Answer: Jennifer Aniston

In "Rumor Has It..." (2005), Mark Ruffalo played Jeff Daly, whose girlfriend Sarah found out that a man her mother had an affair with could be her father. Her subsequent affair with the same man (who was not really her father) threatened her relationship with Jeff, to whom she was engaged.

In 2003's "Bruce Almighty" (2003), Jennifer Aniston played Grace, whose boyfriend Bruce (Carrey) got the opportunity to be God for awhile.

Walter Getz (Carrey) was one of Charlie's friends from school, as well as the boyfriend of Peggy Sue's friend, Maddy, in "Peggy Sue Got Married" (1986). Peggy Sue (Kathleen Turner) travelled back in time to her senior year of high school after fainting at her high school reunion.

In "Lethal Weapon 2" (1989), Leo Getz (Pesci) was an annoying federal witness whom Riggs and Murtaugh (Mel Gibson and Danny Glover) were assigned to protect.
3. Nicky's (Joe Pesci) friend Monty had to give up his bad habits in order to inherit his mother-in-law's money.

Answer: Easy Money

Monty's drinking, smoking, gambling and overeating bothered his mother-in-law, so she stipulated that he could only get her fortune if he discontinued his habits, something he found extremely hard to do. "Easy Money" (1983) starred Rodney Dangerfield as Monty, Candice Azzara as his wife, and Taylor Negron as his daughter Allison's fiancé.
4. Jennifer Jason Leigh's character in "Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle", and Kathleen Turner's character in "Romancing the Stone" both had the same occupation. What was it?

"The War of the Roses" (1989) was a black comedy about a couple (played by Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner) whose love for each other eventually turned to hate. A group of kids, including Mikey, went in search of pirate treasure in order to save their homes from foreclosure, in "The Goonies" (1985). Mary Ellen Trainor, who played sister Elaine to Kathleen Turner's Joan Wilder in "Romancing the Stone", also appeared in the "Lethal Weapon" movies as the police psychiatrist.

Answer: WWII

Sean Astin played Rascal, the ball turret gunner on the Memphis Belle crew, in "Memphis Belle" (1990). The movie showed a fictionalized account of the Belle's final mission to Bremen. In "The Notebook" (2004), Noah (Ryan Gosling) met Allie while she was visiting Seabrook for the summer.

The two fell in love, but Allie bowed to pressure from her mother and broke up with Noah just before her parents took her back home.

Gil wanted to be successful with his career, but didn't want to sacrifice time with his kids to accomplish this.

His dilemma became more apparent to him when he found out his wife was expecting their fourth child. Jason Robards, Harley Jane Kozak, Keanu Reeves and Mary Steenburgen also starred in "Parenthood" (1989).
9. Steve Martin's character in "Three Amigos!", Lucky Day, was in the same profession as Laura Linney's character in "The Truman Show". What profession was it?

Answer: Acting

In "Three Amigos!" (1986), Lucky Day, Dusty Bottoms and Ned Nederlander (Martin, Chevy Chase and Martin Short) were three out-of-work actors who thought they were hired to "put on a show" for a bigwig in Mexico. In actuality, they learned that everybody liked "My Little Buttercup", you should always fire your weapon in the air when the invisible swordsman is around, and a village which can sew will beat the bad guy every time.

In the reality show that was Truman Burbank's life, actress Hannah Gill (Linney) played Truman's wife, Meryl. Jim Carrey played the title role in "The Truman Show" (1998), earning him a Golden Globe award for Best Actor.
