred Donnie Wahlberg as Detective Jim Lipton. The movie centered around a widower who returned to his hometown looking for an answer to why his wife was murdered and how to go on without her. The movie featured a haunted ventriloquist's puppet and the puppet's previous owner, who was also deceased.

This was a strange ghost story that may or may not keep you on the edge of your seat. Donnie Wahlberg made many movies after the breakup of the band, such as "Righteous Kill" and "What Doesn't Kill You", both in 2008.
10. Which 1948 documentary movie chronicled the sad and desperate life a child growing up in Harlem in post World War II New York?

Answer: The Quiet One

"The Quiet One" (1948) contained commentary by Pulitzer Prize winning author James Agee. It was a sad social commentary on life in the American ghetto. It also taught the lesson that there is always light at the end of the tunnel. It was a movie of faith, prejudice, hope and in the end the kindness and tenacity of the human animal.
