From Quiz Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

From Quiz The Gray Man (2022)

Fitzroy then explains to Six that he can be a part of the CIA's Sierra program.

From Quiz "Green Book" - Doc's Paradox

Answer: Copacabana night club

While Bobby Rydell belts out "That Old Black Magic" to a jovial Copa audience, a scuffle breaks out at a table. The call goes out for Tony "Lip" Vallelonga - a working class Italian-American with a hazy connection to the mob. Tony appears to be a waiter, but is in fact a jack-of-all-trades at the club. On call, he is ready to resolve issues with rowdy patrons - with fists if necessary. After literally throwing the unruly patron out the front door, Lip DOES try to end the incident calmly. "Do yourself a favor, go home with your friends." Alas, his attempt at diplomacy fails. The disorderly dude gives Lip some lip, earning a free facial alignment. "OOPS" - Tony arrives home from work in the wee hours. Before bed, he stands at the open door of the refrigerator, drinking from a milk bottle. Sitting on the door shelf is a small tin of spice. On the side of the tin, we see the bar code - which wasn't on grocery items in 1962. Viggo Mortensen has over 60 acting credits - notably, Aragorn in "Lord of the Rings". He also has several producer, director, and composer credits. In a unique bit of irony, Mortensen is a fluent speaker in French, Spanish and Danish, none of which were heard in the film. His screen persona Tony's linguistic skills encompass only "Bronx" and faux German.

From Quiz Greyhound (2020)

Answer: C. S. Forester

Cecil Louis Troughton Smith was born in Cairo in 1899 but he moved to London before he started primary school. He adopted his pen name, C. S. Forester, when he began writing novels in his 20s. His 11 novels and five short stories featuring Horatio Hornblower were published from 1937 to 1967 and they told the fictional stories of the titular Royal Navy officer's exploits during the Napoleonic Wars. While the Hornblower novels had a British protagonist during the 1800s, the lead of "The Good Shepherd", Commander Krause, was a member of the U.S. Navy during World War II. The novel tells the story of the battles the crew faced brought on by both war and the sea.

From Quiz The Good Dinosaur

Henry and Ida were a married Apatosaurus couple. All three of Henry and Ida's children were born on the same day. Libby was born first, Buck was born second, Arlo was born third. Arlo's egg was the largest of the three eggs, but he was the smallest of the three dinosaurs.

From Quiz A Guy Thing

Answer: In the toilet tank

The morning after his bachelor party, we see Paul being woken up by the telephone. It's his mother-in-law asking to speak to Karen, who was on her way over to Paul's apartment. Paul tells Becky she has to leave right away, but she can't find her underwear. Once she has gone, Paul finds them under the cushion on the sofa, and, in a panic as Becky is at the door, decides to hide them in the toilet tank. A tactic that backfires later in the movie when Karen notices that the toilet is leaking, and discovers the underwear hidden in the toilet tank.

From Quiz Green Book (2018)

Answer: A bouncer in a club

The film opens in 1962 at the Copacabana, the legendary New York City nightclub, where Tony is working as a bouncer and driver for Jules Podell, the club's owner. When we first see Tony, he is dressed smartly in a red tuxedo as he escorts a man and a woman to their table in the main room. When a fight breaks out between a couple of goombahs, Tony moves swiftly through the room towards the men and sucker punches one before he grabs the other and throws him out of the club. "You put your hands on me, you punk?" he says, as he picks himself up off the ground. "Do you know who I am? I'm going back in there." Tony shoves him away as he tries to re-enter the club, so the man takes a swing at him. Tony ducks, then knocks him down to the ground with one punch and proceeds to pummel him until he stays down. When the Copa has to close for renovations, Tony and the club's other bouncers, captains, and maître d's are out of a job until the club reopens in January. Tony resorts to unconventional ways to make money, like going to Gorman's and betting Fat Paulie 50 dollars that he can eat more hot dogs than him. "He knocked off 24. Guy's an animal," Tony later tells his wife, Dolores, which sets her off. "Are you crazy?" she asks. "You lost 50 dollars?" Tony calmly pulls out a wad of bills. "Dolores, please," he says, as he holds up the money. "I ate 26."

From Quiz Green Book

Answer: Mahershala Ali

Ali won an Oscar for his role as Actor in a Supporting Role of Dr. Shirley. He's not new to winning awards. He also won an Oscar two years earlier for "Moonlight". I feel that Ali played the role of Dr. Shirley impeccably. He had me believe that he not only was a beautiful and esteemed gentleman, but had me believing that this was the first time he ever ate fried chicken.

From Quiz 'Grand Hotel' - Where Nothing Ever Happens

Answer: Berlin

A number of characters make reference to the city where they are staying, and the German names of most of the characters might also have suggested Berlin to you. The screenplay for this movie was based on a 1930 stage adaptation (by the same author, William A. Drake) of Vicki Baum's 1929 novel 'Menschen im Hotel'. The literal translation of this would be 'People in a Hotel', but the English publication used the title 'Grand Hotel'. This movie has sometimes been referred to as the first portmanteau movie, meaning one in which multiple stories are intertwined. The opening scene of 'Grand Hotel' starts with a shot of busy telephone receptionists, before changing to some close-ups of the people who are using the hotel phones, giving us a very early idea of the complex structure of the interactions we are going to see.

