Damn, I suck with actresses. I got all the actors but two, and missed all the actresses but 1.

Totally drew a blank on Samuel L. Jackson and Julie Andrews. And considering how many times I've seen The Big Lebowski, I'm a bit embarrassed to have missed Jeff Bridges as well.

I was convinced the Jackson clues referred to Liam Neeson for a long time - Gangs of New York, Phantom Menace, just didn't have an eye patch in Taken...

Not nearly enough time. There is only time to fill them in right away. The questions are not that hard, and should ve been guessed a lot more then they are (with a few exceptions perhaps) but there is no time to remember the names.

Julia Roberts plays a fiancée, not a fiancé. Not even in today's mad world.

Another one who was looking for a male actor because of the spelling of fiance. Julia Roberts would be described as a fiancee.

Nitpick: Mace Windu was a Jedi Master, not a Jedi Knight. These are ranks, so you lose one if you gain the other.

Also, maybe more time? I only got halfway through in four minutes.

Similarly surprised about Audrey Hepburn. "Cockney in need of voice lessons" is unmistakable. I guess we're just at a point where the stars of the 60s and 70s, however great, have faded from view.

But Robin Williams did NOT play a British nanny. He played a man who impersonated a British nanny. That's the whole point of the film.
