Steve:: What's your favorite movie of all time?

Michelle: That's a good question? I don't know. Maybe "Forrrest Gump"(《阿甘正传》).

Steve: Why "Forrest Gump"?

Michelle: Because I love Tom Hanks, and I thought it had a lot of clever tie-ins(联系,关联); it was like a photo album of the country during the last 30 years..

Steve: That was a good show. Okay. Here's a little bit of movie trivia(小问题) for you: What movie is the top-grossing (票房收入最高的;毛利最高的)film of all time?

Michelle: Oh, that's easy. "Jurassic Park(〈侏罗纪公园〉)". It's the only film that has grossed over a billion dollars in history.

Steve: That's true. but when a film's gross is adjusted for inflation, the highest-grossing film is "Gone With the Wind". Okay, what director has 7 of the top 40 highest-grossing films of all time?

Michelle: A piece of cake. Steven Spielberg. Give me something that's challenging.

Steve: Okay. Who said "Go ahead, make my day!"?

Michelle: Clint Eastwood.

Steve: All right. What was Dustin Hoffman's debut movie(第一部电影)?

Michelle: "The Graduate".

Michelle: I don't know. 1970?

Steve: Wrong. 1968.

Michelle: Okay. Give me another question.

Steve: Okay. What actress has the most nominations for an Academy Award?

Michelle: I have no idea.

Steve: Katharine Hepburn. She was nominated 12 times and won 3 times.

Michelle: Okay, My turn. First of all. What's your favorite scary (恐怖的)movie?

Steve: It's gotta be "Psycho"(《精神变态者》). I love that shower scene.

Michelle: I hate the choppy (不连贯的)music that they play during that scene.

Steve: That's what makes it so memorable.

Michelle: Okay. Who directed "Tootsie"(《宝贝儿》?

Steve: Easy. Sidney Pollack. Incidentally, he also acted in it as well.

Michelle: all right. What was the most popular Robert Redford and Paul Newman film?

Michelle: You're pretty good. Try this one. What's the top-grossing animated cartoon of all time?

Steve: I know it's a Disney. Is it "Bambi"〈小鹿班比〉?

Michelle: Not quite. It was "Snow and the Seven Dwarfs". Here's your last question; What year was the first in-flight movie (空中电影;在飞机上放映的电影〉?

Steve: 1955?

Michelle: Wrong. 1926. The movie "The Lost World" was shown on Imperial Airways from London to Paris on April 16, 1926.

Steve: The first in-flight movie was 70 years ago? That blows me away.(这真使我感到惊讶万分。) I guess I'm not such a great movie buff after all.

Michelle: That's okay. I still love you.
