2K: didn't know this going in, but none of those names make sense for A, C or D. I know C & D are characters from literary fiction, & think A may be too*. Only B was in a movie not based on a book. You wouldn't change the name of a main character from a book. I hope.

3K: I didn't know this going in, but I sure know about this particular back yard.

5K: I never heard of French Kiss. I knew Sleeping was Bullock. Hope I would have remembered if I was actually playing.

*yup; Wikifooledya is good for something here:
