To enlarge the montages, click on them.  Below the montages are the point values for each photo (40 pts total). Along with thevalues for each photo, there are 3 bonus questions as well totaling 10 pts. 

Also, if you can correctly identify the lowest ranked song among these 15, you can earn 5 bonus pts.  Please note this doesn't necessarily mean the song in question is ranked #100. It just means it's the lowest ranked of these 15 songs on the list. 

 
If you are a Friday Funday Trivia virgin about to be touched for the very first time, please read the following rules before playing:

* The game is pub style so looking up the answers, using friends/family/co-workers, etc. for help,  is not allowed.

Friday Funday Trivia: 1980s #1 Songs From the Movies

 

For this week's FFT, I've included 3 montages containing 15 photos/scenes from 1980s movies, all of which included a song which reached the #1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 during the 1980s.  You have to correctly identify the #1 song. Just the song title will suffice; you do not have to provide the name of the recording artist. Although it's not a foolproof strategy, just give the name of the movie if you're not sure of the song title. You never know, the movie and the song title could be one in the same. 

To enlarge the montages, click on them.  Below the montages are the point values for each photo (40 pts total). Please note that there are no bonus questions this week.

Friday Funday Trivia: 80s Hollywood

 

Below are 3 montages containing 15 photos of actors/actresses who graced the big screen during the 80s. You have to correctly identify the performer. If you are unable to come up with the performer's name, you can still earn half credit if you can at least identify one of their famous roles. For example, if I posted a photo of John Cusack and you couldn't recall his name, something along the lines of the following would be acceptable:

That's the dude who held the boombox over his head in Say Anything
To enlarge the montages, click on them.  Below the montages are the point values for each photo (40 pts total). Along with the values for each photo, there are 3 bonus questions as well totaling 10 pts.

 
If you are a Friday Funday Trivia virgin about to be touched for the very first time, please read the following rules before playing:

* The game is pub style so looking up the answers, using friends/family/co-workers, etc. for help,  is not allowed.

* If you are the only player to correctly identify a photo/photo set, you earn 5 bonus points. The first player to submit their final answers to me will earn 2 bonus points.

* Please do not post your answers in the comments section. Instead, send them to ultfan@gmail.com no later than Sunday night (4/7) at 11:59 PM EST. The answers will be posted on Monday, April 8th.

Not an official rule: If you have no clue, feel free to come up with an intentionally funny answer. Although you won't get credit for a correct answer, you'll get a thumbs up from me for originality, execution, and showmanship. What can I say, I love to be entertained and I'll take it any way I can get it!

Have fun and good luck.
