Question 1
The creature was designed by a Swiss artist known for nightmarish, machine-like art, and the cast were kept in the dark about how one dinner-table scene would play out, so their shock is real. Its poster promised that in space no one can hear you scream. 
Question 2
A film crew sails to a hidden island and captures a giant ape, then puts him on a New York stage in chains. The animal was a model about half a metre tall, moved one frame at a time, and 1933 crowds had never seen anything like it.
Question 3
A broken mechanical shark forced the young director to keep the creature off screen for most of the running time, which only made it scarier. It opened in hundreds of cinemas at once with heavy television advertising in the summer of 1975. 
Question 4
A sour TV weatherman covering a small-town festival wakes up to find he is reliving the same date over and over, with no way out. He uses the endless repeats first for fun, then despair, then to better himself. 
Question 5
Set in the late 1920s, it pokes fun at silent-movie stars struggling with the switch to sound. Its lead had a high fever the day he danced and splashed through a downpour on a studio street with the sprinklers running.
Question 6
A ruthless oil man builds a fortune in early-1900s California, feuding with a young preacher and driving away everyone close to him. It ends with a violent confrontation in a private bowling alley over a glass of milkshake. 
Question 7
Teenagers in a suburban town are stalked in their sleep by a burned man with knives for fingers on one glove. If he kills you in a dream, you die for real, so the kids fight to stay awake.
Question 8
In wartime Italy, a cheerful Jewish bookshop owner is sent to a prison camp with his small son and pretends the whole ordeal is an elaborate game with a tank as the prize, to shield the boy from the truth.
Question 9
The change from a brown-tinted farm to full colour as a door swings open was a showpiece for a costly new colour system. The teenage lead wore a corset to look younger, and the actor first cast as the Tin Man fell ill from his metallic make-up.
Question 10
Almost one long chase across a desert, as a one-armed driver and a haunted drifter flee a warlord in a roaring convoy to free five captive women. The 2015 film used real stunt vehicles and crews in the Namib desert.
