Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. This teen horror classic was Johnny Depp's film debut.

Answer: A Nightmare on Elm Street

This 1984 release was the first of many Freddy Krueger nightmares. Depp plays the unfortunate boyfriend of the film's heroine.
2. Depp stars in the title role as a protective older brother in this 1993 story of family and woes in a sleepy Midwestern town.

Answer: What's Eating Gilbert Grape?

A fabulous flick! Depp is really great in this movie. But it's Leonardo DiCaprio, who plays Depp's mentally handicapped brother, Arnie, who truly shines.
3. In this zany John Waters' romance, Depp plays Wade Walker, a rock and roll 1950s gang leader who falls in love with Allison Vernon Williams, a good girl from the right side of the Baltimore tracks.

Answer: Cry-Baby

I just love John Walter's cult teenage dramas! Ricki Lake, Amy Locane, Iggy Pop and Traci Lords also appear in this comedy of "Drapes vs. Squares."
4. In this drama, Depp is a turn-of-the-century investigator assigned to a bizarre string of serial killings in a dark and very strange New York town.

Answer: Sleepy Hollow

Tim Burton did a beautiful job with this American folk tale, painting Depp's Ichabod Crane as a cynical realist with a painful past who refuses to comprehend the idea of a Headless Horseman, until he is nearly attacked himself.
5. Depp seems to have a thing for detective roles. In this 2001 thriller, he plays Frederick Abberline, who is investigating a rash of prostitute murders in the red light district of 19th century London.

Answer: From Hell

Based on the still-unsolved "Jack the Ripper" serial murders, Depp's character is examining the link between the victims. It is a rather brutal take on the story. It's prolific and gory, but also (I think) a very good film.
6. Depp stars as Joe Pistone, a 1980s FBI mole, who infiltrates the Mafia and becomes absorbed in its entanglements, friendships and connections.

Answer: Donnie Brasco

The movie is based on Joe Pistone's autobiography "Donnie Brasco: My Undercover Life in the Mafia." Depp's acting is excellent in this movie, as is the acting of such co-stars as Al Pacino, Michael Madsen and Anne Heche.
7. An Avon Lady stumbles upon an incomplete, quasi-human experiment (Depp) in this whimsical suburban fairly tale.

Answer: Edward Scissorhands

Depp's character struggles to fit into the family that takes him under its collective wing, into the gossipy and phony suburban community, as well as the world at large.
8. In this movie, Depp is Dean Corso, a rare books dealer hired to find the remaining two copies of a 17th Century book which allegedly includes illustrations done by Lucifer.

Answer: The Ninth Gate

John Travolta supposedly opted out of the Dean Corso role in this film. In my amateur opinion, the movie was rather good but the ending left a great deal to be desired.
9. This 2001 film is based on the true story of George Jung, a convicted criminal, accused of single-handedly bringing cocaine into the United States in the 1970's.

Answer: Blow

Jung is also accused of making cocaine the drug of choice among the elite and powerful in the US. Though I did not expect to, I enjoyed this film (except for Penelope Cruz as Jung's brutal wife).
10. Depp had a pretty small role in this highly acclaimed soldier saga.

Answer: Platoon

Oliver Stone's 1986 film "Platoon" remains one of the most gripping and poignant war films that I had seen to date. Charlie Sheen's character narrates.
