Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Middle + Chivalrous Chess Piece + Bovine Bessy + Water Floater

Answer: Midnight Cowboy

Mid + Knight + Cow + Buoy

Best Picture 1969. A naïve and emotionally abused Texas stud, Joe Buck (Jon Voight), tries to find a successful hustle in New York City but is reduced instead to sordid male prostitution. His encounter with the street-wise Ratso Rizzo (Dustin Hoffmann) results in a caring and poignant relationship between two men down on their luck and the least capable of sustaining anything meaningful in their lives.
2. Arid + Roman Five + "Gift" Participle + Maiden Lass + Night's Reverse + Large Body of Water

Answer: Driving Miss Daisy

Dry + V + Ing + Miss + Day + Sea

Best Picture 1989. Gently told story of the 20 year relationship between an elderly Jewish woman of the South, Mrs. ("Miss") Daisy Werthan (Jessica Tandy) and her African-American "driver" Hoke Colburn (Morgan Freeman). The plot deftly interweaves the extraordinary cultural similarities as well as the chasms of cultural difference that intersect the lives of these two characters, over a 20 year span in the South.
3. Legislative Act + Landlord Charges + Third ? Six Hundred + Oil Peninsula

Answer: Lawrence of Arabia

Law + Rents + Of + Arabia

Best Picture 1962. Epic biographical story of the extraordinarily complex Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Edward Lawrence (Peter O'Toole) painted against the cinematic tour-de-force of the Arabian desert during World War I.
4. Delirium Tremens + Asparagus Form + Location of Overnight Accomodations + Tennis Naught

Answer: Shakespeare in Love

Shakes + Spear + Inn + Love

Best Picture 1998. In a cleverly executed parody of modern Hollywood, the romantic comedy features a penniless Will Shakespeare (Joseph Fiennes) struggling with artistic and production pitfalls in delivering his latest opus "Romeo and Ethel the Pirate's Daughter" to the stage of 16th century London. A wealthy admirer, Viola De Lesseps (Gwyneth Paltrow) has dreams of becoming an actress in one of Will's plays. The two fall in love, their relationship providing inspiration for Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet", the resulting re-edit of his original "Romeo and Ethel the Pirate's Daughter" script.
5. Every + Top Grade + Wrestling Match + Special Day Before

Answer: All About Eve

All + A + Bout + Eve

Best Picture 1950. Cynical and manipulative Eve Harrington (Anne Baxter) maneuvers her way into the life of aging Broadway star Margo Channing (Bette Davis) to accomplish her own dreams of fame and fortune. Narrated by critic Addison DeWitt (George Sanders), who knows "all about Eve", the film traces Harrington's meteoric rise from star-struck Channing "fan" to award-winning actress through her deliberate sabotage of Channing's declining career and personal life.
6. Cravat + To Process Hide to Leather + Old Saint

Answer: Titanic

Tie + Tan + Nick

Best Picture 1997. A fictional romance between upper class Rose DeWitt Bukator (Kate Winslet) and steerage passenger Jack Dawson (Leonardo DiCaprio) doomed to fall in love on the last voyage of the "Titanic" in 1912. The story revolves around a salvage ship's search for a blue diamond called "Heart of the Ocean" believed to have been buried with the "Titanic". The character of Rose Dawson Calvert appears to tell the romantic tale of Jack Dawson's love for her and his death at sea in the sinking of the great ship.
7. Northern and Southern Continents (adj) + Isolated Steep Mountain + Minnelli Movie with Sympathy

Answer: American Beauty

American + Butte + Tea

Best Picture 1999. Dark comedy focused on Lester Burnham's (Kevin Spacey) mid-life crisis. Burnham rejects his dead-end job, emotionally demanding wife Carolyn (Annette Benning) and self-centered daughter Jane (Thora Birch). Striking out for a new lease on life, he creates just enough comedic and tragic turmoil around him to provide a murderous conclusion to his happy existence.
8. Crowd Sound at Fireworks + "Extra" Money + Ex Machina Figure

Answer: Amadeus

"Aaah!" + Mad + Deus

Best Picture 1984. Antonio Salieri (F. Murray Abraham) narrates from an insane asylum his various attempts to, at first, emulate and ultimately to destroy the God-given musical genius of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Tom Hulce).
9. US North, South, Mid and Far + A Large Portion of Beef + Single Tall Building Measure

Answer: West Side Story

West + Side + Story

Best Picture 1961. Musical tale of the tragic "Romeo and Juliet" story transplanted to the gang-ridden streets New York City. White Jet Tony (Richard Beymer) and Puerto Rican Shark Maria (Natalie Wood) represent two feuding cultures. They fall in love and decide to run away together, away from the violence of the streets. As in Shakespeare's drama, the star-crossed plans of the lovers are thwarted by fate and end in Tony's tragic death.
10. Boat Paddle + Noisy Racket + Breezy + Round Green Veggie + Extend Out with Force

Answer: Ordinary People

Oar + Din + Airy + Pea + Pull

Best Picture 1980. Realistic portrayal of a middle-class family trying to cope with emotional stress arising from death, depression, guilt and unrealized expectations. Calvin Jarrett (Donald Sutherland), Beth Jarrett (Mary Tyler Moore) and Conrad Jarrett (Timothy Hutton) star.
