Movie Question 2
Bride of Sci-Fi Movie Stumpers of the 50s - An unidentified flying object was sighted as it flew over Oakridge, traveling at over 50 miles per second. It landed in Stone Canyon, near Bear Lake and Grant's Lodge. In what movie did this event occur?
The correct answer is 'The Cosmic Man'
"The Cosmic Man" was a very underrated cheapie, starring John Carradine as the title character, who was only shown as a 'negative' creature (photographic, that is). The Cosmic Man's aims were a bit strange. The majority of his actions involved him searching out and destroying supplies of rare materials, that were needed in scientific or defense-related works.
In the character's own words: "I am one of many cosmonauts. Our purpose is manifold. We travel for searching out and exploring new worlds of which there are countless millions in this universe. Many observers such as I have visited this planet before. Many more will come in the future. What we learn of lifeforms, atmosphere, raw materials, all this knowledge is transmitted to all the advanced civilizations in the free cosmos. Some worlds are old, their peoples must migrate to younger planets where living conditions are similar. Some worlds are lifeless, but have an abundance of life-giving material which can be shared by all. Your vast oceans for instance, have been mined for centuries by a society from a far distant world. The materials they remove will never be of any use to any living creature of your world."
So basically, he was an intergalactic Socialist. But even with that slight political bent, this was a surprisingly well-written and well-acted film. Bruce Bennett was featured as the scientist who became sympathetic to the Cosmic Man's aims and tried to help him before the authorities could use a special magnetic deflector to neutralize him.

Movie Question 3
Fools Rush In - What was the name of the hot dog stand by Alex's apartment in New York City?
The correct answer is 'Grey Papaya's'
Movie Question 4
15 Degrees of Renee Zellweger - (2000) Helen Hunt stars with Mel Gibson in a very funny movie about a chauvinist who wakes up, after nearly being electrocuted, with the amazing ability to hear women's thoughts. At first he uses this ability for his own personal gains, but he soon finds that he comes to care a lot more than he ever did before.
The correct answer is 'What Women Want'
Nancy Meyers directed and Marisa Tomei, Alan Alda, Bette Midler and Delta Burke also starred. The only flaw in this delightful movie is the fact that all the loose ends are tied up way too neatly, and way too quickly.
Movie Question 5
20Q - This next film, also released in 1963, features Vincent as Magistrate Cordier, a man who becomes possessed by the horla. It makes him murder against his will the woman that he loves and bury her body in the back yard. Ewww. It was from the book by French writer Guy de Mapessant.
The correct answer is 'Diary of a Madman'
This is also one of my favorites. Vincent has kind of a Jekyll and Hyde role here, and he handles it extremely well. Nancy Kovack was an unknown at the time, but you'd never know it. She does a great job.
Movie Question 6
Great Moments in Movie Trivia - In the '60s comedy 'It's a Mad,Mad,Mad,Mad World' whose character kicks the bucket?
The correct answer is 'Jimmy Durante'
Durante's character dies in the opening scene of the movie, but not before he tells about a fortune buried under a 'Big W'. In his death throes he literally kicks a metal bucket down a rocky slope.
Movie Question 7
About a Boy - Who plays Will, the lead character, in 'About a Boy'?

80s Oscars - Who hosted the most Oscar ceremonies in the eighties?
