Andy Serkis did a lot more than just the voice. He did the motion capture which helped Gollum appear so real.

Still 100% all correct

4. Bob Newhart.

10. The Ghost Breakers
12. Mos Def

Gail - good answer!

Koala - "yup" to Mos Def, but I have a different one for the goose pimples (although very close in release date to your answer).

10. The Cat and the Canary?

It was, Fil - for a comedy that was quite scary in parts

Hadn't seen The Ghost Breakers so looked it up in IMDB - must try and get it on video. Looked quite similar to The Cat and the Canary, even the gags:

The Ghost Breakers -
Geoff Montgomery: It's worse than horrible because a zombie has no will of his own. You see them sometimes walking around blindly with dead eyes, following orders, not knowing what they do, not caring.

Larry Lawrence: You mean like Democrats?

The Cat and the Canary -
Cicily: It's awful spooky down here. Do you believe in reincarnation?

Wally Campbell: Huh?

Cicily: You know... that dead people come back?

Wally Campbell: You mean like the Republicans?
