HENRY FONDA & NATALIE PORTMAN MOVIE QUIZ
HENRY FONDA & NATALIE PORTMAN MOVIE QUIZ
PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWERS, ANY MOVIE OR ACTOR NAMES, MOVIE QUOTES OR EVEN A HINT IN A COMMENT, OR YOU WILL RUIN THE QUIZ FOR EVERYONE ELSE. POST THEM IN A PRIVATE NOTE TO ME, BUZZ OF THE ORIENT, AND I WILL REPLY WITH YOUR SCORE AND THE CORRECT ANSWERS.
Don't forget that I am on the other side of the world (of most of you) and I could be asleep when you send your answers, so be patient - I will get to your PN as soon as I can.
PLEASE, PLEASE , READ WHAT IS BELOW FIRST AND FOLLOW THE RULES IN ORDER TO GET FULL MARKS FOR YOUR ANSWERS. IT IS ALWAYS A LITTLE DIFFERENT FROM THE LAST QUIZ.
Back to actors so in this quiz, as usual, besides the two image clues, the third clue is and it is REQUIRED that the movie MUST be a movie in which Henry Fonda or Natalie Portman acted but ONLY in the movies listed on the IMDb movie lists that are linked following this paragraph. I have seen only about 4 of the movies on this quiz that I can remember, so, as always, some of the movies can be identified from just the images that often just spell out the title, but some may require you to either have watched the movies or be familiar with them or will require you to do a little research into them because the clues might represent an item, fact, scenario or aspect that will require you to have seen the movie or know the story or what the film is about. However, all you need are the linked IMDb lists to find the answers. I don't think any of the clues are actual screen shots from the movies. I try to use clues that do not make it easy to do a web search, and since this is a test of your knowledge of movies, web searching using web programs that identify movies from the clues is cheating.

Natalie Portman Movies (IMDb) LINK -> https://www.imdb.com/list/ls003361336/
Note that I never use the same movie more than once in the same quiz, and usually the order of the clues is important
THE RULES
I am being fairly lenient in my scoring, and not overly concerned about spelling mistakes, punctuation, capitalizing or leaving out or adding an extraneous "A" or "The" or obvious typos, but especially if you guess the answer you should check the movie name on the linked lists or web to make sure it is the full and correct name. For example, and this will be important for all my quizzes, you will lose a half mark if you make the title one word if it is two, or two words when it is only one because that means to me that you are not sure of the title. Just identifying the images does not necessarily mean that you know the name of the movie. That is only one of the reasons why it is important for you to check your answers with the lists to make sure they are correct. As well, if you can convince me that my clues are equally as relevant for or better indicative of a movie other than the one I've chosen, provided it is one of the movies on the IMDb lists linked above , I will accept that alternative as a good answer. In previous quizzes I did accept alternatives for the questions. Please also send only one answer for each question - I cannot score it if you provide more than one movie name per question.
More than once a situation came up on previous quizzes where the movie list link I used came up with a different name than the one the participant opened although it was the same link, so if that happens, please tell me when I score your answers. Be careful to use ONLY the lists linked above, because there may be other similar lists that will not have the same movies on them.
SPECIAL HINT FOR THOSE WHO BOTHER TO READ WHAT'S ABOVE
Although some of the movies can be identified by just one of the clues, some of the clues can apply to the wrong movie, so it is IMPORTANT to take BOTH clues into consideration.
Please number your answers the same as the questions.

It's getting harder to find a new genre to use for the quiz so I'm back to using actors and actresses. I know that Henry Fonda and Natalie Portman are an odd couple to pair up but what is important for me is that between the two of them their movie lists total no less than 80 movies, and in this case the Fonda list is 38 movies and the Portman list is 45 movies, and also that there is enough information on the lists that I can find and choose relevant clues. So another week, another quiz for you to play, but always remember...

This quiz will be closed on Friday November 24th at 10 p.m. New York City time. I'm looking forward to your submissions.
I have seen several of these movies
That should give you a head start.
Comb your hair and take a wiz
It's time to do the movie quiz
Good advice.
Interesting clues, good choices Buzz. Will start to look into these.
It's a really easy quiz. Some of the answers shout at you, and with some only one clue is the answer.
I have a couple of ideas for new quizzes that I'd like to share with you, so I'll PN you soon. I don't think you've used them before.
And they are GOOD ideas. I'm going to start checking them out for the next quiz. Your suggestions are much appreciated.
Submitted
Received and scored, thank you.
Natalie Portman is going to be tough. She has done so little.
Her list is 45 movies. Except for a bunch of very famous actresses most of them only have on average about 30 movies, which is why I can't use them.
OMG, where was I?
Ranting about politics. LOL
Submitted with a Sunday morning bounce
Thankfully we're still on the Front (Home) Page.
Woo Hoo!! Monday morning and we're still on the Front Page!!!
Nearly midnight here Snuffy and then into Tuesday....enjoy your day..🦘🦘
Right now it's 9:30 p.m. where I am.
