June 6, 2008 Dbax Men's 50 1146 posts	Movie Trivia 12 Ken, you are up.
June 6, 2008 Ken Men's 55 464 posts	I wasn't sure about Hoffman, because I think Nicholson also was in at least 3 best movie films (Cuckoos nest, Departed, Terms of Endearment). Ok, how about this one. We all know who the stars of Deliverance were, but who played the sheriff, at the end of the movie, who told John Voigt not to come back to his town?
June 7, 2008 2awesom Men's 50 295 posts	I somewhat certain that the sheriff was played by the author of the novel dickey?
June 7, 2008 2awesom Men's 50 295 posts	ok it's early i'm somewhat certain... james dickey
June 7, 2008 Sisavic 131 posts	Ken, It's possible that Nicholson could be another answer, but I couldn't verify. The question referred to TOP billing, not just be in the film. I don't know what billing he had in the 3 films you mentioned.
June 8, 2008 Ken Men's 55 464 posts	Awesome, you're right; it was the author James Dickey. You're up. Sis, I think he had at the very least Co-Star billing on Cukoos Nest and Departed. Not sure about Terms of Endearment.
June 9, 2008 2awesom Men's 50 295 posts	Movie - Tora Tora Tora As the japanese were beginning their attack on Pearl Harbor a flight of B-17's were also attempting to land, what was the name & rank of the flight of B-17's Commander? Not the actor's name the Real Life name of the Commander.
June 9, 2008 J3 208 posts	Just saw the movie again for like the 20th time. Major. Truman Landon
June 9, 2008 2awesom Men's 50 295 posts	That is Correct! Next!
June 11, 2008 J3 208 posts	Midnight Cowboy was the first movie to do what?
June 11, 2008 Sisavic 131 posts	First film to present a male prostitute? Win an academy award with an X- or NC-rating?
June 11, 2008 J3 208 posts	First X-rated movie to win academy award. You are correct and are up.
June 11, 2008 Sisavic 131 posts	What film's opening credits were rated X? (I think there's only on.)
June 13, 2008 Sisavic 131 posts	HINT: It's a famous Sci-Fi film.
June 13, 2008 Ken Men's 55 464 posts	How about the Jane Fonda film"Barbarella"? (But I don't remember it being x-rated)
June 13, 2008 Ken Men's 55 464 posts	How about the Jane Fonda film"Barbarella"? (But I don't remember it being x-rated)
June 13, 2008 Sisavic 131 posts	Ken, Barbarella is correct. Jane does a strip tease during the opening credits. My movie book says the film is PG, not X. Check out Jane experiencing the "Excessive Machine" in this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ye5Jo1I4XXc&feature=related A couple of other curious things from the film: The band Duran Duran takes its name from the mad scientist Dr. Durand Durand The village name of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch was used as the password for Dildano's headquarters.
June 14, 2008 Ken Men's 55 464 posts	In the movie "The Naked Jungle" Charlton Heston's plantation is besieged by who or what?
June 16, 2008 2awesom Men's 50 295 posts	Ants Lots of Ants!
June 16, 2008 Ken Men's 55 464 posts	Yup, army ants. You're up.
June 16, 2008 2awesom Men's 50 295 posts	This actor passed away a few years back. He co-starred in All The Right Moves with Tom Cruise and in Footloose with Kevin Bacon, he also made a Cameo Appearance in Rush Hour. He has a more famous Brother, who is this actor?
June 16, 2008 Ken Men's 55 464 posts	Chris Penn, Sean Penn's smarter brother.
June 16, 2008 2awesom Men's 50 295 posts	Ken- You are up sir! Correct!
June 16, 2008 Ken Men's 55 464 posts	In the Heston movie "The War Lord", what caused the villagers to rebel?
June 18, 2008 Ken Men's 55 464 posts	Hint: There was a similar situation in Braveheart.
June 18, 2008 Dbax Men's 50 1146 posts	The price of gas?
June 18, 2008 Ken Men's 55 464 posts	Close, DBAX. You have to take off the "g" and add an "s" at the end.
June 19, 2008 Ken Men's 55 464 posts	OK, 3 days is long enough for this one. The answer is Heston's invoking of the right of "Primae Noctis", or the right of the lord of the manor to sleep with the bride on her wedding night. Next one: In the movie "Weird Science", one of the cool guys, who would always make fun of the two nerdy kids, is played by a now accomplished actor. Who was it? (Hint: he stars in a popular movie that is out now.)
June 19, 2008 Dbax Men's 50 1146 posts	Bill Paxton
June 19, 2008 Ken Men's 55 464 posts	No, he was the brother. And he was very funny. This guy was one of the two pretty boys with the fancy hairdos.
June 19, 2008 Dbax Men's 50 1146 posts	Totally forgot about Robert Downey Jt. aka Ironman. Ironman is great by the way.
June 19, 2008 Ken Men's 55 464 posts	You got it. You're up.
June 20, 2008 Dbax Men's 50 1146 posts	In the current remake of Hairspray, who is it playing the "flasher" in the beginning of the movie?
June 22, 2008 Dbax Men's 50 1146 posts	Hint.............He also had something to do with the cult flick, Pink Flamingos.
June 22, 2008 stattad Men's 65 140 posts	John Waters?
June 23, 2008 Dbax Men's 50 1146 posts	You are correct sir!
June 23, 2008 stattad Men's 65 140 posts	What was John Milner's license plate in "American Graffiti"?

June 23, 2008 stattad Men's 65 140 posts	You've got it!
June 24, 2008 2awesom Men's 50 295 posts	Here's a 2 question offering from the Tom Cruise/Jack Nicholson Movie A Few Good Men 1. Twice towards the beginning of the film Tom Cruise is shown having softball practice, both times he is shown hitting, obviously using a bat. What bat was he using? Keep in mind this film was made/depicted during the early 1990's. 2. Same movie- What Oscar winning actor made a Cameo appearance in the film, that lasted approx. 1 minute?
June 24, 2008 Ken Men's 55 464 posts	Cuba Gooding Jr. is the second answer. As for the bat, I think it was an old Demarini, but not sure. All I know is that they should have had a stand in for Tom Cruise when he was swinging, lol.
June 24, 2008 2awesom Men's 50 295 posts	Cuba Gooding is right! The bat was a black single wall TPS-Louisville You are up!
June 24, 2008 Ken Men's 55 464 posts	In what movie did Di Niro play a catcher?
