Answer: Urinary Tract (Bladder) Infection

The film is told in a flashback format, focusing on the life of corrections officer Paul Edgecombe during his time looking after prisoners on Death Row. Michael Clark Duncan, who portrayed the super-naturally gifted John Coffey, earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor in a Supporting Role for his performance.

Answer: Anthony Hopkins

The film deals with a long distance relationship that begins in 1949 between an avid New York book reader, Helene played by Anne Bancroft, and a London dealer of antique books (Frank). All their communications are via correspondence with circumstances conspiring to keep them from meeting.

By the time Helene does make it to London, some twenty years later, it is too late. Bancroft won a British Academy Award (BAFTA) for her performance as Helene and Dame Judi Dench also earned the award for her work in a supporting role. Considering the subject nature of the film, I was quite surprised to note that one of the producers was Mel Brooks of "Blazing Saddles" fame.

Answer: The Ladykillers

An explosive device is accidentally triggered by a gang member in a tunnel. As he races to escape his IBS flares up, slowing him down so that the resultant explosion throws him against a table. This alerts the old lady who uncovers the plot and delivers an ultimatum to the robbers - return the money and go to confession or she'll call the police.

The gang have a third alternative. The film is directed by the Coen brothers, Joel and Ethan, with Tom Hanks in the lead role as the mastermind of the heist. Marva Munsen plays the God-fearing little old lady and JK Simmons takes the role of the explosives expert, Garth Pancake, with the IBS issue.

Believe it or not, this is the only time the writers took the opportunity to explore the use of a flatulence joke in the film. As Leslie Nielsen's character, Dr Alan Rumack, starts to recite another stricken passenger's symptoms - dry throat, dizzy spells, extremely itchy rashes, muscle spasms, drooling and, of course, uncontrollable flatulence, Peter Graves is behind with a growing look of horror as he acts out each one of the symptoms as they're called, including the 'backside bazouki'.
The Farrelly Brothers cite this movie as one of their greatest inspirations.

Answer: Ron's wand was broken.

Ron's wand gets broken early in the film when the car he and Harry (Potter) are travelling in crashes into the Whomping Willow. His endeavours to repair it fail so that any spell cast with it generally affects the wand wielder. The spell, correctly called 'Slugulus Eructo', causes the victim to throw up slime and slugs for about ten minutes. Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) revealed that the slugs used in the movie were a root-beer flavoured confection.
