Want an EASY movie quiz? Here it is.
PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWERS 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.
The questions are a mix of regular questions, true or false questions, and multiple choice questions. That should make it easier to guess the right answer. However, for balance, the movies are not only more recent fairly popular movies, but popular classics as well. To make it a worthwhile challenge, some of the questions are more difficult.
Please remember that I am on the other side of the world (of most of you) so I could be asleep when you send your answers, so be patient - I will get to your PN as soon as I can.
Now that we've made that clear, here are the questions. Either actual names of actors, or their screen names in the movies are acceptable. These are supposed to be a test of your attention to details and memory with respect to the movies, and using an internet site to find your answers is cheating, and no test of your movie knowledge. I've posted questions that are not easily answered by searching the internet anyway. Please number your answers with the same numbers as the questions. Now, give it a try......

Okay Movie Mavens, here you go. This HAS to be easier than the others were. Look, if you don't know what made the Wicked Witch melt in The Wizard of Oz, give it up, stick with politics.
So far only one person has attempted this quiz, and got 17 out of 20 right. Where are the movie lovers?
Okay, a second person has answered it and got a score of 15 out of 20. Obviously it isn't that hard, and everyone who has tried the quizzes, even if they got very low scores, said it was fun to do. Apparently most NT members would rather sink themselves into political quicksand - maybe they think THAT'S fun.
Regarding ? #1, there is a second part you should ask....Who was the actress playing the little girl's mother?
I should have added and the actor playing her father.
The problem with those kinds of questions, Paula, is that the answers can easily be found on internet sites such as IMDb, where it identifies the actress playing the little girl's mother to be Noel Neill, and the actor playing the father to be Kirk Alyn.
If you made your comment as an indication that my questions are so far out to be too difficult to answer, I must tell you that both members who have posted their answers to the quiz answered that question number 1 correctly.
That was not my intention. I just thought to add to your original question. I didn't need to look it up. I have known that fact for years.
Then I appreciate your input, but I get so many complaints that my quizzes are too hard, so I'm trying to make them easier.
I enjoy your quizzes. I don't always know the answers as my specialty is mostly behind the scenes facts.
