Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. A mysterious imposter tries to convince others that she is a Grand Duchess. Her performance is so convincing, that even the person who talked her into posing as the Duchess and who is coaching her, is starting to believe that his fake is the real thing.

Answer: Anastasia

Ingrid Bergman plays a suicidal girl who Yul Brynner's character, Russian exile General Bounine, has pose as the Grand Duchess Anastasia. If he can pull off this hoax he will get 10 million pounds from the Bank of England, for returning the long, lost Duchess.
"Anastasia" (1956) earned Ingrid Bergman an Oscar for Best Leading Actress, beating out greats Katherine Hepburn, "The Rainmaker", and Deborah Kerr "The King and I".
2. On the outside, Lester and Carolyn appear to live the perfect life, until Lester starts to lose it. He begins fantasizing about his daughter's friend, and getting high with the boy next door. To make things worse, he quits his job to work at a fast food restaurant, embarassing his snotty wife to no end. This family's life is no bed of roses.

Answer: American Beauty

Kevin Spacey, Lester, won Best Leading Actor in "American Beauty" (1999). Lester Burnham suffers from a mid-life crisis, dragging his family's life down with him. It is not all his fault though. His wife, Carolyn (Annette Benning), is having an affair with her business rival and his daughter, Jane (Thora Birch), is falling for the drug dealer next door, who is constantly video taping her.
3. Charlie falls in love with Rev. Samuel's sister, Rose, while transporting her back to civilization in his river-boat, that is mainly used to brew and run gin.

Answer: The African Queen

(1951) "The African Queen" won an Oscar for Best Leading Actor for Humphrey Bogart. Katherine Hepburn was nominated for Best Leading Actress, losing to Vivien Leigh in "A Streetcar Named Desire". Charlie and Rose are complete opposites, thrown together after Rose's brother, Samuel, dies.

While floating towards the enemy on Charlie's gin boat, the pair maintain their humor and learn to respect each other.
4. Based on a true story, a man continues to lose the most important people to him, causing him to rally his countrymen, form an army and battle for Scotland's freedom.

Answer: Braveheart

"Braveheart" (1995) won Oscars for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Effects, Best Make-up and Best Cinematography. Mel Gibson plays William Wallace, a man who leads an army to conquer the evil English ruler Edward, who wants to inherit the crown of Scotland. William's mission is to free Scotland from English rule.
5. Eddie needs his girlfriend Harriet and her sister Queenie to help him in his act. He then falls out of love with Harriet and into love with Queenie, who falls in love with a high society man named Jock, who is in love with himself. Would it be a love story if the Eddie and Queenie did not fall in love with each other at the end? Of course they did and you know what...Harriet, who was his girlfriend to begin with, let them be together.

Answer: The Broadway Melody

This is an oldie. "The Broadway Melody" (1929) won Best Picture. Bessie Love was nominated for Best Leading Actress, but the Oscar went to Mary Pickford for her role in "Coquette". Harriet and Queenie go to New York, to perform Eddie's song. The act is a success, however there is a lot of heartache getting there.
6. This is the story of John Forbes Nash Jr., a Princeton professor. He hallucinates that the Russians are trying to send him secret coded messages, through news writings. With the help of his wife, Alicia, he overcomes his issues and goes on to win the Nobel Prize for his pioneering work in game theory.

Answer: A Beautiful Mind

Russell Crowe does a wonderful job portraying John Forbes Nash, a math genius, who can solve problems that not even the greatest minds could solve. This is the story of his life and how he overcame his illness to win the Nobel Prize.
"A Beautiful Mind" (2001) won Best Picture, Best Director, Best Writing Based on Material Previously Published. Jennifer Connelly won for Best Supporting Actress and Russell Crowe was nominated for Best Actor, but lost to Denzel Washington.
7. A woman, who is being paid as a high-priced escort and a man, who is being taken care of by a wealthy woman, live in the same apartment building with her cat. They fall in love.

Answer: Breakfast at Tiffany's

Now we're talking! This is an Audrey Hepburn movie called "Breakfast at Tiffany's" (1961). Too bad she lost the Best Leading Actress Oscar, to Sophia Loren, in "La Ciociara". (This is not where my vote would have gone). However, the movie won Best Music, Original Song and Best Music Scoring of a Dramatic or Comedy Picture. Holly Golightly, is searching for a rich man.

While Fred,(Fred is not really his name, it is her brother's name whom he reminds her of), the guy downstairs, is being taken care of by a rich women. Holly enchants Fred. Fred amuses Holly.

In the end, they realize that they belong together.
8. Barney, a lumberman, leaves Lotta, his love, to marry Emma Louise, his boss's daughter. When Barney and Emma move away, his friend Swan marries Lotta. Barney returns after over 23 years, to visit Swan. He finds out that Lotta, his one true love, had died. Barney falls for Lotta and Swan's daughter, who is the image of her mother, causing a feud between him and his son, who also falls for the young girl.

Answer: Come and Get it

"Come and Get It" (1937), is quite an oldie. Walter Brennen won Best Supporting Actor. Lotta's daughter is the spitting image of her mom. In falling for her Barney causes a lot of negative gossip and a feud with his son.
9. This movie is the true story of two British sprinters, competing in the 1924 Summer Olympics. Eric is a missionary, who runs for God, and Harold is the son of a rich Jew, who runs for fame.

"Chariots of Fire" (1981) won Best Picture, Best Costume, Best Music, Original Score and Best Writing. Ian Holm was nominated for Best Supporting Actor, but lost to John Gielgud.
10. Rick Blaine, a club owner, runs into his old love Ilsa and her husband Victor. Rick comes across two letters that could help Victor and Ilsa escape the Germans, who are after them. However, Rick and Ilsa plan to use the letters to run away together, instead of helping Victor and Ilsa escape the Germans.
