Answers

  1. C. The Shining – Jack Nicholson plays Jack Torrance, Shelley Duvall is Wendy, and Scatman Crothers is Dick Hallorann in Kubrick’s 1980 adaptation; others feature Nicholson or similar horror themes but lack this trio.
  2. A. Alien – Sigourney Weaver as Ripley, Tom Skerritt as Dallas, and John Hurt as Kane in Ridley Scott’s 1979 film; sequels and similar sci-fi have Weaver but not this exact crew.
  3. B. Jaws – Roy Scheider as Brody, Robert Shaw as Quint, and Richard Dreyfuss as Hooper in Spielberg’s 1975 thriller; others are shark or disaster films without this cast.
  4. A. Psycho – Anthony Perkins as Norman Bates, Janet Leigh as Marion Crane, and Vera Miles as Lila in Hitchcock’s 1960 classic; other Hitchcock works have different leads.
  5. D. The Exorcist – Ellen Burstyn as Chris, Linda Blair as Regan, and Max von Sydow as Merrin in Friedkin’s 1973 film; others are possession tales with different actors.
  6. B. Halloween – Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode and Donald Pleasence as Dr. Loomis, with Nick Castle as the masked Michael Myers in Carpenter’s 1978 original; others are slashers without this lineup.
  7. C. Star Wars – Mark Hamill as Luke, Harrison Ford as Han, and Carrie Fisher as Leia in the 1977 original; sequels have them but this is the first.
  8. B. Jurassic Park – Sam Neill as Grant, Laura Dern as Ellie, and Jeff Goldblum as Malcolm in Spielberg’s 1993 hit; sequels swap some roles.
  9. C. Pulp Fiction – John Travolta as Vincent, Samuel L. Jackson as Jules, and Uma Thurman as Mia in Tarantino’s 1994 nonlinear masterpiece; others are Tarantino films with partial overlaps.
  10. D. The Godfather – Marlon Brando as Vito, Al Pacino as Michael, and James Caan as Sonny in Coppola’s 1972 epic; sequel has Pacino but Brando bows out early.
  11. B. Casablanca – Humphrey Bogart as Rick, Ingrid Bergman as Ilsa, and Claude Rains as Renault in the 1942 romance; others pair Bogart differently.
  12. B. Titanic – Leonardo DiCaprio as Jack, Kate Winslet as Rose, and Billy Zane as Cal in Cameron’s 1997 blockbuster; DiCaprio’s other films lack Winslet/Zane combo.
  13. C. Forrest Gump – Tom Hanks as Forrest, Robin Wright as Jenny, and Gary Sinise as Lt. Dan in Zemeckis’ 1994 Oscar-winner; Hanks’ other roles don’t match.
  14. D. The Matrix – Keanu Reeves as Neo, Laurence Fishburne as Morpheus, and Carrie-Anne Moss as Trinity in the Wachowskis’ 1999 revolution; sequels follow but this is original.
  15. B. Fight Club – Brad Pitt as Tyler, Edward Norton as Narrator, and Helena Bonham Carter as Marla in Fincher’s 1999 satire; Pitt/Norton pair uniquely here.
  16. C. Inception – Leonardo DiCaprio as Cobb, Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Arthur, and Elliot Page (credited as Ellen Page then) as Ariadne in Nolan’s 2010 dream heist; DiCaprio’s Nolan films differ.

  18. D. Scream – Neve Campbell as Sidney, Courteney Cox as Gale, and David Arquette as Dewey in Craven’s 1996 meta-slasher; sequels continue but this launches them.
  19. C. Get Out – Daniel Kaluuya as Chris, Allison Williams as Rose, and Bradley Whitford as Dean in Peele’s 2017 social thriller; his later films have different casts.
  20. C. Avengers: Endgame – Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man, Chris Evans as Captain America, and Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow in the Russo brothers’ 2019 finale; prior Avengers have them but this concludes the saga arcs.
