80s & 90s Movie Trivia Challenge (3)

[A] Genghis Khan | Wayne’s miscast turn in The Conqueror is infamous; Sharif later played the Mongol conqueror in a 1965 epic.

[A] Apollo 13 | Paxton plays astronaut Fred Haise. He also pops up in True Lies and Titanic, making him a Cameron favorite.

[C] Tom Cruise | Batman’s been Keaton, Kilmer, Clooney, Bale, Affleck, and Pattinson. Cruise chased spies and jets, not Gotham vigilantes.

[B] License to Drive | It’s a Corey Haim teen comedy. Bond’s similar entry is License to Kill, 1989, with Timothy Dalton.

[B] Home Alone | Kevin’s solo holiday traps gave Fox a phenomenon. The tagline sells the premise in seven words.

[A] Jaws | Roy Scheider’s Brody says it after seeing the shark. Spielberg’s cutaways made viewers imagine worse than the rubber “Bruce” could show.

[D] Magnum Force | Callahan’s sequel pits him against vigilante cops on motorcycles. The series reached five films by 1988.

[B] Die Hard | McClane turns a Christmas party into a one‑cop siege. The franchise defined the “everyman action hero.”

[C] The Black Cauldron | A darker 1985 Disney entry, loosely from The Chronicles of Prydain. Its tone and tech nudged the studio forward.

[B] Doubt | Hitchcock made Suspicion, Notorious, and Frenzy. Doubt is John Patrick Shanley’s 2008 drama with Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman.

[B] Goodfellas | Henry Hill narrates that line after witness protection. Scorsese’s final freeze‑frame lands with bitter resignation.

[D] Snakes on a Plane | Jackson survives the serpents; he’s not so lucky with velociraptors or super‑sharks in other roles.

[A] Fight the Power | Spike Lee asked Public Enemy for an anthem. The track blasts through Bed‑Stuy, stoking debates and one crucial conflict.

[C] Cardio | Rule #1: outrun and outlast. “Double Tap” is #2, though it’s the one everyone quotes thanks to the trailer.

[C] Will Turner | Blacksmith‑turned‑pirate Will chases cursed gold and a lost father. Bloom’s earnest foil balances Depp’s chaos.
