Movie Trivia Thread

I thought I would make one of these since I have them elsewhere and It hought it would be fun here.

Ask any question that has to do with an actor, actress or Movie. It can be anything from a scene of a movie, a famous quote, something juicy that happened in actor/ actress life, anything. Who answers the question right will have to put there own question up.

The only rule is, is that you may not look any of these answers up.

From what Movie does this phrase come from: " I am having an old friend for dinner"

Silence of the Lambs?

What movie(there may be more than one, but I can only think of one that is well known, received critical acclaim, won awards) is told, unequivocally, from the point of view of the villain of the story(not bad guy who becomes good, or split personality, just straight forward, the villain of the story from start to end)?

I think that new one with Casey Affleck is like that. Supposed to be pretty disturbing -- "The Killer Inside Me" I believe.

Otherwise, I would have to guess... Night of the Hunter? I guess American Psycho is not it due to the ***SPOILERS FOR A 10 YEAR OLD MOVIE AND 25 YEAR OLD BOOK******* likelihood he may not have really killed anyone?

I often use the line "I have to return some video tapes" when I need to get off the phone.

[Deslok]

Well, I'm thinking of one that won an Academy Award(as in, a major one, not one of the ones that doesn't even make the TV broadcast), and I've never actually seen Night of the Hunter, so am unsure of how the story is told(I know the basic outline of the movie though).

[NashvilleDevil]

I'm assuming this is not a gangster movie? Since I think Scarface, the Godfathers, Goodfellas etc are all told from the villains perspective.

Was just thinking - Doesn't "The Usual Suspects" fit this category as well? Won two oscars, told from Spacey's POV, and it isn't until the end you realize he's the bad guy.

Nah. The frame story is told from the POV of the detective.

Correct.

I dunno, but 'yak' is an excellent Hangman answer.

Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins.

The adventure also ended because the movie, which was supposed to launch a franchise, was so laughably bad that no sequel could be made. Mystical martial arts master Joel Gray spoke that line as he was training Remo in a scene that was probably supposed to be something from The Karate Kid.

As an aside, I would submit that Deslok's question SUCKED as at least Clockwork Orange as well as Amadeus fit the answer -- and probably many others too.

So, I am submitting my own question...

A Clockwork Orange definitely does not fit the question. Alex is most certainly not the villain of the story. He's a loathsome creature, but it is those who would take away his free will to act(often in horrible ways) who in fact, are the villains of the film.

You have a point about the assault on Alex's free will as a major point of the story and, pehaps, that is the villian.

But Alex, who the story is about, is most certainly also a villian. He beats people for no good reason and commits rape. I am trying to remember if he actually kills anyone. He is truly a monster, as you put it. He certainly does far more evil and villanous things than Salieri, who really just dislikes Mozart because Mozart is so talented. What villanous acts, other than jealousy, does Salieri commit? I guess he tries to steal Mozart's final symphony, but that is about it.

So, we have rape, assault, and numerous other crimes against society on one hand and a really jealous guy who tries, and fails, to steal a symphony on the other hand.

I again submit that your question was ambiguous enough so that numerous answers could fit and my answer does fit.

Alright, sense Duvall has asked one in a while, I will ask one:

In what movie does Angelina Jolie kill a guy named Richard after he tried to kill Denzel Wahington and solve who the blank is?
