Who's up for a movie meme?

Shamelessly stolen from 
roochak
1. Name a movie that you have seen more than 10 times:
All of the Star Wars movies, god help me. The first four Star Trek movies. Ghostbusters. All of the James Bond movies.
2. Name a movie that you've seen multiple times in a theater: All of the Star Wars, Ghostbusters, the James Bond movies from 1980 through 2000, Avatar
3. Name an actor that would make you more inclined to see a movie: Robert Downey Jr.
4. Name an actor that would make you less likely to see a movie: Adam Sandler. Can't stand him anymore. :P
5. Name a movie that you can quote from: All of the "Seen more than 10 times" movies I can quote readily from. I'm not sure that's a good thing. O.o
6. Name a movie musical that you know all the lyrics to all the songs: Movie musical? What's that? :D
7. Name a movie musical that you have been known to sing along with: *taps his head* Still not getting a reading. Adjusting the frequency...
8. Name a movie that you would recommend everyone see: Lord of Illusions. First off, I usually eschew most horror movies. Aside from the brilliant 'Cabin in the Woods', I've probably seen only a handful of horror movies in my life. So I wouldn't necessarily label Lord of Illusions as a horror movie by itself. More of a scary thriller. Directed by Clive Barker himself, it has his character, Harry D'Amour pulled into a detective case involving magicians and a Charles Manson-like figure who may or may not be still alive. Scary, intelligent and just fun to watch. It gives you a horror element without drowning you in buckets of blood like other movies do. It also has a fun subplot about magic, and damn... I just love watching Scott Bakula in just about anything he's in.
9. Name an unusual movie that you own: Fritz The Cat. Very counter-culture, off-beat, with a ton of social-political controversy and directed by Ralph Bakshi based on the Robert Crumb character. The first animated movie to receive an X-rating in movie history. Definitely not for kids. Shot for under a million, and ended up grossing anywhere between $100 million and $200 million, so it became unbelievably profitable for an 'X-rated furry movie'. As some of the reviews state, there's something in here to offend everyone. ;)
10. Name an actor that launched his/her entertainment career in another medium. There's a whole list of musicians that became actors. Unfortunately, the vast majority of them aren't very good. But there are a few that succeed. Harry Connick Jr. LL Cool J. Ice Cube. David Bowie. Dean Martin. Queen Latifah.
11. Have you ever seen a movie in a drive-in?: At least 5 or 6. The last one I can remember was my Dragonslayer/Flash Gordon twosome.
12. Ever made out in a movie?: It's not the greatest place to make out in. If you're paying money to watch a movie, and then you're making out, you might miss some important plot element.
13. Name a movie that you keep meaning to see but just haven't gotten around to it: Hate to say this. Really do. Casablanca. Yeah, I've never seen it. I keep meaning to. :(
14. Ever walked out of a movie?: None that I can recall. Nothing's been so bad that I just couldn't stand to see anymore.
15. Name a movie that made you cry: Grrrfff. There have been several, but I can't remember them at the moment.
16. Popcorn?: Not as often as I used to eat it. I really have to be hungry, and even then, I usually eat most of it before the movie starts.
17. How often do you go to the movies?: At least once a month, sometimes twice.
18. What's the last movie you saw in the theatre?: Riddick. It was pretty good, though I wonder if they're ever going to make a sequel to it. The ending just screamed, 'We're not done yet!'.
19. What is your favorite/preferred genre of movie?: Action/thriller If there's a bodycount, I'm usually going to be there. :D
20. What was the first movie you remember seeing in the theatre?: While I distinctly remember seeing the original Star Wars in the theaters, I don't remember doing so until later in the summer. So I'm going to go with a movie that came out a few weeks later, but I remember seeing right as it came out. And that's Disney's, "The Rescuers".

For musicians that became actors you forgot : Tim Curry and Bruce Willis ;)

OP
I actually had to look up both actors in Wikipedia to see if you were correct. Tim Curry did receive classical voice training as a youth, so you are correct in that notion. Bruce Willis seems to have done most of his after he became an actor.

Hm was thinking they did their stuff before they were in movies.
