Emulsion Compulsion Movie Trivia Quiz

October 29th, 2008 by Scott Marks

Keaton & Chaplin

What Charlie Chaplin feature did Buster Keaton appear in?

Johnny, tell them what they win…

Nothing. Just my undying respect.

Jim Hemphill can’t play. He was probably around when I originally came up with most of these questions. For once, I dis-invite David Elliott from playing along. And something tells me Bushido John knows too much. The rest of you may leave your answers in the comments section.

Unlike the beloved Hitler on Film Quiz there will be no published answer key. I tried my best to make the answers unsearchable on imdb. I will gladly confirm correct answers and take the rest to the grave. Particularly when it comes to the final question which was tossed in my lap by Lloyd Sachs when he was writing at the Chicago Reader. In the era before the internet, it took me days of research to find the answer and I did it without help. So there!

Remember, this is your last chance to beat the other couples!

1. What film’s opening credit sequence misspells Katharine Hepburn’s name?

2. What film studio was the first ever to pay a star a million dollars for a single role?

3. In American Graffiti, John Milner’s (Paul LeMat) yellow coup has a unique license plate number. Name it.

4. What specifically do these three Shelly Winters films have in common: A Place in the Sun, Night of the Hunter and The Poseidon Adventure.

5. What is the only Bob Hope and Bing Crosby “Road” picture that ends with the violently insane Hope going off with Dorothy Lamour?

6. Frequently characters are shown standing outside theaters and/or going to the movies. Match the following movies with the films they appear in:

a. Ben-Hur                                   1. Goodbye, Columbus
b. Tess and Hardly Working         2. Dirty Harry
c. Dementia 13                            3. The Godfather
d. Problem Child 2                      4. The Big Picture
e. Pickup on South Street            5. The Collector
f. Rosemary’s Baby                      6. Mean Streets
g. The Sorrow and the Pity          7. American Graffiti
h. Play Misty for Me                    8. The Last Picture Show
i. The Searchers                          9. Cape Fear
j. The Bells of St. Mary’s            10. Annie Hall
k. Father of the Bride               11. The King of Comedy

7. Match these fictional films being made and/or screened with the movies that spawned them:

a. Hey, Hey in the Hayloft             1. Love and Death on Long Island
b. Meet Pamela                              2. The Bad and the Beautiful
c. Grapes of Winter                       3. Matinee
d. Day the World Ended                4. Sherlock, Jr.
e. Curse of the Cat Men                5. The Oscar
f. Pearls of the West                     6. CQ
g. Mant!                                       7. Barton Fink
h. Hot Pants College II                 8. Sullivan’s Travels
