    Got a new book with 2500 questions about Hollywood. Thought it would be fun to see how much we don't know. The first question is

    Which of the following is not a film starring Bill Cosby and directed by Sidney Poiter?
    a....Ghost Dad
    b....A Piece of the Action
    c....Hickey & Boggs
    d....Uptown Saturday Night
    Thomas
    listen to more classical music!
  2. I have a vague recollection that both Ghost Dad and Hickey & Boggs starred Bill Cosby so I'll go with Uptown Saturday Night.

    This is exactly the way it should be done. The only thing you'll get out of this is a gold star!!!!

    There are some really cool questions in this book which I got for $5.00. And the first question I got wrong.

    I'll have to guess on this one Tom, I can discount Chariots of Fire and will guess at Cavalcade.

    I guess I'm not obsessed with Hollywood, as I have no idea what the answer is. I haven't even heard of the first three movies. But might as well take a guess:

    A

    Zola is a must see and is available at most libraries. An interesting score also.

    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.
  16. I notice that no one is waiting for my suggestion after my success with the first question! rolleyes wink

    I only recognise Chariots of Fire - and I'll go with Tim's recommendation and discount it from the choices.

    And I'll go with Peter: A - The Great Ziegfield

    Well, I think we all know Vangelis won an Oscar for the score so it's a no-brainer counting out Chariots of Fire.

    Best Picture that didn't win an Oscar for directing or acting.

    Chariots of Fire fits that description. Warren Betty won for best director (Reds) and Ian Holm was the only actor up for a nomination (lost to an actor from Arthur... what's his name?) Sorry... I know a lot about this awards year because it's the year Raiders was screwed out of everything!

  20. Didn't David-what's-his-name not win a direction award for Chariots of Fire? All the coverage he had at the time made me think that he had!

    WARREN BETTY won for Reds! Hugh Hudson was the director of Chariots of Fire. David what's his name was the producer who won the Oscar for best picture.

    I would have got Chariots of Fire correctly if I had paid close attention to the question shame
