Question 2 of 10
2. I remember this movie because it was the one I went to on my first real date. Appropriately enough, it was called "The Young Ones". The stars were Cliff Richard and The Shadows. Who played the female lead? Hint


Question 3 of 10
3. I can't say I remember the next film because I slept through it. I had been working shift work and really needed to sleep, but this cool guy asked me to go to movies with him.

Question 4 of 10
4. The first film I went to see once I was married was a "mascara disaster". I cried buckets. The film was made in 1966 and starred Lana Turner. Rich boy marries low class girl, mother-in-law does not approve and blackmails girl into disappearing, leaving her husband and son to think she is dead. Years later she is charged with murder and the court appoints a defense attorney who happens to be her long-lost son. Name the film. Hint


Question 5 of 10
5. Once a baby came along our movie going was limited to the drive-in cinema. Baby would always be asleep in the back seat before the feature started so we had no qualms about seeing psychological horror films until, halfway through, we noticed a wide eyed toddler sitting up watching.
The movie was directed by Roman Polanski and starred Mia Farrow and John Cassavetes. Which of the following was it?
Hint


Question 6 of 10

Hint


Question 7 of 10
7. The movie "Dr. Zhivago" sticks in my mind because we went to see in in the middle of winter and some of those scenes in the snow did nothing to warm me up. Who was the director? Hint


Question 8 of 10
8. I remember "Avatar" for no better reason than I just have not forgotten it.
Unobtanium,a precious metal, is being mined on a satellite of a gas giant in the Alpha Centauri system. What was the name of the moon?
Hint


Question 9 of 10
9. I can remember the film "Eraser" because I watched it so recently on TV. A U.S. marshal working for the Witness Security Protection Program fakes the deaths of witnesses to keep them safe. John Kruger, the marshal, is played by that foreign born bodybuilder who became a state governor in 2003. Help me recall his name. Hint


Question 10 of 10
10. I'm not allowed to forget "As Good as It Gets" as it is my husband's favorite of all time. It stars Jack Nicholson as a novelist who has issues with women and gays, and has OCD. Helen Hunt is the unmarried mother of a son who has severe asthma. What is the name of Jack Nicholson's character? Hint
