Answer key – Movies & Cinema (Set 1)

  1. A. Slumdog Millionaire – 'Jai Ho' from Slumdog Millionaire (2008), composed by A. R. Rahman with lyrics by Gulzar, won the Oscar for Best Original Song. Slumdog Millionaire is a British film set in Mumbai, directed by Danny Boyle. It won eight Oscars, including Best Picture.
  2. B. Hans Zimmer and Elton John – Hans Zimmer composed The Lion King's score, which won an Oscar, while Elton John wrote the songs with lyricist Tim Rice, including 'Circle of Life' and 'Can You Feel the Love Tonight', which won Best Original Song. Lebo M added the famous African chants.
  3. D. Us – Us (2019), Jordan Peele's second film, follows a family attacked by their terrifying doubles, called 'the Tethered', who live underground. Lupita Nyong'o played both the mother, Adelaide, and her double, Red, using a chilling raspy voice.
  4. C. Stanley Kubrick – Stanley Kubrick directed 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), co-written with science fiction author Arthur C. Clarke. It features HAL 9000, a calm but deadly computer. Kubrick's only Oscar was for the film's groundbreaking special effects.
  5. B. Winifred, Sarah, and Mary – The three Sanderson sisters in Hocus Pocus are Winifred (Bette Midler), Sarah (Sarah Jessica Parker) and Mary (Kathy Najimy). Winifred is the bossy leader with a spellbook, Mary has a powerful sense of smell, and Sarah lures children with her singing.
  6. B. Scarface – 'Say hello to my little friend!' is shouted by Tony Montana (Al Pacino) in the violent final shootout of Scarface (1983), as he fires a grenade launcher. The film has been especially influential in hip-hop culture.
  7. B. Chadwick Boseman – Chadwick Boseman played T'Challa, the Black Panther, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, starting in Captain America: Civil War (2016). Boseman died of cancer in 2020, aged 43, having kept his illness private while filming. The sequel Wakanda Forever honoured him.
  8. B. Steven Spielberg – Steven Spielberg directed Schindler's List (1993), the true story of Oskar Schindler, who saved about 1,100 Jews during the Holocaust. Shot mostly in black and white, it won seven Oscars, including Best Picture and Spielberg's first Best Director award.
  9. B. Lilo & Stitch – 'Ohana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten' is from Lilo & Stitch (2002), set in Hawaii. 'Ohana' is the Hawaiian word for family. A live-action remake released in 2025 became one of the year's biggest hits.
  10. A. Emma Watson – Emma Watson played Hermione Granger in all eight Harry Potter films, starting at age nine. She later became a UN Women Goodwill Ambassador and launched the HeForShe campaign. Hermione is known for being the brightest student of her year at Hogwarts.
  11. D. None – In Encanto (2021), Mirabel is the only member of the Madrigal family in her generation without a magical gift. Ironically, she ends up saving the family and their magical house, Casita. The song 'We Don't Talk About Bruno' became a global hit.
  12. C. The Terminator – 'I'll be back' is said by the T-800 cyborg (Arnold Schwarzenegger) in The Terminator (1984), directed by James Cameron. Arnold had wanted to say 'I will be back', thinking it sounded more machine-like, but Cameron kept the original. He repeated the line in many later films.
  13. B. Robert Downey Jr. – Robert Downey Jr. played Tony Stark, Iron Man, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe from 2008 to 2019, ending with Avengers: Endgame. His casting was risky, as his career had been damaged by personal problems. In 2024 Marvel announced he will return as the villain Doctor Doom.
  14. C. Mufasa – Mufasa is Simba's father and the king of the Pride Lands in The Lion King. He is killed by his jealous brother Scar during a wildebeest stampede.

  16. B. Count Dracula – Count Dracula, voiced by Adam Sandler, owns the monster resort in Hotel Transylvania (2012), which he built to protect his daughter Mavis from humans. Directed by Genndy Tartakovsky, the film spawned three sequels. Dracula is based on the vampire from Bram Stoker's 1897 novel.
  17. C. Toothless – Toothless is Hiccup's dragon in How to Train Your Dragon. He is a rare Night Fury who cannot fly properly after losing part of his tail, so Hiccup builds him a prosthetic fin. His cat-like behaviour was inspired by the animators' pets.
  18. C. The Martian – The Martian (2015) stars Matt Damon as astronaut Mark Watney, stranded on Mars and forced to grow potatoes to survive. Ridley Scott directed it, based on Andy Weir's self-published novel. NASA praised its relatively accurate science.
  19. C. Batman – Batman is known as the Dark Knight. Bob Kane and Bill Finger created him in 1939 for DC Comics. Christopher Nolan's trilogy, including The Dark Knight (2008), is especially famous. Unlike most superheroes, Batman has no superpowers and relies on intelligence, training and gadgets.
