Question 1 of 10
1. OK, this is the tale of a young man's rise and fall in an East Coast crime family. It begins with our story's lead character becoming involved in everything from, as a boy, running errands, to as a young man, everything a mobster could put his hands on, gambling, loansharking, hijacking, murder, etc. When he's popped by the law for the first time, he's met outside the courtroom by his colleagues and the top boss who says to him, "I'm not mad, I'm proud of you. You took your first pinch like a man and you learn two great things in your life. Look at me, never rat on your friends and always keep your mouth shut." Who can tell me what 1990 release this was?
Hint


Question 2 of 10
2. It's Valentine's Day of 1991 and this heartwarming little film has just hit the big screen. The story is of of a young FBI cadet and her efforts, with the aid of an incarcerated whackjob psychiatrist, to help stop a brutal serial killer who's targeting larger young women. During an interview with the psycho shrink, our little greenhorn is told this line: "A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti." Who can give me the title? Hint


Question 3 of 10
3. In 1992 this story tells of a Mexican-American man and his homies as they grow up in reform school and prison while creating the strongest Latino Mafia in California. At one point in his life outside of prison, our protagonist talks with his estranged father about their strained relationship, about which his father explains: "Your mother was a beautiful woman. She made me feel proud. She was 19 years old. Raped... by sailors. After it happened, we never talked about it. Then we got married and we tried to forget. When you were born, I tried to love you. But every time I looked at you, I wondered who your real father was. I wondered which sailor's blood you carried inside of you." What is this film? Hint


Question 4 of 10
4. Next up we have this period piece set in WWII Europe. It is a true story that tells of a man and his ability in business to save many people from the Nazi death camps. As the war ends and the camps are being liberated, the businessman is given a gift by the people he has sheltered. On this gift is an inscription that has to be explained to this heroic man by his long-suffering assistant, who says, "It's Hebrew, it's from the Talmud. It says, 'whoever saves one life, saves the world entire.'" Can someone name this cinema great?
Hint


Question 5 of 10
5. Allright, let's cheer things up a bit. Next up is the story of a simple man who, without planning, ends up in moments of history-making events. After a New Year's Eve party, we find our lead man in the apartment of his former lieutenant where he is asked if he's found Jesus yet, to which our man answers, "I didn't know I was supposed to be looking for him, sir." What is this 1994 piece? Hint


Question 6 of 10
6. This star-studded monster hit the screen in '95. It's about a team of professional thieves trying to pull down the final big score after they botched the last gig, and the hound of a cop that's tailing them. During the cat-and-mouse game, the cop and crew lead man meet in a coffee shop to talk. With each one knowing full well what the other one is, the cop explains to the thief his view and the thief responds with, "I do what I do best, I take scores. You do what you do best, try to stop guys like me." Who's got the name of this one? Hint


Question 7 of 10
7. Okay, this one's a toss-up from '96. It's kind of disturbing and funny at the same time. It's about a pregnant policewoman who's working to solve a triple homicide in her jurisdiction. Along with the killings, she's discovering all kinds of wrongful daring-do in the snowbound town she covers. Anybody have a clue what this movie is? Hint


Question 8 of 10
8. Here we have another funny but twisted flick. This one's the story of a paroled inmate who has to travel with the best of the worst criminals to a newly built supermax prison via airplane. En route to their destination, the bad boys decide they don't want to play nice and take over. Enter our paroled former Army Ranger to save the day. During a lull in the action, our hero is informed of a certain convict's problems by a complete whack-a-doo of a serial killer, who says, "He's a font of misplaced rage. Name your cliché; mother held him too much or not enough, last picked at kickball, late night sneaky uncle, whatever. Now he's so angry moments of levity actually cause him pain; gives him headaches. Happiness, for that gentleman, hurts." Does anyone know the name of this '97 tale? Hint


Question 9 of 10
9. Let's see what '98 had in store. This is the story of my favorite slacker, who enjoys bowling and inadvertently gets caught up in a kidnapping while trying to replace a cherished rug. A rug that really tied the room together. When our slacker is attacked and his prized rug ruined, one of his assailants presents a bowling ball and asks our friend what it is, to which he replies, "Obviously you're not a golfer." Who can give me the name of this one? Hint


Question 10 of 10
10. Allright, it's the end of the decade and what do we have here? A real obscure tale of two slackers/prophets who escort a woman with a heritage to New Jersey to prevent renegade angels from entering heaven and ripping the fabric of creation, ending mankind. When our heroine is first informed of her task, she inquires about the renegades and why they were kicked out of Heaven and were they sent to Hell. The one doing the explaining responds "Worse. Wisconsin. For the entire span of human history." Anybody know the name of this this one? Hint

You took your first pinch like a man and you learn two great things in your life. Look at me, never rat on your friends and always keep your mouth shut." Who can tell me what 1990 release this was?

Answer: Goodfellas

As if snitching against his mob family wasn't risky enough, Henry Hill revealed his true identity to everyone after the film's release, getting himself kicked out of witness protection.
2. It's Valentine's Day of 1991 and this heartwarming little film has just hit the big screen. The story is of of a young FBI cadet and her efforts, with the aid of an incarcerated whackjob psychiatrist, to help stop a brutal serial killer who's targeting larger young women. During an interview with the psycho shrink, our little greenhorn is told this line: "A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti." Who can give me the title?

