The correct answer is 'E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial'
Steven Spielberg's "E.T." is a great film. All the kids love this movie.

Movie Trivia Question 3
Total Oscar Trivia - So much for odds in favor of at least winning one or two Oscars! So far two films were nominated a whopping 11 times and failed to get even one Statue. One happened at the 1986 show when "The Color Purple" got shafted. The other one came in 1978. Which movie did that happen to that year?
The correct answer is 'The Turning Point'
An excellent film about ballet dancers, former and current, gathering in Oklahoma couldn't keep up with Luke Skywalker and "Annie Hall". The movie, aside from dance, was about dreams (abandoned ones and fresh ones), young love and old complicated friendships. It really was good and would have fared better in a different year. There is one scene that alone is worth a look. The two historic friends finally got to that "Turning Point" and had a literal punching/slapping match on a rooftop. It all ended with a laugh and a hug. What a cat fight!

Movie Trivia Question 5
The Film History of Tim Burton - In 1990, Tim Burton returned to the director's chair in a much more low-key, Burtonesque film entitled 'Edward Scissorhands'. This film marked Burton's first of many collaborations with which actor, who played the title role?

Movie Trivia Question 8
Jane Austen's "Persuasion" (The Movie) - What are the characters doing when Henry Hayter comes to the Great House and immediately becomes upset and leaves?
The correct answer is 'Dancing'
Everyone is dancing and Henrietta, whom Mr. Hayter loves, happens to be partnered with Captain Wentworth. She is laughing as Captain Wentworth swings her round in circles just as Hayter walks in. He turns and leaves in a jealous fit. As an aside, in the novel Mr. Hayter's name is Charles, just as Mr. Musgrove's is. I can only suppose his name was changed to Henry for the film to keep it simple.
Movie Trivia Question 9
Presidential Performances - (2001) I am President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and I was in office on the day when the Japanese first bombed one of our naval bases in the Pacific. It was a terrible day, that drew America into the Second World War. I don't have a large role in this movie, which focuses more on two of our fighter pilots, and their acts of heroism during that dark and terrible time. These two boys grew up together, and their friendship never faltered, until they fell in love with the same woman.
