TRIVIA: Cats in the Movies

My wife and I used to play trivia three nights a week, but we've had to narrow that down to once a week, as house construction is taking up all of our time. At one of the places we used to play (but don't anymore), they asked for Guest Rounds, and Grancey and I created a ton of them. Now, we're just sitting on piles of Guest Round trivia questions, and they'll probably never get used.

One of my favorite rounds was an all-music round I created, where I would play portions of 5 different songs, and you had to name the artist and song title. The catch, though, was that ALL of the songs were by either Phil Collins or Genesis, and you had to be specific to get the points. I also created Beatles rounds (duh), a round based on people born on my birthday, a Brady Bunch round, and many, many others.

So try this one - it's called Cats in the Movies. We grade them by increasing difficulty - the first question is 10 points, the second question 20 points, etc., all the way up to 60 points for the sixth question. The most you can score is 220 points (210 for each main question and a 10-point bonus along with the first question). What can you score?

CATS IN THE MOVIES

1) In a 1961 movie, a woman named Holly throws a cat named Cat out of a taxi in New York City. Name the movie. BONUS (10 points): Name the actress that plays Holly.

2) In a 2000 movie, a Himalayan cat named Mr. Jinx lives with a family who is sitting around a dinner table and listening to a man named Gaylord explain how he can milk anything with nipples, including a cat. Name the movie.

3) In a 1999 movie, a black cat walks past a landing. Then, another black cat immediately walks by. It was either the same cat, a different cat, or it could have been déjà vu. Name the movie.

4) In a 1979 movie, a cat named Jonesy has a very bad experience aboard a spaceship. Name the movie.

5) In a 2001 movie, a tabby cat named Mrs. Norris suddenly turns into a teacher, and someone says it’s “bloody brilliant!” Name the movie (and be specific).

6) In seven different official James Bond movies, a white Persian cat without a name is owned by an iconic villain named Blofeld. Name the 1963 Bond movie that marks the cat's first appearance.

  2. And as a side note, as I typed the answer out I was watching 'Enter the Dragon.' Just as soon as I finished my answers, the evil dude was putting a cat in the cradle of a guillotine.

  3. If Cubby's answers are correct, I got #1, 2, and 5. How I got #1 I'll never know as I've never seen the movie and wasn't sure why it came to mind. More blogs like this, please! I love trivia. :)

  4. Yes, Cubby gets all 220 points, even though he cheated.

    Cheeshy gets either 80 or 90 points, depending on whether or not she got the bonus for #1. And I can definitely accomodate your request, cheeshy!

  5. How do you know Cheeshy didn't look at my answers and then not write them down but just say she knew the answers?

    I'm a cheater and I proudly stated so.