Hmmm, so it's Tuesday already? As you live in the future, can you tell me the winning lottery numbers are for tonights drawing? I'll split it with ya!
Morning..yes if only...ah well that's life...
Now the first major decision for the day...what to have for brekkie..
I've been asking people that for years.
I just had breakfast: cheese omelette, toast with jam and marmalade, lightly fried cherry tomatoes, orange juice and a mug of coffee.
Crikey that does not sound bad at all..
I had a cuppa and toasted muffin with Vegemite..
It's nearly lunch time here now so more decisions..
It's an hour here after you posted that and we're still good, in fact right on top thanks to you and Shona1.
Evening...there you go Buzz..signed sealed and voted up..night..🐨🐨
Thanks. As I told Snuffy, right now we're right on top thanks to you and him.
It looks like we need a Monday afternoon bump!
Thank you. It looks like we're back on top.
Submitted.
Received and scored, thank you.
I combed my hair and took a wiz
then I finished the movie quiz
I got your note and gave your score
I wouldn't ask for any more.
Tuesday morning bump - and we're #2 on the Front Page!! Woo Hoo!!!!!
Good move.
HELP!!! We're off the page again with 3 more days to go.
Here let me fix that for you...think the other mob must be sleeping on the job..
Keep saying they live in the wrong part of the world..always behind us and dragging up the rear...where as us mob are bright eyed and bushy tailed..
Might be off the air for a few days.. heading off to another coastal town for a few days break... catch ya later..
Thanks. You did the trick. Except for Way, the others all seem to be about a half a day behind us.
Have a good trip.
Happy Thanksgiving Eve to all, along with a Wednesday morning bump.
Yep, it's Thanksgiving Eve for all those in the good old USA.. I shot my turkey the other day, had a lot of excitement in the frozen food aisle I can tell you...
And a Wednesday afternoon bump to remain on the front page...
come on in everybody, the quiz is fun and the wild turkey is ready...
Morning Snuffy...Happy Thanksgiving if you celebrate it, to all you mob across the Pacific..
Run Turkey's run..🍗🍗🍗🦃🦃🦃
Thanks Shona. Yep, a fun holiday to be sure. When I was younger and a certain phrase was popular here in the US, I called this holiday Happy Cannibal Day, due to all the "jive turkeys" eating turkey...
That's why I go hunting in the frozen food aisle. Little buggers can't outrun a shotgun blast when their little legs are frozen stiff... LOL
(for those sensitive souls who quiver in horror about the mention of a gun, this was sarcasm.)
Only time we have turkey here is at Christmas... otherwise you never see it...
Thanksgiving always does look spectacular in the movies etc..
I come from a hunting, shooting, fishing family so no drama here..
Enjoy it all...🦃🦃🦃
That's something we need to do more of around here, the wild turkeys can do damage to crops and when they yard up in the winter that's when you realize how many there actually is around here, there can be easily 200 per flock in the fields.
We're still right on top, thanks.
Seems to me Snuffy is going to celebrate it by drinking it. LOL
You would use a shotgun? Is it worth having to pick all the pellets out of the bird or do you spit them out when eating?
And I come from a fishing family. Nobody ever had a gun but when I was a kid I had a water pistol and a cap gun.
The pellets don't go very far into the bird, so very easy to find and clean out.
Okay, then I guess you don't need a metal detector.
LOL I'm going to post a satire about Biden forgiving Liberty and Bell today.
Just sent in. Decided to do it now, for I may not be back until Monday, depends on what the boys want to do for hunting, we still have a lot of tags to fill.
Received and scored. Thank you. Now seeking just one more to reach my double digit goal.
It’s been a few years now since we had wild turkey instead of domestic. I can tell you that the wild bird is much tastier than even a fresh, range bird. I used to dry brine mine and then cook it slow on a Weber grill. A great tasting bird.
I haven't had a taste of turkey since 2019 because the big hotel expat Thanksgiving dinner has not been renewed since. I think I miss the stuffing more than the bird.
Stop and Shop Grocery Stores in NY have had turkeys on sale for 49 cents per pound. I got three twenty pounders. One is now dry brining for tomorrow and the other two are still froze solid.
I am also having stuffing, mashed potatoes, fresh green beans, giblet gravy, candied carrots, collard greens, cranberry sauce and dilly bread. My desert choice is cheesecake or banana pudding. No pumpkin pie though. I reckon that should be enough for me.
What is everyone else having?
Thanks a lot, you just made my mouth water, although I can at least have the mashed potatoes and green beans.
Just a simple family dinner planned, the dinner is hosted by a daughter and all adults are bringing something. I prepped the sausage & sage stuffing, just need to bake it today, also being provided is turkey, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, corn casserole and yeast rolls.
Funny story about frozen turkeys. Years back I had a 12 cubic foot chest freezer that was very old so I bought a new upright freezer to take it's place. Prior to the new freezer being delivered, I went thru the old freezer to see what all we had in there and only found one turkey. At the time we always bought 20lb + birds as we were feeding a family of teenagers who as you know can eat like there's no tomorrow. But after setting up the new freezer and giving it 24 hours to cool down, when I moved the food from the old to new freezer there were 6 turkeys. My wife swears she didn't buy any turkeys and I know I didn't but cannot for the life of me figure out where the additional 5 came from.
