I could have done better with the questions, but sometimes you get Citizen Kane - sometimes you get Basic Instinct 2. On with the results!
1. Name a movie that starred Tom Cruise.
Top Gun - 26
Mission Impossible - 2
Jerry McGuire - 2
Losin It - 1
Bad question. I knew that Top Gun would probably get a bunch of votes, but jeez! This was a runaway.
2. Name your favorite animated movie of all time.
Shrek - 8
Toy Story - 7
The Incredibles - 5
The Lion King - 2
The Secret of Nimh - 1
Transformers: The Movie - 1
Bambi - 1
Pinoccio - 1
The Hobbit - 1
South Park - 1
The Dark Crystal - 1
Osmosis Jones - 1
A nice spread of answers here, but if you didn't pick a computer animated movie you were SOL. A couple of interesting responses. Dark Crystal? Was that even animated? And what the hell is Osmosis Jones? It's a bad sign in IWS to get a response that you've never even heard of before.
3. Name a great movie villain.
Darth Vader - 20
Hannibal Lecter - 3
The Joker - 3
Lex Luther - 2
Nomolos - 1
Kurgan - 1
The Terminator - 1
Another runaway. I really thought this would be a 2 horse race between Vader and Lecter. I guess I didn't judge my audience well enough to know that Vader would be such an overwhelming choice. Who the hell are Kurgan and Nomolos?
4. Name a movie with a great soundtrack.
Star Wars - 6
Pulp Fiction - 3
Saturday Night Fever - 3
The Crow - 2
Top Gun - 2
Tron - 1
Dirty Dancing - 1
The Sound of Music - 1
The Lost Boys - 1
The Bodyguard - 1
American Pie - 1
The Big Chill - 1
The Breakfast Club - 1
Footloose - 1
Garden State - 1
Forrest Gump - 1
The Matrix - 1
A Hard Day's Night - 1
Lord of the Rings - 1
This was all over the map with Star Wars winning in large part due to the "Vader" question preceding it. A couple of interesting responses: The Bodyguard, The Sound of Music, Dirty Dancing. Hehe. Not that I'm judging anyone here!
5. Name a movie filmed in black and white.
Casablanca - 13
Clerks - 4
Schindler's List - 3
Citizen Kane - 3
It's a Wonderful Life - 2
Scotch - 1
Sin City - 1
Gone with the Wind - 1
Raging Bull - 1
The Wizard of Oz - 1
Nice to see my favorite movie of all time get some love. Casablanca takes the category - pretty easily.
6. Name a movie that starred members of the Rat Pack, Brat Pack, or Frat Pack.
Breakfast Club - 18
Ocean's 11 - 4
St. Elmo's Fire - 3
Old School - 2
Movin in with Nancy - 1
Sixteen Candles - 1
Manchurian Candidate - 1
Pretty in Pink - 1
I liked this question and figured there was a clear winner for each of the 3 groups. Rat Pack - Ocean's 11, Brat Pack - Breakfast Club, and Frat Pack - Old School. I really expected it to come down to Old School and Breakfast Club, but I guess we're all such children of the 80s that Breakfast Club was too big an influence to ignore.
And now, for the standings (drum-roll please)...
