HOLIDAY MOVIE QUIZ

aka PROFESSOR HUBERT FARNSWORTH’S ONLY SLIGHTLY FUTURISTIC HOLIDAY MOVIE QUIZ


Another great quiz by Dennis Cozzalio.








1) 

BEST MOVIE OF 2010
Giorgos Lanthimos' DOGTOOTH.

2) 

2ND-FAVORITE POLANSKI
FEARLESS VAMPIRE KILLERS 

3) JASON STATHAM 

OR DWAYNE 

"THE ROCK" JOHNSON
I love both these guys' on screen persona but I 

prefer The Rock more by just a smidge.

4) FAVORITE MOVIE THAT COULD 

BE CLASSIFIED 

AS A GENRE HYBRID
ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND

5) 

HOW IMPORTANT IS FOREKNOWLEDGE 

OF A FILM'S PRODUCTION HISTORY? 

SHOULD IT FACTOR INTO ONE'S 

REACTION TO A FILM?
No it shouldn't factor into one's reaction in my opinion. 

Should be a general rule of thumb that you judge a film 

by what the final product is. What's on the screen.

6) WILLIAM POWELL & MYRNA LOY 

OR CARY GRANT & IRENE DUNNE?

Def Cary & Irene.

7) 

BEST ACTOR OF 2010
Edgar Ramirez in CARLOS

8) MOST IMPORTANT LESSON 

LEARNED FROM THE PAST 

DECADE OF 

WATCHING MOVIES
We've got to make cinema more diverse in 

front of & behind the camera. There's been 

decent progress over the past decade but I 

would hate to reach 2020 and have the

 industry be pretty much as it is now. 

9) LAST MOVIE SEEN 
(DVD/BLURAY/THEATER)
At home on bluray: CASINO JACK (2010)
Theatre: RABBIT HOLE (2010)

10) MOST APPROPRIATE PUNISHMENT 

     FOR DIRECTOR TOM SIX
force him to make an animated 

Human Centipede for Disney?

11) 

BEST UNDER-THE-RADAR 

MOVIE ALMOST NO ONE 

ELSE HAS HAD A CHANCE 

TO SEE
For 2010? This cute little Aasif Mandvi movie called 

TODAY'S SPECIAL was criminally under seen. 

It got dumped onto Netflix.

12) SHEREE NORTH 

OR ANGIE DICKINSON?
sweet Sheree 💗

13) FAVORITE NAKEDLY AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL MOVIE
Orson Welles's  F FOR FAKE

for Asheville, NC.

15) 

BEST DIRECTOR OF 2010
Giorgos Lanthimos for DOGTOOTH.

16) 2ND FAVORITE

19) JOE DON BAKER 

        OR BOE SVENSON?
Joe Donnie Bakes Cake.

20) 

OF THOSE NOTABLE FIGURES 

IN THE WORLD OF MOVIES 

WHO DIED IN 2010, NAME 

THE ONE YOU'LL MISS 

THE MOST
Leslie Nielsen..   

:'-(

21) 

THINK OF A MOVIE WITH A 

NOTABLE MUSICAL SCORE 

& DESCRIBE WHAT IT MIGHT 

FEEL LIKE WITHOUT THAT ACCOMPANIMENT
I think if you removed E.T. THE EXTRA TERRESTRIAL's 

music it would be way too scary & just emotionally 

overwhelming. It'd be like NO COUNTRY FOR 

OLD MEN but with a cute alien.

22) 

BEST SCREENPLAY OF 2010
EVERYONE ELSE by Maren Ade.

23) MOVIE YOU FEEL MOST 

EVANGELISTIC ABOUT RIGHT NOW
The Ross brothers' documentary "45365"!!

24) WORST / FUNNIEST 

MOVIE ACCENT EVER
Keanu Reeves' British accent in DRACULA ('92)

movie is sort of a masterwork though even with 

that hilarious misstep.

25) 

BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY OF 2010
TRUE GRIT.. 

Deakins is a genius.

26) OLIVIA WILDE 

OR GEMMA ARTERTON?
I love both of these radiant women. Both extremely 

talented with otherworldly beauty.. If forced to pick, 

I supposed I'd go with Gemma. But I'm not sure 

of myself.

27) 3 BEST OLD MOVIES YOU 

SAW FOR THE FIRST TIME 

IN 2010
THE NEON BIBLE (1995)

STARDUST MEMORIES (1980)

and IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS ('95)

28) BEST ROMANTIC 

MOVIE COUPLE OF 2010
Chris & Gitti in EVERYONE ELSE.

29) 

FAVORITE SHOCK 

   / SURPRISE ENDING
I'm torn between the ending of Philip Kaufman's 

INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS (1978) 

and the original PLANET OF THE APES (1968)

.. those reveals are both still incredibly 

effective to me.

30) 

BEST CINEMATIC REASON 

TO HAVE STAYED HOME 

AND READ A BOOK IN 2010
off the top of my head; M. Night Shyamalan's 

inept adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender 

series.. Maddening & head scratching.

Great director paired with great source material. WTF happened?!

31) MOVIES IN 2011 COULD MAKE 

ME MUCH HAPPIER 

IF THEY'D ONLY...
Cast Ben Mendelsohn in everything.
