Stump the LAMBs Movie Trivia Quiz Answer: Saved!

Saved!Image via Wikipedia

Two LAMBs answered the question correctly for the last quiz, and another submitted the name of a different film that also qualified. That's the danger of making quizzes vague so they're hard to answer; it leaves room for multiple correct answers!

Here's the last question again:

Name the movie with a plot that turns on one of the character's interaction with a pool ladder.

The answer:

Saved!

This is one of my favorite teen movies. High schooler Mary (played by Jenna Malone) plays an underwater game in her pool with boyfriend Dean (played by Chad Faust), during which they tell each other secrets. When Dean reveals that he thinks he's gay, Mary gets so confused that she swims into the pool ladder and bonks her head. This sets off a chain of events that neither could have ever expected.

Here are the LAMBs who knew the answer:

Alex Kittle of Film Forager

SamuraiFrog of Electronic Cerebrectomy

Phil Concannon of Phil on Film guessed that the movie was Catherine Breillat's À ma soeur!. Although I didn't see the movie, the Roger Ebert review of À ma soeur! refers to a character in a pool who "imagines a romantic rivalry for her affections between--a pier and a ladder." That's not exactly the type of interaction I had in mind when I posed the question but it was still a good guess. So Phil gets a link. (We're pretty easy around here.)

Here's the next question:

Name the movie that features a scene with an elevator full of people, but when the elevator door opens and the camera points at the mirror that directly faces the door, there's no one in the reflection.

To qualify, your answer must include the following:

1. The movie name
2. Your name
3. Your blog name
4. Your blog URL
