    Jennifer Connelly

  2. Movie in which she was a teen romantic interest

  • Career Opportunities *
  1. Star of that movie
    hmm… not sure.
3

Assuming 4 is Career Opportunities, then 5 would be Frank Whaley. But is 4 correct?

4

It is not.

She’s not so much a teen as a child. Maybe 13 years old.

5

4) Movie in which she was a teen romantic interest Once Upon a Time in America

5) Star of that movie Robert Deniro

6) Movie for which he was nominated for an Oscar Raging Bull

7) His young “love interest” ???

6

  1. Taxi Driver

  2. Jodie Foster

  3. Panic Room

7

I believe DeNiro won an Oscar for that movie. The correct answer was a film for which he was merely nominated.

ETA: Not Panic Room.

14

Nope.

It’s not an obscure movie, but you might have totally missed that he was in it. For years I didn’t know that was him.

Hint: He liked to sing show tunes.

16

You got 29-35 correct.

Not Top Gun, but Anthony Edwards was in it.

17

A movie with Anthony Edwards and Tim Robbins (and nobody recognizes Robbins) and it’s not Top Gun?

18

Yep. :slight_smile:

Tim Robbins was in Top Gun? And he sang show tunes?

19

Not so much with the showtunes, but remember at the beginning when they have that encounter with the MiGs and the other pilot loses his nerve? That other pilot’s backseater was Tim Robbins.

20

Ooh, I know the last five. Can I work backwards from 42, too?
