Last week's Movie Quiz winners

"The quiz movie is Oliver Stone's The Hand-- but why??" "That's Stone himself [in pic clue #1] as 'Bum,' a role he continues to enact for many of us." "I just finished reading Michael Caine's autobiography and he mentioned the experience of making this film as one of his low points." "Saw it when I was a teenager. I think this was the moment that I realized, 'Oh, so good actors can make crappy movies, too!'"

Yes, there was no quiz winner love lost on Stone's second directorial effort. There was none at the box office in 1981, either-- it kept him from making another film for five years. (Too bad he didn't do it before Natural Born Killers.) Still, give it some credit: it was better than his first movie, Seizure, starring Jonathan "Barnabas" Frid.
