Then she reveals she has an unusual way of making love: she needs classical music at the background, and more especially Ravel's Bolero.

Answer: Chemical pollution caused unusual growth.

In the opening sequence to "Eight Legged Freaks", we see a distracted truck driver evading a rabbit and losing, in doing so, one of the barrels with toxic waste his truck carries. The barrel falls into a drainage ditch, and we can see a warning sign on the barrel. The contents spread out through the ditch. The next scene shows us an amateur entomologist catching an enlarged butterfly and pondering on what might have got into the water.
The stars in "Eight Legged Freaks", other than the spiders, are David Arquette (who plays a mining engineer) and Kari Wuhrer (as the female sheriff). They take up the task of protecting the villagers against those huge spiders. Scarlett Johansson has a role as the sheriff's daughter.
Ellory Elkayem, the director, also was responsible for writing the story and the screenplay - together with Randy Kornfield (story only) and Jesse Alexander (screenplay only).
The red herrings refer to other movies. The muggles are non-wizards in the "Harry Potter" franchise. The radiation incident refers to "The Fantastic Four". Wayne Szalinski is the inventor in the movies "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" (1989) and three sequels.

Answer: Butterfield 8

At that time, phone numbers were always given as a word with three, later five, digits after it. The first two letters of the word corresponded with the first two digits of the phone number. So "Butterfield 8" stood for B-U-8 (288), the extention number clients requested to reach the "call girl" played by Taylor.

Answer: Ingmar Bergman

In Bergman's movie "The Seventh Seal", Max von Sydow plays a knight returning from the Crusades with his squire (played by Gunnar Bjornstrand). When the knight and the squire reach their homeland, they notice that many of their compatriots have died due to the plague. Then Death (a role by Bengt Ekerot) informs the knight that his time to part from this world has come. The knight then challenges Death to a chess match, with his own life and his squire's on the stake.
Bergman (1918-2007) was nominated for nine Oscars, but never won one - except a special achievement award in 1971. By the way, none of the other great directors I've mentioned here ever won an Oscar.
Max von Sydow also played a role in several other of Bergman's movies, among others "Ansiktet" (1957) and "Bröllopsdagen" (1960).
Max von Sydow has never worked with Akiro Kurosawa, François Truffaut nor Federico Fellini.

Answer: James Mason

It was based on Jules Verne's classic novel, which had been published eighty-four years prior to the film's release. Five years later, Mason starred in the film version of another Verne novel, "Journey to the Center of the Earth". The other three men listed were all popular actors at that time, and all appeared on "I Love Lucy." Mason did not. His next movie after "Leagues" was "Forever Darling". The stars of that film? Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz!
