Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Deadly Magnetism

Answer: Fatal Attraction

An iconic film of the 1980s, 'Fatal Attraction' (1987) showed the nightmarish and inevitably tragic results when Michael, as Dan Gallagher, succumbed to the charms of Alex Forrest (Glenn Close) who then stalked him and his family.
2. An Ideal Homicide

Answer: A Perfect Murder

This was a 1998 remake of Hitchcock's 'Dial M for Murder' in which Michael, as Steven Taylor, blackmailed his wife's lover to kill her, only to find that the best-laid plans can go disastrously astray.
3. The Parents of the Bride and Groom

Answer: The In-laws

'The In-Laws' (2003) showed CIA agent Steve Tobias (Michael) dragging mild and conventional Jerry Peyser (the father of his son's bride-to-be), played by Albert Brooks, into a series of improbable and hilarious adventures. After stumbling into one of Steve's spy missions at their first meeting, Jerry was determined to call off the wedding, but when their children were threatened, the two prospective in-laws united to divert a torpedo and blow up a submarine in Lake Michigan.
4. Moving Quickly

Answer: Running

In this 1979 film, Michael played Michael Andropolis a man who struggled to become an Olympic marathon runner but discovered in the end that winning is not the important thing.
5. The 'Conflict of the Perfumed Flowers'

Answer: War of the Roses

Michael starred with Kathleen Turner in this 1989 film. They played Oliver and Barbara Rose who became involved in a vicious divorce battle. Both wanted to stay in their house and began a campaign to force the other to leave. Danny de Vito played the lawyer in the midst of the fighting, in which neither participant would give way.
6. Structure of Masonry and Public Way

Answer: Wall Street

Michael received the Best Actor Award in 1988 for his role as Gordon Gecko, the ruthless corporate raider, who took the young stockbroker Bud Fox (played by Charlie Sheen) under his wing. He taught Bud his philosophy that greed was good, and Bud was swept into a world of shady deals and high-living, which brought him into conflict with his father (played by his real-life father Martin Sheen).
7. Dropping to a Lower Position

Answer: Falling Down

Michael played William Foster, in this 1993 film, where he was known as D-Fens to the police, from the license plate of his car, which he abandonned in a Los Angeles traffic jam. In his attempt to walk across town to his daughter's birthday party, his frustrations boiled over and he started to fight back against the injustices he encountered on his journey.
8. Keep Quiet

Answer: Don't Say a Word

In this 2001 film Michael played psychiatrist Nathan Conrad whose young daughter was kidnapped by a gang of thieves, led by Patrick Koster (Sean Bean). The only way he could secure her release was to obtain some vital information from a very disturbed young woman (played by Brittany Murphy) about where a valuable jewel could be found.
9. The 'Precious Stone of the Long River'

Answer: Jewel of the Nile

This 1985 film was a sequel to 'Romancing the Stone' and reunited Michael with Kathleen Turner, as Jack Colton and Joan Wilder. Joan was abducted in a Middle East country and Jack, along with his partner Ralph (Danny de Vito), tried to rescue her. They also wanted to find the 'jewel' which turned out to be very different from what they expected.
10. The Chief Person of what were Originally British Colonies.

Answer: The American President

In 1995 Michael took on a totally different role from many of his previous films, that of the charming and successful President Andrew Shepherd. Shepherd was a widower, who started to date a political lobbyist, Sydney Ellen Wade (played by Annette Bening). As a result he had to face media and political opposition before deciding what was really important.
