I didn't see this movie, so I'll have to ATA.

I know that a similar question has been asked before (the name of the film that Dillinger saw), but I've forgotten it. ATE and hope for the best.

So much for seeing that Stanley Kubrick question. Anyone who thinks BWP is anything more than bad movie fiction won't get that far.

Being a big Tim Burton fan, this is easy.

I love the soliloquy that Dr. Evil gives at group therapy about how his father "would make wild claims about inventing the question mark" and how when he was 14, he had his testicles ritually shaved....

A classic movie line.

No lifeline needed here. Jane Lynch is terrific in everything she does.

I actually got this by going the other way. I knew the other three were in "Hairspray", so Marty had to be in "Grease".

Well, carp. Have to use a lifeline here, since I never saw the movie, and I don't remember it from anywhere else. Still, I would figure that it was too eary to be a Bogart or Cooper starring vehicle, so I'd DD on A and B.
