Answer: Grumpy Old Men

The titular grumpy old men are John (portrayed by Jack Lemmon) and Max (portrayed by Walter Matthau). They are next-door neighbours, romantic rivals for the affection for Ariel (played by Ann-Margaret), and childhood friends who have been fighting for fifty-odd years.

"Grumpy Old Men" (1993) was the sixth movie which paired Lemmon and Matthau. In real life they were very close friends and over a period of 32 years, they starred in ten movies together. Perhaps the most well-known was their second movie, "The Odd Couple" (1968).

Answer: justice

This film tells the story of Rubin "Hurricane" Carter. He had a promising career as a boxer, but misfortune struck when he was arrested for three killings. Carter was convicted, but always protested his innocence, and many celebrities believed in him and wanted him to have a retrial. I won't spoil the ending, but Denzel Washington's performance is wonderful. The tagline correctly states that his legal battles for justice in his case last much longer than his career in the boxing ring, and may have consequences that are much more important in the long run.

Well, of course they were all in. The movie, directed by Steven Soderbergh, was very successful, earning $450 million upon its release.

Answer: Close Encounters of the Third Kind

A close encounter of the first kind is a UFO sighting. The second kind is observation in addition to some physical effects (electrical interference, animals panicking, damage to the ground). The third kind is, of course, contact with aliens--as Richard Dreyfuss discovered in this Spielberg film that scored nine Oscar nominations and made almost $300 million dollars. "We Are Not Alone"--indeed, according to this film, we share the universe with little aliens who look a bit like albino Gumbies.

Answer: House of Wax

"House of Wax" is a horror movie about a group of teenagers (of course) taking a wrong turn and ending up battling a set of psychopathic twins who like to embalm people in wax and display them in their dead parents' museum.

When Giselle (Adams), a fairy-tale princess, is sent to the real world by an evil witch, she tries to make it back with the help of her new friend, Robert (Dempsey). Will the evil witch prove to be too much for Giselle to handle? Who will she end up with: her fairy-tale prince, or her new, real-world friend? The tagline explains how the beginning of the movie is a cartoon fairy-tale, but it quickly turns into a dose of reality when Giselle finds herself in the real world.

Answer: The Island

Kelly murdered her husband and sister, after finding them in bed together, and Hart killed her lover, when she discovered he wasn't going to make her a star. The two now are on death row and heading for the gallows. So in an effort to escape death, the two make a bid for fame and fortune and hopefully for a reprieve. The tag line explains how, if the woman can find fame through their singing and dancing, they may just be able to get away with their murders. It depicts what the film is going to be about, music and crime.

Answer: Alien

'Alien' was a terrifying masterpiece. 'Aliens' went one step further, in that it had multiple Aliens attacking the hero Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) and the crew. 'Alien 3' was the directorial debut of David 'Fight Club' Fincher, it sees Ellen trapped in a mens prison with the Aliens.