From Quiz The Guest

Answer: Afghanistan

Shortly after the death of the Peterson family's eldest son, Caleb, Laura Peterson receives a guest at the door. The man there is David, who served in the army with Caleb and claims to be his best friend. He says that he was there when Caleb died, and one of his last wishes was for David to check in on his family to make sure that they were alright. Laura breaks down when she hears this. After spending a short amount of time with him, Laura insists that he stay with the family as long as he needs; he can take Caleb's room. He says that he can take a motel room instead, but Laura won't hear of it.

From Quiz Making a Song and Dance

Answer: William Powell

At the time Powell was a major star in the Metro Goldwyn Meyer (MGM) stable. With his fine urbane voice and smoldering good looks he was a perfect fit for the showman. His profile had, earlier, been boosted when he was nominated for a Best Actor Oscar in 1934 for his role as Nick Charles in "The Thin Man", a role that he would reprise a further five times. He would go on to receive Best Actor Oscar nominations in 1936 for "My Man Godfrey" and in 1948 for "Life with Father".

From Quiz The Guns of Navarone

Answer: Mountaineer

Not only was Mallory a mountaineer, he also spoke fluent German and Greek (although apparently Gregory Peck had trouble with his German lines, and they had to be dubbed). The guns were located on the side of a cliff on Navarone, and while most of the sides of the island were heavily guarded by Nazi troops, one side with a sheer cliff wasn't. It was decided that the best chance to get on the island was to climb up that cliff, so Mallory was selected to lead the ascent. The team was led by Major Roy Franklin (Anthony Quayle), and the other members of the team were Corporal Miller (David Niven), Colonel Stavrou (Anthony Quinn), Private Spyro Pappadimos (James Darren), and Private "Butcher" Brown (Stanley Baker).

From Quiz Come to Get Rich, Stay for Comedy: "The Gold Rush"

(This particular piece of footage - the only bit filmed on location - was actually filmed in California's Sierra Nevada Mountains.) Throughout most exterior scenes in the movie, "snow" is usually quite abundant.

From Quiz The Goat

Answer: He gets in line behind two mannequins.

The end of the bread line is in front of a clothing store. The line moves ahead as Buster waits for the mannequins, with their backs to him, to move. Finally he sticks the "man" in front of him with a pin -- only, of course, to get no response. Bewildered, Buster tests the pin in his own leg and finds it sharp. It's only when the store owner brings his mannequins inside that Buster realizes his mistake and runs to the window -- only to find it shut. He'll get no bread today.

From Quiz The Grapes Of Wrath

Answer: A truck driver

In the opening scene of the movie, Tom walks by a diner and asks a truck driver for a lift. The driver points to a sign in the windshield that says, "No Riders".

From Quiz Go West

Answer: He's hauling his stuff out of the house, piling it on the bed, and dragging it down the street.

It's not clear if Buster was evicted or foreclosed on, or if he had just decided to leave town. But he leaves his tiny shack and drags his belongings into the general store to sell them, lamenting that he's looked every place in town for a job. The proprietor gives him $1.65 for all his worldly goods -- then insists that if Buster wants his bandana, handkerchief, shaving kit, toothbrush, and picture of his mother, he has to buy them back. Poor Buster is so forlorn and forsaken, even the dog he pets turns its back on him and leaves. A hand double is used for the close-up as Buster ponders his last nickel; you can tell because Keaton's hand was missing the right index fingertip due to an accident when he was a small child.

From Quiz Gran Torino

Answer: Michigan

Clint Eastwood's 2008 movie "Gran Torino" took place in the state of Michigan, supposedly in the Detroit suburb of Highland Park. The movie was filmed on location in the Wolverine State.

Answer: A superstore manager

In the beginning of the movie, Grace called from Iraq. However, no one was at home at that moment so she left a message on the answering machine.

Back in Minnesota, Stanley asked the store workers to huddle up for their morning cheer before work. On the very next day, when his manager did not show up for work, Rick called Stanley to check if he was all right. During their road trip, Dawn also asked her father what did he do all day at work.

From Quiz The Golden Compass

Answer: to find a cloak

At the beginning of the movie, we see Lyra running in a field, playing with a group of children. She and her friend Roger run in through an entranceway that leads to Jordan College where she lives, but she stops the other children from following her by telling them that the entranceway has been cursed. When the children question her on this, she claims she will provide proof by bringing out a poisoned cloak that will kill anyone who puts it on. She later tells Roger that she only needs to find a regular cloak, because no one will have the nerve to try putting it on. She goes into the room looking for a cloak, but becomes distracted by the other things she sees there. Lyra has a wonderful imagination, and an ability to think on her feet that will hold her in good stead. Lyra is wonderfully played by Dakota Blue Richards.
