Answer: Shirley Bassey

Dame Shirley Bassey sang the themes to 'Goldfinger', 'Diamonds Are Forever' and 'Moonraker'. Of the wrong answers, Adele also sang a James Bond theme song ('Skyfall'). Dame Vera Lynn was a hugely popular singer during World War II and subsequently, but never sang a Bond song, and Dame Kelly Holmes, as a gold medal winning athlete, probably never will.

Answer: Gregory Peck

One of my favorite movies, "Twelve O'Clock High" (1950) received Academy Award nominations for Gregory Peck as Best Actor and also for Best Picture. Dean Jagger won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. "Twelve O'Clock High" is more than a dramatization of the struggles of America's heavy bomber force in WW2.

It can also serve as a case study on how to lead and motivate people.

Answer: Sahara

"Sahara" is a 2005 action-adventure film that sees the famous adventurer Dirk Pitt, portrayed by Matthew McConaughey, investigating the source of a mysterious and deadly plague that is devastating Africa. The movie is a simplified adaptation of Clive Cussler's bestselling 1992 novel of the same name, sharing only the basic plot outline and most of the major characters.

The film, which cost approximately $130 million to make, was a major box office failure, grossing $119 million worldwide. The 1943 film "Sahara," starring the legendary Humphrey Bogart as the commander of an M3 Lee tank, was a war film about a small group of American troops in Libya defending a vital water supply from German attack. "Sahara" was remade as a made-for-TV film in 1995, with Jim Belushi playing Bogart's role.

Answer: Harrison Ford

The role of Brooklyn Dodgers' executive Branch Rickey is something of a departure for Ford, being the first real-life character he's portrayed in his long career. "42" is the story of the integration of baseball in 1947, with Rickey's hiring of Jackie Robinson (Chadwick Boseman) to play for the Dodgers.

Question by player spanishliz

Answer: a cowboy in a Wild West Show

Eastwood both starred in and directed "Bronco Billy". It was a film about a rundown, gritty, inauthentic, cash-strapped Wild West show. His co-star, Sondra Locke, was nominated for a Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Actress. The epilogue may be the best part of the film; Eastwood turns to the audience and says "I've got a special message for you little pardners out there. I want you to finish your oatmeal at breakfast and do as your mom and pa tell you because they know best. Don't ever tell a lie and say your prayers at night before you go to bed. And as our friends south of the border say, 'Adios, amigos.'"

Answer: Skywalker Ranch

Named for the hero of George Lucas' famous 1977 film "Star Wars", Skywalker Ranch is a large tract of land in the Northern San Francisco Bay Area. The ranch is located on Lucas Road, but the road was named for a local rancher from the 1850s, not director George. No filming took place at Skywalker Ranch, but it is the location for Skywalker Sound, a division of Lucasfilm.

Question by player wjames

Answer: Reservoir Dogs

In the 1992 movie "Reservoir Dogs", Tim Roth plays the part of an undercover cop who is trying to take down a crime boss. In order to come across as a criminal, he is given a tale to memorize about a drug deal that he needs to tell in order to seem legitimate to a group of other criminals.

The tense scene is so well made, skipping between scenes as Tim Roth's character tells the story, memorizes the story, and plays out the story in the public bathroom where it takes place.

Question by player ramonesrule

Answer: Anita

Rita Moreno played Anita, Bernardo's girlfriend and Maria's closest friend. Her voice was dubbed by Betty Wand in the song "A Boy Like That". The music to this song was written by Leonard Bernstein and the words by Stephen Sondheim. Speaking against Maria's romance with Tony, Anita says, "A boy like that wants one thing only. And when he's done, he'll leave you lonely.

He'll murder your love. He murdered mine. Just wait and see. Just wait, Maria, just wait and see!"
