  1. Christina says:

    Is #5 America’s Sweethearts?

  2. Deborah Lipp says:

    No it’s not. I’m not sure when either Julia Roberts or Catherine-Zeta Jones played a nurse.

  3. Tom Hilton says:

    #4 is The Apartment.

    Is #1 The Killing>

  4. Tom Hilton says:

    And I think #3 is Guns of Navarone (starring Atticus Finch and James Bond).

  5. Hazel says:

    I think #4 is Jack Lemmon (The Odd Couple) and Shirley MacLaine (Sweet Charity) together in The Apartment

  6. Deborah Lipp says:

    I’m giving Hazel the tie for #4.

    #1 is not the Killing but you’re getting warm.

  7. Christina says:

    Julia Roberts wasn’t a RN but nursed a dying man in the aptly named Dying Young.

  8. Deborah Lipp says:

    I see. Sorry, I never saw that film.

  9. Hazel says:

    #1 is The Asphalt Jungle with Sterling Hayden (Dr Strangelove) and Jean Hagen (Singin’ in the Rain) – thanks for the clues 🙂

  10. Melville says:

    #6 is Atlantic City with Burt Lancaster (The Birdman of Alcatraz) and Susan Sarandon (The Rocky Horror Picture Show)

  11. Deborah Lipp says:

    Well done, Hazel. Tom could have grabbed it but did not; totally legit.

    And Mel, of course you are right as well.

  12. Wendy says:

    Ooh, #5 is that movie with Philip Seymour Hoffman (Magnolia) and Laura Linney (Kinsey) as siblings. Argh. I could look it up on IMDB…. The Savages.

  13. Melville says:

    Is # 7 No Country For Old Men, with Javier Bardem (Before Night Falls) pursuing Josh Brolin (Bush) ?

  14. Wendy says:

    Is #2 a Drew Barrymore (adorable toddler) movie? Maybe Riding in Cars with Boys? (I don’t know when Steve Zahn played a bass player, though.)

  15. Deborah Lipp says:

    AGH! I was wrong about Steve Zahn. I thought he was T.B. Player in THAT THING YOU DO, but he wasn’t. Anyway, you’re right.

  16. Christina says:

    Nope, that was Ethan Embry (I think?).

  17. Deborah Lipp says:

    it was indeed Ethan Embry, I just had them mixed up.

  18. Ben says:

    Too late to solve anything, but I just want to say that The Apartment is just about my all-time favorite movie. Okay, 2 cents added.