I hope you and yours (and everybody else here) have a very happy Thanksgiving.
Oh yeah, and a Thursday morning bump. I see we're in first place on the Front Page, here's an attempt to stay there.
Yep, we're still visible thanks to loyal quizplayers like you. Although Thanksgiving is not celebrated where I am, I do give thanks to all of you who participate in the quizzes, to those of you who help to keep us up front and even to those who don't play but support us by voting up the quiz or just make a comment.
At this point in time there have been 9 who participated, and I usually indicate that there is only one day (24 hours) left to submit answers. However, this time I really don't expect any more because of the Thanksgiving Holiday. In that regard I wish all who have played and/or helped keep us up front a Happy, Healthy, Safe and Delicious Thanksgiving Holiday and in fact I extend that to all members of TheNewsTalkers and their loved ones, whether friend or foe.
Back to work today, the boys pushed back the hunt until Sunday.
However, this time I really don't expect any more because of the Thanksgiving Holiday.
Thanks for reminding me, I need to call ahead to see if all my errand stops will be open today, to me its another work day, to others its a 4 day weekend.
A 4 day weekend and now 4 hours left if anyone wants to have a little fun.
There are no Henry Fonda and Natalie Portaman movies. He died when she was one year old...
You really should read the seed before making such a dumb comment. It's obvious you didn't read the seed, you only came in to be snarky.
Well, maybe he was just trying to show off how smart he is, but anyway he did help to keep the quiz up front.
Then I'm the humorless prig. I didn't know.
You guys are a barrel of laughs! I voted up.
SMH...
I wish you'd actually read Buzz's entire introduction before jumping in head first into concrete and make such a simpleminded, doltish, obtuse, ludicrous comment. If you had read it, you would have known that he did not say that Fonda and Portman acted in the same movies.
Well, no matter what, this quiz will soon be closed and another one posted. The title of the next one shouldn't confuse anyone.
Very good.
Now, about what you read here.
You DID read the seed, right?
And to think you said I was trolling!!!
At least he helped to keep the Quiz up front, and I thank you for helping as well. Since it's a holiday weekend why don't you dive in and see how much fun it is to do the quiz?
Thank you for the invite.
Buzz, to be honest, I love movies but am no good at remembering all the details of them like some people can do. I envy that, but on the plus side, when I do see a movie for the second time, if it has been a while, I still enjoy it.
I may tackle one soon if I am familiar with the topic!
My quizzes used to be much more of a challenge because many of the questions would have required to have seen the movie. As it happens, I'm pretty good with noticing and remembering details in movies and in many cases I watch them more than once or twice. However, the quizzes are now different, and as I've explained, are now more like a game or a treasure hunt and you don't need to see the movies at all to get a perfect score just using the IMDb list of movies posted on the quiz. The questions can all be answered either by identifying the clues I post which virtually shout out the movie title or the clues can be found in the mini-synopsis of the movies that are on the linked IMDb list. Try it, you'll see. Practice with this quiz above along with the answers posted in my comment below this one.
I do hope you'll try! Believe me, there have been many quizzes when I haven't seen even one of the movies (or even the overall theme). Buzz recently had a quiz about anime movies, and I've never seen one. His clues were good enough to give me ideas to compare with the movie list he gives us.
One thing that should be appreciated about these quizzes is that it is one of the few topics posted on this site where it doesn't matter what your political bent is, we're all one family having fun together.
This quiz is now closed. The winners, all with perfect scores of 20 , in order of submitting answers, are Split Personality, Snuffy, Veronica, Jasper2529, Dig, charger 383, Kathleen , and bccrane . Missing just one answer for a score of 19 is Vic Eldred . My congratulations and thanks to all - I'm sure you enjoyed it.
Looking at the scores I'm beginning to feel that although all but one prefer for me to continue this method which doesn't require you to even see the movie and the answers can all be found on the linked movie list and from identifyng the clues is really not much of a challenge but is more like a game or a treasure hunt. However, what is good about it and worth continuing is that it is a distraction, and all who play say it's fun to do. Sad, is it not, that so few will give a try to something that will distract them for a while from the "slings and arrows of outrageous fortune" now occurring and is fun to do. So for those timid souls, here are the answers that they can compare with the clues and practise to finally brave the challenge.
The next quiz now posted, is an interesting mix, and it's called The Whole Shebang . Hope you find time over this holiday weekend to check it out.
It won't be on the Front (Home) Page for long, so here is a link to it:

Congrats everybody on a well-deserved score. And Thanks Buzz for a fun quiz. Too bad so many people would rather snark about politics than have some fun.
I enjoy creating them as much as you enjoy playing them.
Congratulations, everyone, and thanks Buzz!
Next quiz!
You're welcome.
