The clue for 'The Nutty Professor' is Eddie Murphy? Seriously? It's a good thing there aren't that many movies with 'Nutty' in the title or I would have felt compelled to post a comment about there being an entertainer named Jerry Lewis who was famous (and incredibly annoying and therefore memorable) once upon a time.... I didn't even realize 'The Nutty Professor' had a remake!

I Googled it just now and it actually shows up in the talk page of Wiktionary:

If the crux of the justification comes from citing the discussion page of Wiktionary, it's a safe bet that it's on pretty thin ice and should probably be replaced with something that's on more solid footing. Maybe: "Bad Lieutenant" "The Great Mouse Detective" "Captain Phillips" "US Marshals"

I wouldn't really say "Driver" is a job though....

I thought of this too. The problem is, though, how do you write the clue, since the job is exactly the same as the movie title. And to Possums: How is 'driver' not a job? Taxi drivers, truck drivers, bus drivers, tram drivers, train drivers, couriers and delivery drivers: how are these not jobs? Our society would grind to a halt without people doing these jobs.

The hint for Adrien Brody is "The". Oh, well now it's obvious! Maybe pick titles with a hint for the job other than an article?
