Here’s one with an easy answer:
Grease 2
Love Letters
Desperately Seeking Susan
Real Genius
Children of a Lesser god
Ishtar
Big
The Prince of Tides
My Own Private Idaho
Wayne’s World
Neither Clay nor this Marshall were ever Vice-Pres or Pres.
Corect, Sonoma, being a truck, would qualify it as an odd man out. There are several more.
Anita Gillette
Jennifer Jason Leigh
Alyson Reed
Liza Minnelli
Jill Haworth
Ah! OK.
Marshall never served in an elected office?

Only Daniel Webster is better remembered as a fictionalized version of himself from the story “The Devil and Daniel Webster” by Stephen Vincent Benét.
No, but you’re getting warm.
All except McKinley served as Secretary of State.
I believe you’re right but that wasn’t my intended answer. Think history and geography.
All of them played Sally Bowles (Cabaret) on Broadway, except Liza Minnelli, who only played her on film.
Both excellent answers. bibliophage’s was the one I originally intended, though I did notice Mr Zox’s also … after I posted.
I know this wasn’t the intended answer, but aluminum is the only one that doesn’t have multiple allotropic forms.
I don’t think Alyson Reed played her on Broadway, although she did play her on stage. It does have to do with playing Sally Bowles, but the distinction I had in mind was something else. Hint: think longevity.
Here are my answers to this one since it’s been dormant for 24 hours:
Cadillac El Dorado
Chevy Malibu
Chrysler Imperial
GMC Sonoma
Mercury Monterey
Sunbeam Alpine
[spoiler]Malibu is the only model name that is not a Californina county name.
El Dorado is the only one mis-spelled. It should be Eldorado, the spelling I gave conforms with California county names.
Sunbeam is the only one not made by a US auto manufacturer.[/spoiler]
Franklin
Johnson
Washington
Lincoln
Adams
Harrison
Monroe
Grant
Jefferson
Madison
Jackson
The answer is NOT that Franklin wasn’t a president, and that’s also your hint.
I’ll guess they are al counties in some state, maybe Georgia or North Carolina, except Harrison. The correct answer must have to do with the names, not the men, since there were two presidents names Harrison, and which one is not specified in the question
You are on the right track, but it’s not either one of those states, and the answer isn’t Harrison. And that’s another clue.
They’re all counties in Indiana except Lincoln.
They’re all counties in Kentucky except Adams.
It was Indiana I was thinking of. Washington-Monroe were the past and presidents, presidents, plus the president-elect, when Indiana became a state, and those counties were actually named for them. Harrison was named for the family that was one of the settlers of Indiana, of which WH was already a member, and which would produce Benjamin Harrison. The rest are just relatively common names and are coincidental, except Franklin-- that one may have been named for Benjamin Franklin, I’m not sure. There’s a Hamilton, a Hancock, and a Henry county, so I’m guessing yes.
But Grant, Jackson and Johnson got their names other ways.
Charles I of England
Constantine the Great
Frederick the Great
Nicholas II of Russia
Olaf II of Norway
Stephen I of Hungary
Everyone but Olaf either had their body tampered with in some way before burial, or after by being moved around to new gravesites (sometimes several) after original burial.
Here’s a new list:
Carson City, Nevada
Denver, Colorado
West Point, New York
Boston, Massachusetts
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
New Orleans, Louisiana
Dahlonega, Georgia
Charlotte, North Carolina
