Question 1 of 10
1. "Xenia, Ohio. Xenia, Ohio. A couple of years ago, a tornado hit this place. It killed the people left and right. Houses were split open, and you could see necklaces hanging from branches of trees. Dogs died. Cats died. I saw a girl fly through the sky... and I looked up her skirt." Hint


Question 2 of 10
2. "It's very hard to keep personal prejudice out of a thing like this. And no matter where you run into it, prejudice obscures the truth. Well, I don't think any real damage has been done here. Because I don't really know what the truth is. No one ever will, I suppose. Nine of us now seem to feel that the defendant is innocent, but we're just gambling on probabilities. We may be wrong. We may be trying to return a guilty man to the community. No one can really know. But we have a reasonable doubt, and this is a safeguard which has enormous value to our system. No jury can declare a man guilty unless it's SURE. We nine can't understand how you three are still so sure. Maybe you can tell us." Hint


Question 3 of 10
3. "Speed is like a dozen transatlantic flights without ever getting off the plane. Time change. You lose, you gain. Makes no difference so long as you keep taking the pills. But sooner or later you've got to get out because it's crashing, and then all at once the frozen hours melt out through the nervous system and seep out the pores." Hint


Question 4 of 10
4. "With a bit of luck, his life was ruined forever. Always thinking that just behind some narrow door in all of his favorite bars, men in red woolen shirts are getting incredible kicks from things he'll never know." Hint


Question 5 of 10
5. "Geology is the study of pressure and time. That's all it takes really... pressure... and time... That, and big goddamn poster." Hint


Question 6 of 10
6. "I'm a writer, you monsters. I create for a living! I create! And this is my uniform!" Hint


Question 7 of 10
7. "June twenty-ninth. I gotta get in shape now. Too much sitting is ruining my body. Too much abuse is going on for too long. From now on there will be 50 pushups each morning, 50 pullups. There will be no more pills, no more bad food, no more destroyers of my body. From now on will be total organization. Every muscle must be tight." Hint


Question 8 of 10
8. "Mr. Barry, in my profession we hear many such stories. Yours is one of the most intriguing and touching I've heard in many weeks. Nevertheless, I'm afraid I cannot grant your request. But I'll tell you what I will do. I'll allow you to keep those fine pair of boots which in normal circumstances I would have for myself. The next town is only 5 miles away, and I suggest you now start walking." Hint


Question 9 of 10
9. "No more talking. No more guessing. Don't even think about nothing that's not right in front of you. That's the real challenge. You've gotta save yourselves from yourselves." Hint


Question 10 of 10
10. "Certainly, in the topsy-turvy world of heavy rock, having a good solid piece of wood in your hand is often useful." Hint

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. "Xenia, Ohio. Xenia, Ohio. A couple of years ago, a tornado hit this place. It killed the people left and right. Houses were split open, and you could see necklaces hanging from branches of trees. Dogs died. Cats died. I saw a girl fly through the sky... and I looked up her skirt."

Answer: Gummo

This quote, said by Solomon (Jacob Reynolds), is from the beginning of the film and is delivered to the audience as a way of setting the scene for the film, which is about the small town recovering from the effects of that tornado.
2. "It's very hard to keep personal prejudice out of a thing like this. And no matter where you run into it, prejudice obscures the truth. Well, I don't think any real damage has been done here.

Answer: Twelve Angry Men

My favorite film of all time, this 1958 Sidney Lumet film was based on a tele play written by Reginald Rose set in a jury room as the jurors try to decide on the guilt of a young man. This quote is said by Juror 8 (Henry Fonda) to the rest of the jurors as they continue to argue about the guilt of the young defendant.
3. "Speed is like a dozen transatlantic flights without ever getting off the plane. Time change. You lose, you gain. Makes no difference so long as you keep taking the pills.

Answer: Withnail And I

This quote is uttered by I, Peter Marwood (Paul McGann), and is delivered to the audience while the two of them recover from excessive drug use. The two protaganists go on holiday from dreary London to the glorious English countryside, complete with the glorious English rain to try to get their heads together.
4. "With a bit of luck, his life was ruined forever. Always thinking that just behind some narrow door in all of his favorite bars, men in red woolen shirts are getting incredible kicks from things he'll never know."

Answer: Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas

This 1998 Terry Gilliam film about the drug-addled life of Hunter S. Thompson is chock full of memorable lines. This line is uttered in voice over by Johnny Depp, after a man has walked into some public toilet and seen him licking some acid off another man's shirt.
5. "Geology is the study of pressure and time. That's all it takes really... pressure... and time... That, and big goddamn poster."

Answer: The Shawshank Redemption

This 1994 Frank Darabont film was based on a short story by Stephen King. The film was shot in a defunct prison in Ohio, which had to be repaired by the filmmakers because it was in such a poor condition. This line is said in voice over by Red (Morgan Freeman) after the discovery of what Andy (Tim Robbins) had done.
6. "I'm a writer, you monsters. I create for a living! I create! And this is my uniform!"

Answer: Barton Fink

This 1991 Coen Brothers film, about a writer suffering from writer's block, was written by the brothers while they were suffering from writer's block whilst writing 'Miller's Crossing'. This line is uttered by Barton Fink as he is being bullied by Hollywood executives.
7. "June twenty-ninth. I gotta get in shape now. Too much sitting is ruining my body. Too much abuse is going on for too long. From now on there will be 50 pushups each morning, 50 pullups. There will be no more pills, no more bad food, no more destroyers of my body. From now on will be total organization. Every muscle must be tight."

Answer: Taxi Driver

Filmed in 1976 by Martin Scorsese, this was the last film scored by legendary film composer Bernard Herrmann, who died on Christmas Eve 1975. This line is spoken by Travis Bickle (Robert De Niro) as he begins to see what he has to do to clean up the streets.
8. "Mr. Barry, in my profession we hear many such stories. Yours is one of the most intriguing and touching I've heard in many weeks. Nevertheless, I'm afraid I cannot grant your request. But I'll tell you what I will do. I'll allow you to keep those fine pair of boots which in normal circumstances I would have for myself. The next town is only 5 miles away, and I suggest you now start walking."

Answer: Barry Lyndon

For this 1975 offering from Stanley Kubrick, the shoot took 300 days during a 2 year span, beginning around May or June of 1973. This quote is spoken by Captain Feeny (Arthur O'Sullivan), who has just robbed Barry Lyndon (Ryan O'Neal) of all his money and his horse.
9. "No more talking. No more guessing. Don't even think about nothing that's not right in front of you. That's the real challenge. You've gotta save yourselves from yourselves."

Answer: Cube

This 1997 film from Vincenzo Natali is about six strangers who meet in a bizarre cube shaped prison. This quote is spoken by the soon-to-be-killed Rennes (Wayne Robson) who has previously escaped from seven different prisons and offers his fellow captives some advice. All the characters in the film are named after different prisons from around the world.
10. "Certainly, in the topsy-turvy world of heavy rock, having a good solid piece of wood in your hand is often useful."

Answer: This Is Spinal Tap

This 1982 offering from director Marty DiBergi (or should that be Rob Reiner), is a mockumentary about a fictitious British rock band. This quote is said by the band's manager, Ian Faith, when asked by the director why he carries a cricket bat around with him on tour.
