1. Name a movie role that was portrayed so well, and so distinctively, by one actor or actress that you can not imagine any other playing that part. Hannibal Lecter 1. Name a movie with an extremely sad ending. Steel Magnolias 1. Name a movie that is a sequel, or part of a series, which is much much much worse than the movie it’s a sequel to, or the previous movie in the series. The Godfather Part III 1. What is the best action scene ever? Keanu Reeves dodging bullets in the Matrix movies, especially the first one. 1. Name a movie with a very short name. Saw 1. Name a movie that is frequently quoted on the SDMB. The Princess Bride 1. Name a movie that lots of people have heard of without having actually seen it. Casablanca 1. Name a movie based on true events which actually sticks pretty authentically correctly close to those true events (but which is not a documentary… ie, it involves actors playing the role of real people, not real historical footage). This is a hard one. Schindler’s List, maybe? 1. What foreign language film has been seen by the most Americans? Life is Beautiful? I know I’m missing something obvious here. 1. Name a specific individual (living or dead) involved in Hollywood moviemaking who is neither an actor/actress nor a director, but is famous for something else. Walt Disney ---
