What is "To Infinity And Beyond?"
100
For this 1982 film, Spielberg filmed many of the scenes with the camera just a few feet off the ground so that the audience would see things from the perspective of a child...or maybe a short alien. It also made it easier to see the Reese's Pieces on the ground.
What is E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial?
100

This 2022 sequel was more or less just a remake of the original, replacing Goose with Rooster, Iceman with Hangman, and the beach volleyball scene with beach football. But who cares...it was still a fantastic ride back to the danger zone.
What is Top Gun: Maverick?
200
He got no Oscar love for What's Eating Gilbert Grape, or The Aviator, or Blood Diamond, or The Wolf of Wall Street, and he wasn't even nominated for Titanic - but this actor finally found Oscar gold in 2016's The Revenant.

The title song for 1997's Men In Black, was written and performed by this co-star of the film, and included these lyrics:

What is Jaws?
300
The name of this 1994 film starring Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock is more than a bit ironic, given it is about a cop that must keep a city bus going at least 50 mph or it will explode.

This sequel, which was really a prequel, seriously pushed the gross factor by including still-beating hearts ripped out of chests, tunnels filled with thousands of insects, and for dessert, chilled monkey brains.

What is Minority Report?
500
