The BBHQ Boomer Movie Quiz

Can you identify a movie title, if given just a single, memorable line? Let's find out.

The Rules:

Our quiz includes memorable lines from U.S. movies released in the late 50s, 60s, 70s and very early 80s. We're looking for the movie title, not the actor or character name.

As best we can tell, you are not a member at BBHQ. So we can show you only part of our Movie Quiz. BBHQ Basic members have fill access to all of our quizzes. Annual Basic membership is only $9. Click here to join.


Answer as many questions as you can; use the TAB key or mouse to move from one question to another. We'll grade you, one question at a time. If you get it wrong, we'll give you the right answer. You cannot find the answer without taking a stab at it.

When you're done, we'll add up your score and see how you compare to others.

Spacing and capitalization do not matter; spelling does.

Many questions offer a hint; a few offer more than one hint. But if you take the hint; you only get half-credit if you get it right; you lose half a point if you get it wrong.

OK... let's go to the movies:

1. 1974: "Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer."

2. 1967: "Ben, I just want to say one word to you - just one word..."

That's all we can show you. BBHQ members have full access to all 40 questions. Annual Basic membership is only $9. Click here for information about BBHQ Member Services.

BBHQ Boomer-in-Charge Hershel Chicowitz always has something to say, offering a boomer perspective on current events:

In This Week with the Chicowitz, Hershel tells us more about things to come:

State and local governments will have to struggle to keep their employees paid. With the heightened awareness of the debt and high rate of taxes, these governments may not be able to increase taxes. And that means that you will have fewer services and will be assessed fees for things you never imagined.

The BBHQ Feature Album is "Old Friends Live on Stage (Deluxe Edition) (2 CD/1 DVD)," by Simon & Garfunkel. If you were fortunate enough to see them in concert in 2003, I do not have to sell you. The concert was terrific! This album collection includes 55 songs, plus their new recording, "Citizen of the Planet," and one of the songs sung by the Everly Brothers during the concert. The DVD was recorded during their concert in Madison Square Garden in 2003. For any S&G fan, this is a must have! But then, you knew that already, didn't you?  Old Friends Live on Stage (Deluxe Edition) (2 CD/1 DVD)

The BBHQ Feature Book is "The 5000 Year Leap," by W. Cleon Skousen. The title does not adequately identify the content, though the concept of the 5,000 year leap is astounding. The subtitle, Principles of Freedom 101, is much more applicable to the subject. This book carefully and clearly summarizes the thinking of the brilliant founding fathers of our country, the ideas behind the "miracle that changed the world."
