1. I had heard of this war movie about criminals going on a suicide mission during World War II so I was thrilled to see it on TV. This wasn't it though.

2. With all this talk of the world coming to an end, I thought I'd better watch something that might help me prepare for it. So I thought I'd rent a movie about it. Turns out I had a war movie about Vietnam instead. What was the movie I'd rented from 1979, starring Martin Sheen?
3. I'm a baseball fan and I've heard all the nicknames of different players. So I thought I'd found a movie about Roger Clemens or maybe Cy Young. When I began to watch though, I discovered a movie from 1955 about drug abuse and gambling. What is this Otto Preminger directed movie?
4. Historical dramas are always good. So when I saw a movie about the Romans I immediately decided to see it. It wasn't about Rome though, it concerned a petty thief who moves from the country to the city's east end to join a gang. What is the name of this 1931 movie?
5. Zombie movies are very popular, not to mention on TV too! So when I saw an advertisement for a movie I hadn't seen yet, off to the theatre I went. Of course, I was in for a surprise.

6. Next time I went to the movies, I took in what I thought was a spy and conspiracy thriller. I thought it would be about agents planted in other countries until they were needed. What I got instead was a campy comedy with biting satire and slapstick. What was this 1973 Woody Allen comedy?
7. Have you ever wondered why they don't make soap operas into movies? Well maybe that's not such a great idea anyway, but I thought I had found one.

Instead I watched a movie about a woman dressed as a man dressed as a woman. What was the name of this confusingly plotted movie?
8. Medical dramas are fun. These movies include the race against time, the final inoculation, the misunderstood disease and the unusual symptoms.

9. A biography on the first openly gay politician assassinated in 1978 came out in 2008. I found out later it was called 'Milk' and starred Sean Penn.
