Answer: Orange

"A Clockwork Orange" was a disturbing 1971 film by Stanley Kubrick, based on the dystopian novel of the same name by Anthony Burgess (1962). Malcolm MacDowell played a young thug named Alex, whose principal interests were rape, violence, and Beethoven's Ninth Symphony.
2. In 2011 Johnny Depp found water in Dirt, Arizona (five letters).

Answer: Rango

"Rango" was a computer-animated film that mixed both comedy and the classic western. Johnny Depp provided the voice for Rango, a chameleon, who found himself in Dirt, Arizona, a town desperately in need of a new sheriff and a supply of water.
3. In 2012 Ben Affleck had a great success in Tehran (four letters).

Answer: Argo

"Argo", directed by Ben Affleck, was based on the true story of the six American diplomats who took refuge at the Canadian embassy in Tehran during the Iranian Revolution in 1979 and how they were smuggled out of the country. It won three Oscars, including that for Best Picture.
4. James Cagney had this sort of time in 1981 (three letters).

Answer: Rag

"Ragtime" was based on the novel of that name by E.L. Doctorow (1972) and was directed by Milos Forman. It was set in the early 1900s in New York and Atlantic City, with actual persons presented in fictional guise. Although it was nominated for eight Oscars, it failed to win any. It was also the last film appearance of James Cagney.
5. In 1981 where did the lights go out (two-letter postal abbreviation)?

Answer: GA

The film, "The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia", was very loosely based on a song by Vicki Lawrence (1973) and told the story of a brother and sister who travelled to Nashville to make it in the country music world. Among the cast was Mark Hamill, best known as Luke Skywalker in "Star Wars".
6. Now start adding letters. What did Daniel Day-Lewis, Winona Ryder and Michelle Pfeiffer have in 1993 that was innocent (three letters)?

Answer: Age

"The Age of Innocence" (1993) was the latest in a number of film versions of Edith Wharton's novel (1920) which told the story of a triangular relationship involving Archer (played by Day-Lewis), May a respectable woman (Ryder), and her cousin (Pfeiffer). It won one Oscar (Costume Design), and although well reviewed by the critics, was not all that popular at the box office.
7. In 1999 Johnny Depp reached the ninth what (four letters)?

Answer: Gate

8. John Wayne rode in this sort of coach in 1939 (five letters).

Answer: Stage

9. In 2004 the French government sent out a team of secret *these* to eliminate an illegal arms shipment.

Answer: Agents

"Secret Agents" (2004) was a French film dealing with a team of secret agents sent to destroy a ship carrying illegal weapons for the civil war in Angola. Along the way they found that no-one was to be trusted and every aspect of their mission was open to suspicion.
10. Bob and Doug McKenzie drank this sort of brew in 1993 (seven letters).

Answer: Strange
