I'll put a fork in this one: The first movies that each of the stars made after returning home from WWII service.
Ah, thanks--I thought you meant John Wayne for the first film, which is where I got off-track (since, for reasons not entirely of his own doing, he was unable to serve).

Duran Duran
The Fratellis
Veruca Salt
Wu Tang Clan
Fine Young Cannibals
Each band's name was inspired by characters from a movie?
Duran Duran: Barbarella (1968) (Dr. Durand Durand)
The Fratellis: The Goonies (1985)
Veruca Salt: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory*(1971)
Wu Tang Clan: Shaolin and Wu Tang (1983)
Fine Young Cannibals: All the Fine Young Cannibals (1960)
(* technically, Veruca Salt was inspired by the character in the original 1964 novel)

You got it, Peebs! Now all you have to do is explain why "daughter" doesn't rhyme with "laughter." (Hint: I have no idea.) 🙂
Great job, and your turn...

There is no soundtrack whatsoever with this movie except for its trailer. What goes on?
There are two extended clips on the TCM website (each about 4 minutes long), both of which definitely have a score:

Thanks, Miles!
Next: Beatles Song / Film Title Mashup
All the answers combine the title of a Beatles song (first half) with the title of a movie (second half). The last word/words of the song match the first word/words of the movie (so there's an overlap). The clue for each example will be the first and last words of the resulting mashup.
For example: Got / Dog = Got to Get You Into My Life as a Dog ("Got to Get You Into My Life" + My Life as a Dog).
There will probably be multiple possible correct answers in some cases, and I'm happy to count anything that still makes grammatical, if not necessarily logical, sense. (So, Got to Get You Into My Life is Beautiful, for example, would unfortunately NOT count as an answer to Got/ Dog). Good luck + have fun! 🙂
P. S. all mashups below are listed in alphabetical order, not counting "a" and "the" (second word is the basis for alphabetizing in those cases). If you find a valid answer that uses a different second word (i.e. that wouldn't fall in the same alpha order), that's fine.
Googling "Beatles song list" may be helpful!
1. All / Afternoon
2. Baby / Mancha
3. A / Blimp
4. Get / Future
5. Fixing / Head
6. A / Lisbon
7. If / Me
8. I'm / Enemy
9. The / Zanzibar
10. The / Dead
11. PS / Dupree
12. Sgt / Outsiders
13. She's / Influence
14. She's / Holidays
15. Tell / Love
16. Ticket / Country
17. Why / Perdition

They won Oscars as actors and were nominated as screenwriters?
Yes, that's it! Clooney was also co-nominated for the screenplay of The Ides of March (2011), Gordon for Adam's Rib (1949), and Ustinov for Hot Millions (1969). (Ustinov wasn't Oscar-nominated for the screenplay of Billy Budd, but he did receive a BAFTA nomination.)
Great job, Arsan, and it's now your thread. 🙂
