T-Shirt Wars Movie Quiz

It may or may not have escaped your notice, but we quite like movies here at T-Shirt Wars. So as part of our occasional series of blogs commemorating 1000 hits to our blogsite, here is a little movie quiz based on our T-shirt blogs for you to amuse yourself with. There is no prize, just the satisfaction of completing the quiz without resorting to Google.

Day 1, and Pete used his ‘Blue Steel’ look on the inaugural day of T-Shirt Wars. Who starred in the 1990 film of the same name and who are her famous movie star parents?

Day 2 featured an Alcatraz T-shirt. Who played the ‘Birdman of Alcatraz’?

Day 3’s blog title was ‘Zero to Hero’. Which movie had this phrase as its tagline?

On Day 6, Nick wore his Felix the Cat tee. Did the original Felix talk or was he silent?

Day 10 – Pete ended his blog with ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’. Which musical (made into a movie in 1956) was this originally from and who wrote it?

Day 11 – Brian loses with his Batman T-shirt. Name as many Batman films as you can.

Day 12 – Nick quotes a classic movie line in his blog. Easy question – which film is it from. Hard question – What is the name of the character played by a young Harrison Ford, and what is the significance of this?

In Pete’s blog on Day 13, he mentions Judge Dredd. Who directed Judge Dredd the Movie? (Bonus non-movie question: he also quotes Mork from Mork and Mindy. Which TV series was this a spin-off from?)

On Day 15, Brian won with an Erroll Flynn T-shirt. What island did Flynn come from?

‘Carry on Camping’ was a title for a sub-blog before Day 18. How many ‘Carry On’ films were there?

‘Beyond good. Beyond evil. Beyond your wildest imagination.’ Was the tagline for which movie alluded to in Day 19’s blog?

Oompa Loompah was the Guest Blogger on Day 31. Who plays all the Oompa Loompas in the recent remake of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory?

Day 34 – Brian mentions Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid in his blog. What Burt Bacharach song won an Oscar for the movie? There are also quote from two 80's science fiction movies. Which movies? And which Neil Young song did the second quote originally come from?

Day 35 – Flatliners. Which star of Flatliners went on to have an 81 minute conversation in movie with Colin Farrell?

Day 36 – Risky Business brought which grinning midget scientologist to public attention? Why?

Day 37 – The Eagle Has Landed. Who played the only Nazi with a Cockney accent in the film of the same name?

Day 38 – Hex, Lies and Autoclave Tape. An obvious pun, but which prestigious award did the movie pick up?


Answers on a postcard, please… Now get back to work!

OK, I have now gone and looked up the ones I wasn't sure about, but I'm still puzzling over the Tome Cruise one. What was the special thing about it??

It was a rhetorical 'why?', as in 'why should we be interested in Tom Cruise anyway?' No comments from TC fans please, this issue is now closed.
