Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. "Brace yourself for Melvin."

Answer: As Good as it Gets

Melvin Udall is a romance writer and the neighbour from hell. As the film unfolds we see that he has a heart of gold. John Travolta was the original first choice to play Melvin.

2. "All work and no play make Jack a dull boy."

Answer: The Shining

Directed by Stanley Kubrick, this is based on a novel by Stephen King and sees Nicholson play a family man entrusted to be the caretaker of a lonely hotel over the winter. Various taglines were used for this film, including "He came as the caretaker, but this hotel had its own guardians".

3. "Hired killers by day. Devoted lovers by night. Until they found their next assignment was each other."

Answer: Prizzi's Honor

Based on a novel by Richard Condon.

4. "A man went looking for America and couldn't find it anywhere!"

Answer: Easy Rider

Two bikers, played by Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper, set off for New Orleans to 'find America'. On the way they encounter Nicholson at a hippie commune. This was another case where Nicholson was not the first choice to play his character. Rip Torn was originally cast to play George Hanson in this film.

Directed by Danny DeVito, this film follows the life of former union figure Jimmy Hoffa.

6. "Something wicked this way comes."

Three bored women, played by Cher, Susan Sarandon and Michelle Pfeiffer conjure up the perfect man and a mysterious stranger, played by Nicholson, suddenly appears in their lives. "Three beautiful witches, one lucky devil" was also used for this film.

7. "Nice planet. We'll take it!"

Answer: Mars Attacks!

Nicholson's intergalactic rhetoric as US President falls on deaf ears as he tries to negotiate a truce with Martians in this film. Warren Beatty was originally cast as the president. Are we seeing a trend here?

Answer: The Postman Always Rings Twice

This was a remake of a 1946 movie featuring the affair between a drifter and the wife of a roadside cafe owner.

9. "It divided the land. It divided the man."

Answer: The Border

Answer: Terms of Endearment

This film centres around Aurora and Emma Greenway, played by Shirley MacLaine and Debra Winger respectively.

Oh yes and by the way - his role was originally written for Burt Reynolds!
