You're right. I'm sorry. There were 2 points for question 3. I didn't see 2 of the correct answer comments I wrote when I came to scoring it.No, I should have 13. Extra points for Juliet and Shakespeare on #3, right?
I'll do the next quiz. No one else is playing, but who cares? :mail:
1. I've got the box set so should know some of these but although I felt tempted to look I don't cheat. I'll probably be kicking myself when you give the answers. I've only really watched them once when Dad bought them for me. I set a Calamity Jane question last time so that probably won't be 1 of them. My guesses are Don't sit under the apple tree, On moonlight bay, pillow talk & the man who knew nothing. You've really got me out of improvising mode & into thinking mode here.Quiz # whatever:
1. Name any film that Rock Hudson and Doris Day starred in together. Extra points for every other one you name.
2. Name any film that Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman starred in together. Extra points for every other one you name.
3. In what film do the brothers Beau and Jeff Bridges play brothers?

14. Name any and all actresses that have played Queen Elizabeth II, including on TV. (points for each)
(Not a lot of questions, but many options for multiple points.)
I was right. I'm kicking myself for not knowing the other answers to #1. As soon as you told me the answers I thought "well, that definitely rings a bell." I've no idea for the actor in Godfather I. I'm kicking myself for answers to question 6 because as soon as you gave the answers I thought "Oh yes! They did play Batman.". I'm also kicking myself for question 7 because my Sister was rattling on about the film for weeks when it came out until she got it. You are too generous. You didn't ask that question so I shouldn't get credit for it. Damn, now you mention it, I recall Helen Mirren playing the Virgin Queen & mixed Helen Mirren & Meryl Streep up. I remember Meryl Streep in the iron lady.OK, here's the score and answers:
1. Pillow Talk is correct. (1 pt.) Also, Lover Come Back and Send Me No Flowers. (TBH, I wouldn't have got them all, either.)
2. Notorious (Hitchcock) and Indiscreet
3. The Fabulous Baker Boys (fun film!)
4. Correct for Godfather II. Are you sure you can't name who played him in Godfather I? Iconic actor starting in the 50s. "Make him an offer he can't refuse," was a famous line. Also, in the 50s, famous for shouting, "Stella!" (Aw go on, try.) (1 pt.)
5. 5 pts!
6. Michael Keaton. Others are: Clooney, Val Kilmer, Christian Bale, Ben Affleck. (And minor ones.)
7. 3 pts for the original movie; some in the remake were George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Julia Roberts
8. The Wiz
9. Man of La Mancha
10. 1 pt.
11. 1 pt.
12. 1 pt. Plus bonus for Mark Lester
13. 2 pts. (Also, Helen Mirren)
14. Again, Helen Mirren (Streep played Thatcher in a film, though)
15 points, unless you can come back to me on the actor who played Don Corleone in Godfather I.
Marlon Brando was the original Vito Corleone. And I have no problem with giving extra points when additional info is given. It's a moveable feast.I was right. I'm kicking myself for not knowing the other answers to #1. As soon as you told me the answers I thought "well, that definitely rings a bell." I've no idea for the actor in Godfather I.

No, I've drawn a blank for that. :0)
Thank you very much. No, it doesn't ring a bell. I wouldn't have got that in a million years. Thank you very much for the answer. Your question just brought back good memories for me & my connection with Mark Lester being Oliver & also being little Joe in Black Beauty made me happy. I remember singing in English when the English teacher played Oliver as a change from watching the old film or reading the book. Good Memories! I still sing those songs now. :0)Marlon Brando was the original Vito Corleone. And I have no problem with giving extra points when additional info is given. It's a moveable feast.
