Hey, JP and Philisha - I didn't mean to sound peevish. But more participation would mean more interest, and I didn't see that. That's okay. I happen to like puzzles and trivia, but many don't. To each his/her own. No regrets!

Excellent, Janet! And yes, you caught me with that mistake for #10.

I ditto that, Allen. Alas, some members oif this group don't practice reciprocation, at least as it applies to me. I won't mention names - you know who you are. This is one of my pet peeves on the site, but I have a no-negotiation policy: If I review an author multiple times and receive no or only a token review in return, that author gets nothing more from me, even if I might like what he or she has written. Time is limited, and we're all here to improve our writing. I'll only expend continuing effort if I can get a like reward. One hand scratches the other. One-way streets don't work. There has been a not inconsiderable number of authors on this site who know that I will be a loyal reviewer for anyone willing to do the same for me. Anyway, that's my story, and I'm sticking to it!

1. Goodfellas  Ray Liotta
2. Dillinger  Warren Oates
3. (No idea!)
4. Zodiac  Mark Ruffalo
5. American Gangster  Denzel Washington
6. Heavenly Creatures  Kate Winslet
7. Reversal of Fortune  Jeremy Irons
8. (A wild guess here) Menendez: A Killing in Beverly Hills  Edward James Olmos
9. A Cry in the Dark  Meryl Streep
10. Donnie Brasco  Johnny Depp

Edit the above: Fraud is certainly a crime...

Okay, I, of course, disagree on some of those answers.

I doubt the decision to publish this long-languishing story came from Lee herself!

Most are easy; some need some clarification:
1. a
2. e
3. d
4. e
5. b
6. e
7. c and e (I would argue that c could be considered an assault and e does involve victims for the illegal drug trade to flourish.)
8. c
9. b and d (Receipt of gratuities is too vague - could refer to waitstaff in a restaurant. But if you mean bribery, then that's definitely a crime. Padding an expense account I wouldn't consider a crime per se, but an in-house problem for a company.)
10. d ( What, you thought we wouldn't know the word? )

Janet, I'll send you a message re plantar fasciitis.

I'm acknowledging it right here and now! And yes,  I'll give you credit for Clint Eastwood. Just shows to go you - every question doesn't have just one right answer! So congrats for getting two of them right. Uh, that's only a 22% correct percentage, though. But who's counting. Besides me.

I was waiting for more tries, and then I forgot it! Sorry about that. Okay, here are the answers:
1. Robert Duvall - "Bullitt"
2. Al Pacino and John Goodman - "Sea of Love"
3. Al Pacino
4. Bruce Willis
5. Mike Connors - "Tightrope"
6. Karl Malden (partner played by Michael Douglas) - "The Streets of San Francisco"
7. George Dzundza - "Basic Instinct"
8. Denver Pyle - "Bonnie & Clyde"
10. Eddie Egan (played by Gene Hackman as Popeye Doyle in "The French Connection" I and II. Egan appeared himself in a recurring role in the TV series "Police Story."

Compared to your latest quiz, JP, this one was easy!
