The MVBM Movie/TV Quiz

[obie]

These are hard, though I like the declining value concept.

38. One Crazy Summer?
41. Rob Reiner's mega-bomb North?

[jmh30]

I meant for them to be hard. :)

John Cusack was in One Crazy Summer, Richard Dreyfuss was not.

Neither Paula Marshall nor Harvey Keitel were involved with North.

41. The Piano

[jmh30]

Nope.

[kopiteinkc]

38. Stand by me

[kopiteinkc]

39. A view to a kill

[kopiteinkc]

40. Friends

[kopiteinkc]

42. American Graffiti

39. A view to a kill Nicely done on both of these.

John Cusack played Gordie Lachance (Wil Wheaton)'s older brother in a few flashback scenes in Stand By Me, Richard Dreyfuss was the narrator as the adult Gordie.

Robert Brown played M in the '80s Bond movies, and Lois Maxwell was Miss Moneypenny in every Bone movie from Dr. No until AVTAK, through three incarnations of James Bond. Macnee played Sir Godfrey, and was unique to AVTAK.

kopiteinkc, you're not looking these up, are you?

No, I am a movie nut. Scary really.

Start asking me FA Cup goalscorers from the 1960s and 70s and I will scare you with my knowledge of useless trivia!!

"Friends" and American Graffiti are also correct. Jessica Hecht plays Ross (David Schwimmer)'s ex-wife's lesbian life partner, and Elliott Gould is (IMO) tremendously funny in his guest spots as Ross and Monica (Courteney Cox Arquette)'s father. American Graffiti was Suzanne Somers's first movie role; she was credited as "Blonde in T-Bird".

Anyway, 36 points to kopiteinkc for these four. Standings:

41. Get Shorty

[jmh30]

6 points to Obie for Get Shorty. Keitel and Marshall had cameos as, respectively, the star and director of the movie-within-a-movie.

46. The Fifth element

[kopiteinkc]

43. Dogma

One of my fave movies.

[jmh30]

Both correct. Janeane Garofalo had a small part as Bethany (Linda Fiorentino)'s friend in the beginning of Dogma; Jeff Anderson (best known as Randal in Clerks) played a gun store employee. In Fifth Element, Chris Tucker played that really annoying loud guy and I can't even remember who Luke Perry played.

44. The movie: Big.

Glad I waited I believe the first two also starred in Friends. Though I took your point about one-time roles, I don't think Jon Lovitz was in more than one episode, but I don't watch it any more so I could be wrong.

[otterulz]

42. Pearl Harbor (I hope)

[billreeves]

45. Star Trek: Deep Space 9
