I like movies.
I used to watch them alot more often when I was younger…but I still like to watch a movie that looks like it’ll be good.
If you like movies too, let’s play a kind of “Movie Trivia Challenge”.
I’ll write a trivial fact in this post about a few movies…if you recognize what movies I’m describing, then write the titles in this post’s comment section.
And also write a trivia question of your own about a movie or movies, and me or anyone else can try to guess the movie.
So, here are my questions:
1. What movie starred Clint Eastwood, Jim Carrey, and had a cameo appearance by members of the rock band “Guns ‘N Roses?
2. What movie starred Jack Nicholson, Danny DeVito and Christopher Lloyd?
3. What was the first movie that Johnny Depp appeared in?
If you had to choose your five favorite movies and five favorite music albums (CDs) of all time…what would they be?
No pondering it for a long time…just off the top of your head write them in the comment section of this post.
As for me, I think I’d choose:
MOVIES
One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest (starring: Jack Nicholson, Danny DeVito, Christopher Lloyd)
Die Hard (starring: Bruce Willis)
Dirty Harry (starring: Clint Eastwood)