Answer: The Silence of the Lambs

In December of 2011, this film was selected for the Library of Congress as being culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant. As I am creating this quiz, I find it kind of ironic that I have the TV on and right now there's a documentary on about the making of the film.
3. In 1992 this story tells of a Mexican-American man and his homies as they grow up in reform school and prison while creating the strongest Latino Mafia in California. At one point in his life outside of prison, our protagonist talks with his estranged father about their strained relationship, about which his father explains: "Your mother was a beautiful woman.

But every time I looked at you, I wondered who your real father was. I wondered which sailor's blood you carried inside of you." What is this film?

Answer: American Me

To make this movie was to walk on deadly ground. This film is a quasi biopic based on the history of La Emme. A very real and very powerful group of Latino convicts and street gangs. Some actors required full time bodyguards and some carried personal firearms to protect themselves during and after filming.

Many real life gangsters were extremely irate at the way the movie portrayed them and their lifestyle. Eventually three of the consultants who were used for the film were murdered.
4. Next up we have this period piece set in WWII Europe. It is a true story that tells of a man and his ability in business to save many people from the Nazi death camps. As the war ends and the camps are being liberated, the businessman is given a gift by the people he has sheltered.

It says, 'whoever saves one life, saves the world entire.'" Can someone name this cinema great?

Answer: Schindler's List

This 1993 release is the most expensive and highest-grossing black-and-white film made, yet Steven Spielberg refused payment for making the film and donated any royalties as he viewed any funds would be "Blood Money."
5. Allright, let's cheer things up a bit. Next up is the story of a simple man who, without planning, ends up in moments of history-making events. After a New Year's Eve party, we find our lead man in the apartment of his former lieutenant where he is asked if he's found Jesus yet, to which our man answers, "I didn't know I was supposed to be looking for him, sir." What is this 1994 piece?

Answer: Forrest Gump

This is another film the Library of Congress selected in December of 2011. This was one of Paramount's biggest cash cows to boot. It was the studio's fastest film to hit the $100 million, $150 million and $250 million marks. Tom Hanks set up his deal on a percentage of the take instead of a regular paying gig and it netted him in the neighborhood of 40 million bucks. Nice haul for a day's pay, huh?
6. This star-studded monster hit the screen in '95. It's about a team of professional thieves trying to pull down the final big score after they botched the last gig, and the hound of a cop that's tailing them. During the cat-and-mouse game, the cop and crew lead man meet in a coffee shop to talk. With each one knowing full well what the other one is, the cop explains to the thief his view and the thief responds with, "I do what I do best, I take scores. You do what you do best, try to stop guys like me." Who's got the name of this one?

Answer: Heat

This one was filmed all over L.A. without using one single sound stage. This is also the first time De Niro and Pacino have ever acted together. Yeah, I know some of you are screaming "WRONG! What about 'Godfather Part 2'?" and yes they did appear on screen together in that one, but they have never acted together at the same time on the same sets.
7. Okay, this one's a toss-up from '96. It's kind of disturbing and funny at the same time. It's about a pregnant policewoman who's working to solve a triple homicide in her jurisdiction. Along with the killings, she's discovering all kinds of wrongful daring-do in the snowbound town she covers. Anybody have a clue what this movie is?

Answer: Fargo

In this film, the part of Carl Showalter was created for Steve Buscemi whereas Bill Macy had to practically beg the directors for the part of Jerry Lundegaard, a part he was born to play. Of course that's just my opinion; what do I know?
8. Here we have another funny but twisted flick. This one's the story of a paroled inmate who has to travel with the best of the worst criminals to a newly built supermax prison via airplane. En route to their destination, the bad boys decide they don't want to play nice and take over. Enter our paroled former Army Ranger to save the day. During a lull in the action, our hero is informed of a certain convict's problems by a complete whack-a-doo of a serial killer, who says, "He's a font of misplaced rage. Name your cliché; mother held him too much or not enough, last picked at kickball, late night sneaky uncle, whatever. Now he's so angry moments of levity actually cause him pain; gives him headaches. Happiness, for that gentleman, hurts." Does anyone know the name of this '97 tale?

Answer: Con Air

Did I say funny? Well I thought it was a funny movie, but I also think Janet Reno is Velma. You know, Velma from the "Scooby Doo Mysteries", all grown up with a real job.
9. Let's see what '98 had in store. This is the story of my favorite slacker, who enjoys bowling and inadvertently gets caught up in a kidnapping while trying to replace a cherished rug. A rug that really tied the room together. When our slacker is attacked and his prized rug ruined, one of his assailants presents a bowling ball and asks our friend what it is, to which he replies, "Obviously you're not a golfer." Who can give me the name of this one?

Answer: The Big Lebowski

What do you know? Third movie in a row with Steve Buscemi in it. Man, he's one hard-working Dude. The reason his character, Donny, is always being told to shut up is because his character in "Fargo" never stopped talking.
10. Allright, it's the end of the decade and what do we have here? A real obscure tale of two slackers/prophets who escort a woman with a heritage to New Jersey to prevent renegade angels from entering heaven and ripping the fabric of creation, ending mankind. When our heroine is first informed of her task, she inquires about the renegades and why they were kicked out of Heaven and were they sent to Hell. The one doing the explaining responds "Worse. Wisconsin. For the entire span of human history." Anybody know the name of this this one?

Answer: Dogma

I suppose a few of you have no idea about this one but I have to throw a curveball once in awhile. Needless to say, this movie caused quite the controversy and was picketed at several releases. During one ruckus, director/actor Kevin Smith mingled with the protesters and was even interviewed, under an alias, by local news saying he liked Kevin Smith's first film.
