Movie Trivia

Theme: Amnesia

2008-07-18T21:11:53Z

Trivia
Can you identify the movie this image is from?

Bonus round!!
Who had amnesia?

Good luck today!

This week's theme is Amnesia. A popular plot device used in movies can be amnesia. The most commonly used is temporary amnesia, wherein the character will regain their memory by the finale. From a story telling perspective, it can be interesting to see how someone's life can be changed when they temporarily live off of a blank slate.

What benefits would be appropriate to those who enjoy participating weekly for as long as this? See the new Player Rewards section for info.

If you have yet to do so, start thinking about a theme and email movietriviagame@gmail.com. I can even help complete partial themes.

More people enjoying this is what makes it fun for me. If there are people you know that aren't yet playing this game, tell them to join in with us at movie_trivia. ^_^

Quotes that I enjoyed:
-"Hmmm, how about "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For"" I think that was sung by U2.
-"Woo! "Pleasantville"! Nice choice for scene, by the way. Who knew trees burst into flame when mom uh... well... uh, nevermind." I knew that anyone who actually saw the movie could appreciate the scene.
-"I just watched that on DVD! Ha!" I love it when those kind of coincidences happen.
-"Oh man, there was pretty much ONE reason for heterosexual males to see this movie... ok, something like 5 reasons, but they were all in the same category."

Trivia
Can you identify the movie this image is from?

Bonus round!!
What was the name of the Elvis song?

Good luck today!

This week's theme is Elvis. Music and movies are highly intertwined. The best movie can be made better or worse, depending on the music used. It's always there to fill in the dead space between dialog. Many times, the music is by a featured and well known artist. The song may exist because of the movie, or the movie may exist because of the song. There are many well known artists that could be used for this type of theme, but I felt it should start off with the king of rock and roll. This week is for Elvis. All movies used will have used one song sung by Elvis Presley.

Quotes that I enjoyed:
-"This one I know. That's from 1983's "WarGames", quite the awesome movie. Got shown it several times in grade school, though for what educational purpose I'll never know."
-"Woo! Comic book heroes!"
-"The Matrix...The Matrix (whoa deja vu)"
-"As far as the name of the computer goes... uh... isn't it the Matrix? That seems to be the vastly over-arching computer throughout the series."
-"So I'm totally lost on the first one, but I'm thinking the second one might be from "Sleeper", in which case the computer is the orgasmotron." Well that answer was wrong, but it also means I missed out on the chance to have a bonus in which people would have to write "orgasmotron".
