The actor in Memento was Guy Pearce.

The Godfather was the only one to win Best Picture but not Best Director. There we go! I think everyone just assumes that Coppola won this award, when in fact it went to Bob Fosse for Cabaret. While The Godfather did take home Best Picture honors in 1972, Coppola had to wait until 1974 to win Best Director for The Godfather, Part II.

[cosmosRIP]

12. "The gun again. Can't you guys just play nice?" (Correctly identified as Christopher Walken, still looking for movie and character.)
Suicide Kings?

[jmh30]

B1 takes care of some more leftovers... Robin Williams's character in Good Will Hunting was indeed named Sean, Jason Mewes played Jay in Clerks as well as four other movies, and Samuel L. Jackson played Zeus (like the Greek god) in Die Hard 3. CosmosRIP correctly identifies Walken's line as being from the movie Suicide Kings.

I think Walken was Carlo in Suicide Kings.

[B1]

25. is A.I. I think it was Jude Law's Gigilo Joe. Not sure on the charachter, but I am on the movie
