How do you know this stuff. This blows my mind.
Presumably you've looked up some of these by now, and realize how few of them I actually did know. I even mixed up the Kevin Kline President movie with the Michael Douglas President movie. I just don't leave stuff blank unless I can't even come up with a good guess or a joke answer.

Why now, because we thought alike on the Truman question?

Or all my joke answers.....

At least I've got Pea fooled.
Can't I love you just because?

I don't know if the Truman answer was right, but Truman = Whitmore. It's a law of nature and who am I to go against it?

4. “Bicentennial Man” (1999) - Lynne Thigpen
5. “Mars Attacks!” (1996) - Jack Nicholson
6. “Young Mr. Lincoln” (1939) - Henry Fonda
7. “Annie” (1982) - Edward Herrmann
8. “Dick” (1999) - Dan Hedaya
9. “The Right Stuff” (1983) - Donald Moffat
10. “Dr. Strangelove” (1964) - Peter Sellers
11. “Species II” (1998) - Richard Belzer
12. “The Man from Independence” (1974) - Robert Vaughn
