The cast includes George Raft and Edward G. Robinson Jr., and the script is by Wilder and frequent collaborator I.A.L. Diamond. The final line, delivered by Joe E. Brown, as a millionaire who wants to marry Jack Lemmon's character, when Lemmon says he is a man, is one of the most famous in the movies: "Nobody's perfect".

"Taken", a French-made movie directed by Pierre Morel, and written and produced by Luc Besson, is a depiction of American parents' worst nightmare. An over- protective father, Bryan Mills, allows his teenage daughter to go to Europe with a friend against his better judgement.

She is a U2 fan who is planning to follow them round Europe. The daughter, played by Maggie Grace, is kidnapped more or less as soon as she sets foot in France. She manages to phone her father - who is a former CIA operative - and he warns the kidnapper: "If you are looking for ransom I can tell you I don't have money, but what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you, but if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you and I will kill you." The rest of the movie shows that coming to pass, as Mills runs rampage through Europe.

It stars Mike Myers as the title character, a solitary and grouchy ogre who is impacted by Lord Farquaad (John Lithgow) clearing fairy tale characters away from his land so they end up in Shrek's swamp. Shrek and Donkey, a lonely and annoying donkey played by Eddie Murphy are tricked into rescuing a princess called Fiona (Cameron Diaz) by Farquaad.

Answer: Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

"Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" is a 1969 Western directed by George Roy Hill, with a screenplay by William Goldman. It features a fictionalised story about some real life outlaws of the American West - Butch Cassidy is played by Paul Newman, while Robert Redford plays the Sundance Kid.

They lead the Hole in the Wall gang, whose base is near the pass of that name in Wyoming. Their companion, a schoolteacher called Etta Place, is played by Katharine Ross. Goldman originated the project, and he won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay.

The script is full of zinging lines, that Redford and Newman deliver with aplomb, such as "I don't want to sound like a sore loser, but when it's over, if I'm dead, kill him." The outlaws are hounded out of Wyoming by a super posse, and move to Bolivia, where they are ultimately gunned down.

Answer: The Lego Movie

"The Lego Movie" (2014) is an animated movie and sort of extended advert for Lego, the popular Danish toy. It's actually a lot better than that sounds, with a sharp script and direction by Phil Lord and Christoper Miller. It has a surprisingly pointed message about big business.

The evil Lord Business (Will Ferrell) is thwarted in his plans by Everyman figure Emmet Brickowski (Chris Pratt), aided by "Master Builders" such as Wyldstyle (Elizabeth Banks) and Batman (Will Arnett). The events turn out to be being acted out by a boy called Finn (Jadon Sand), whose father (also Will Ferrell) has some bridges to build with him.

The song "Everything is Awesome" by Shawn Patterson, JoLi, and The Lonely Island, was nominated for an Academy Award.

Answer: The Wizard of Oz

The 1939 classic movie "The Wizard of Oz", directed by Victor Fleming, is based on the book "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" by L. Frank Baum. It concerns a Kansas girl, Dorothy Gale (played by Judy Garland), whose house gets blown by a tornado to a magical land called Oz.

Her house kills The Wicked Witch of the East, and Dorothy gets given her magic ruby slippers by Glinda, the Good Witch of the North (Billie Burke). The Wicked Witch of the West (Margaret Hamilton) vows revenge. Dorothy travels to meet the Wizard of Oz to try to get home, meeting a Scarecrow, Tin Man and Lion, all deficient in some way, who join with her to get help from the Wizard.

The showdown with the Wicked Witch involves a bucket of water which dissolves her.
