Question 1 of 10
1. (1991) Julia starred with Kevin Anderson in this tale of a young woman making intricate plans to escape her controlling, abusive husband. She knows he will never let her go alive, so she stages her death and starts a wonderful new life without him...until he finds out that she's still alive. Hint


Question 2 of 10
2. (1983) A young Kevin Anderson and a young Tom Cruise are together in this better than average teen coming-of-age movie. While his parents leave him alone for a week, Cruise comes up with a rather unusual way of making money to pay for the damages he's caused to his father's Porsche. Hint


Question 3 of 10
3. (1988) Charlie Babbitt (Cruise) is disturbed to learn that his father has left pretty much everything to Raymond (played by Dustin Hoffman), an autistic-savant brother who he never even knew that he had. In desperate need of a little cash, Cruise kidnaps his brother, intending to hold him hostage for his share of the estate. But somewhere along their cross-country odyssey he finds that he really does love him.

Answer: (Two Words)
Question 4 of 10
4. (2003) Dustin Hoffman and John Cusack star in this suspenseful film, based on a John Grisham novel, about a juror and his girlfriend who successfully manipulate a jury in a high profile trial involving a gun manufacturer. Hint


Question 5 of 10
5. (2001) John Cusack and Catherine Zeta-Jones were once the perfect couple, both on and off screen, but not anymore. Billy Crystal is the publicist who has called them together for a press junket to advertise their last film. And to further complicate matters, the director of the film hasn't yet let anyone see the completed version. Hint


Question 6 of 10
6. (2003) Catherine Zeta-Jones has her heart set on marrying and divorcing a rich husband, and living comfortably forever after on her alimony payments. George Clooney is the slick divorce lawyer who thwarted her plans. So she devises the perfect plan of getting rich off of Clooney's money, exacting her revenge at the same time. She never expected to actually fall in love with him. Hint


Question 7 of 10
7. (2000) George Clooney played Billy Tyne, captain of the ill-fated sword fishing boat the 'Andrea Gail' in this powerful film. John C. Reilly played one of the crew who lost their lives in a fluke storm caused by the serendipitous meeting of several different weather systems. Hint


Question 8 of 10
8. (2003) John C. Reilly and Jack Nicholson starred in this movie about a passive young man who, through a series of unfortunate misunderstandings, finds himself forced to accept treatment for anger that he doesn't even know he feels. What he can't understand is why he's been labeled as being at risk, when his therapist seems to have a lot more issues on the subject than he has. Hint


Question 9 of 10
9. (1983) Jack Nicholson and Shirley MacLaine star in this tearjerker about the very difficult relationship between a young woman and her very demanding mother. The fact that she really does love her daughter becomes very clear when the daughter becomes terminally ill with cancer. Nicholson plays the new next door neighbour, an aging astronaut who becomes the mother's love interest. Hint


Question 10 of 10
10. (1989) Shirley MacLaine starred with Julia Roberts in this tearjerker about a group of Southern women who congregate regularly at Truvy's Beauty Parlor to draw strength from their circle of friends. Roberts plays the physically fragile Shelby, whose wedding everyone is celebrating at the beginning of the movie, and whose death everyone is mourning at the end. Hint

Answer: Sleeping With the Enemy
