m-t-s-thursday movie trivia... one of these things is not like the other...

sing it with me...

One of these things is not like the others,
One of these things just doesn't belong,
Can you tell which thing is not like the others
By the time I finish my song?

movie trivia today is figuring out which thing is not like the others. If you can identify the one thing (actor/movie) that is not like the other, you'll get 500 points. If you can identify the reason it's not like the others, you'll get an additional 500 points. A couple of them may have opportunities for additional points as well... same rules apply... no cheating... any unguessed or mis-guessed answers/points go to me!! i've given clues because evidently it's too hard to get into my head... but right now, i feel like i've over-compensated... and maybe next week's will be better...

Just a word of caution - all the questions/answers have to do with actors/characters/movies - not the plots or necessarily similarities in the lists... for instance... #9 is not that they're all sports movies and #6 is not that they're all comedians... (not that all of them are necessarily comedians - but you get the point...) it's more specific than general...

5. if you can identify the link between what is alike/not alike, you will get an additional 500 points on this question, 1500 points available: (Jeremy Iron's dad was a tax consultant...) (i can not think of a clue that won't give it away... they're (the ones that are alike) all in a movie together and my favorite quote from it is... "Whoa! Ugly!") , 1000 points to chirs, the "missing link" is that jeremy irons plays aramis (same character as charlie sheen) in the man in the iron mask... but, again, the points go to no one... it's just useless information...
