Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. An ill-tempered sports writer throws his roommate's linguini against their kitchen wall.

Answer: The Odd Couple

Oscar and Felix. It was the word "linguini" which set Oscar off. He thought it was spaghetti. The inimitable combo of Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon appears in all four movies.
2. An obnoxious man stuffs a huge cream cake into his mouth as an exercise to demonstrate that he is a deity. Not THE deity - A deity!

Answer: Groundhog Day

Bill Murray caught up in the same day over and over and over. Film critic Pauline Kael once described Murray as "the best reason in the world to go to the cinema". Now there's an accurate statement!
3. Clearly at the end of his patience, a man runs frantically around a large house, whilst wearing a woman's dressing gown. When he is discovered by the lady of the house, he leaps in the air and exclaims, "I just went GAY all of a sudden!"

Answer: Bringing Up Baby

Four of the best screwball comedies of the 30s and 40s, all starring the King of the genre, Mr. Cary Grant. "Bringing Up Baby" involves himself, Katherine Hepburn, a dog named George, a leopard named Baby, and the intercostal clavicle of a dinosaur. The film was sort of remade as "What's Up, Doc", and Madonna's "Who's That Girl?"
4. Having been humiliated and rejected by the man he admires, a young cowboy decides to follow after the man and his group. Along the way, they discover him beside a river, cooking them all some fish.

Answer: The Magnificent Seven

One of a handful of Westerns adapted from Akira Kurosawa films. The original of this one was "Seven Samurai". Seven gunslingers help the citizens of a tiny Mexican village fend off a squad of bandits.
5. The human speaks! The simians are amazed!

Answer: Planet Of The Apes

Charlton Heston crashlands on a, you guessed it, "Planet of the Apes". It's a great movie, made even more enjoyable by the hilarious musical version featured on "The Simpsons". Rod Serling, creator of "The Twilight Zone", was one of the screenwriters.
6. We already knew the name of the cemetery. Now we learn that the name on the grave is Arch Stanton.

Answer: The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly

I have a major soft spot for spaghetti director Sergio Leone. "A Fistful of Dollars", the original of the series, was adapted from Kurosawa's "Yojimbo".
7. A naked man throws open his bedroom shutters and steps outside. He suddenly discovers himself exposed to hundreds of people who have come to worship him.

Answer: The Life of Brian

Aaaahh! "Monty Python"! John Cleese, Michael Palin, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Terry Gilliam, and Graham Chapman, who landed the lead roles in the team's best two films. "The Life of Brian" saw the light of day thanks to being funded by George Harrison of The Beatles. It's a not-at-all blasphemous account of only one of a number of Messiahs in the Middle East 2,000 years ago.
8. Having frantically wheeled his father's bed around the empty corridors of a hospital, our "hero" has his jaw broken by the local police captain, who clearly doesn't know what's good for him.

Answer: The Godfather

Al Pacino being punched in the face by Sterling Hayden. A few scenes later, in an Irish bar in New Jersey, the cop gets his comeuppance with his mouth full of food.
9. The tennis champ's cigarette lighter is the incriminating piece of evidence to be planted. Oops! Bruno's gone and dropped it in a drain.

Answer: Strangers On A Train

My second favourite Hitchcock film, after "Psycho". The leading actors are Farley Granger as Guy and Robert Walker as the highly unusual Bruno, who has the bright idea of trading murders to divert suspicion. The script was written by Raymond Chandler. The film was remade as "Throw Momma From The Train".
10. And again, the concluding question comes from my own home country. A famous Irish writer, on discovering he has lost the woman he loves, furiously bashes his head off a restaurant table.

Answer: My Left Foot

"My Left Foot" is the story of Christy Brown, as played by Daniel Day-Lewis, one of the most well-deserved Oscar recipients in the history of the awards.
