Answer: Sister Act

"Sister Act" (1992), starred Whoopi Goldberg. Whoopi was born Caryn Elaine Johnson in 1955.
"Sister Act" starts out with Deloris, (Whoopi), as a Las Vegas casino singer who witnesses her boyfriend, (owner of the casino where she sings), murders someone and she runs away. Vince, (the boyfriend), suspects her to be too nervous not to rat him out and tries to have her killed.

Answer: A Home of Our Own

"A Home of our Own" (1993) starred Kathy Bates (born in 1948). Kathy was nominated three times for an Oscar and has won once in 1991 for the film "Misery". This movie is very interesting. It captures you from the start. It does not start out slow or boring and it continues to be interesting with a bit of humor and drama.
3. A '60s family afraid of nuclear war stays underground for 35 years. At the end of this time, they send their son out to see the fate of the world.

Answer: Blast From The Past

"Blast From the Past" (1999) starred Brendan Fraser, Alicia Silverstone, Sissy Spacek and Christopher Walken. This is one of my favorite comedies.
A 1960s family afraid of nuclear war builds a bomb shelter. Suspecting something will happen they lock themselves in for thirty-five years. That same night the woman gives birth to their only child, a son. On the night of his 35th birthday the doors are unlocked they and send him up to renew their supplies and to find a wife.

She assumes the identity for a while but the family soon discovers she is not who they once thought she was.

Answer: Mrs. Winterbourne

"Mrs. Winterbourne" (1996) starred Ricki Lake as Connie mistaken for Patricia Winterbourne. Shirley MacLaine as Grace Winterbourne the mother-in-law of who they believe is Patricia. Brendan Fraser as Hugh and Bill Winterbourne, the twin sons of Grace.

9. Two children, a boy and a girl are stranded on a tropical island. They grow and learn to live on this tropical island. Very naive and childish, will they ever be able to go back home?

Answer: The Blue Lagoon

"The Blue Lagoon" (1980). The version I like, is with Brooke Shields. Brooke plays the older Emmeline. I believe the movie can have two endings, depending on the viewer.
10. A soon to be married woman seemingly happy with the ordinary life, and a lonely widower and his son keep crossing paths after she hears him on a radio broadcast. The widower's son tries to bring them together to meet at the Empire State Building. Will the two ever really meet?

Answer: Sleepless In Seattle

Starring the ever popular Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan in this cute romantic comedy. Also co-starring Rosie O'Donnell. I liked Meg's long hair in this movie. I don't like her normally short, choppy look in my opinion. This was the second out of three movies they starred in together. The first was "Joe Vs. The Volcano" and the third was "You've Got Mail".
11. Returning from the Vietnam War, a soldier trying to get to his home is picked on by a small town's sheriff. Standing up for himself they arrest and torture him. He snaps from the trauma of everything and sets out to defend himself in the woods where he defeats many single handedly before giving himself up to his old army commander.

Answer: First Blood

Starring Sylvester Stallone ("Spy Kids" trilogy), in this action packed movie. "Rambo First Blood" was the first of three Rambos. These movies and "Rocky" is what he is most famous for.
12. A couple in love and a thief out for money at all costs. A murder and a man left dead, yet still able to help his girlfriend from the thief. He just has to learn how first.

Answer: Ghost

Ghost" (1990) Starring Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore and Whoopi Goldberg. Sam, (Patrick), is the boyfriend who is murdered early in the movie. His girlfriend Molly (Demi) is still in danger. The only person able to hear Sam's ghost is Oda Mae, (Whoopi), who Sam gets to help him communicate with Molly.
13. A teenage girl goes on vacation with her family and learns the merengue along with lots of other life lessons. She also teaches others to stand up for themselves.

Answer: Dirty Dancing

"Dirty Dancing" (1987). Starring Jennifer Grey as Baby and Patrick Swayze as Johnny. Jennifer and Patrick also starred together in a film before this movie called "Red Dawn".
14. Danny just moved from New Jersey to California and has to learn to fit in. Though he finds a new girl a gang of boys won't let Danny fit in. They beat him up; bully him until the maintenance man at Danny's apartments teaches him how to defend himself. The group of boys and Danny must face off at the end to see who is "the best."

Answer: The Karate Kid

The first movie, in my opinion, is the best out of the three. There was a fourth one made later on called "The Next Karate Kid", this time starring Hillary Swank as the teenage girl who needs karate lessons.
15. A couple with three children files for divorce. The wife claiming the husband is irresponsible gets full custody of the children. The husband in order to see his three kids disguises himself and becomes the nanny.
