Book Reviews of What's That From?: The Ultimate Quiz Book Of Memorable Movie Lines Since 1969
Book Review: Excellent trivia book!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very well written trivia book. It includes questions from a wide range of movies and actors. The author did a great job of breaking quotes into categories by level of difficulty. He also made the book more interesting by adding real trivia questions, as opposed to just quotes. My only critique of this book was that he seemed to favor some movies quite a bit, and asked multiple questions from them (Ghostbusters 1&2, City Slickers 1&2, Working Girl, Fletch). And I would also say that it is time to publish a new book, Jai...the questions only cover movies from the late 90's and earlier. This is well done, and a solid follow-up book is overdue!
Summary of What's That From?: The Ultimate Quiz Book Of Memorable Movie Lines Since 1969
Do you know what films have given us the following quotes?"What we have here is a failure to communicate."
"Excuse me while I whip this out."
"Would somebody get this walking carpet out of my way?"
"I don't know why they call this stuff Hamburger Helper, it does just fine by itself."
And how are you at movie trivia?
In The Blues Brothers why are Jake and Elwood "puttin' the band back together"? In Airplane!, which dinner was poisioned: the fish or the chicken? True or False: Diane Keaton won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in Annie Hall.
For the movie buff and video hound, What's that From? provides hours of entertainment. You can test your knowledge with more than 1,000 quotes and questions from more than 250 contemporary films--from Academy Award winners to cult classics. Also included are bonus questions on actors and directors, special categories on individual actors, movies, and themes (Wester, baseball, sequels), plus a section devoted exclusively to Academy Award-winning performances.
It's all here in the ultimate tribute to the great movies of the seventies, eighties, and nineties from National Lampoon's Animal House to When Harry Met Sally... So the next time you hear someone say, "It's just a flesh wound, " you won't have to ask "What's that from?"
