these answers may not be right so please check b4 u enter

Q2 Strictly speaking, Christopher Reeve was in the rescue ship in "Gray Lady Down" so he was never "trapped in a sunken submarine" but I can't find anyone else who would fit.

Answer to Question 8, from, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Farewell_to_Arms, accessed online 10th May, 2012, I believe that the answer is, "A Farewell to Arms."

Q10 Appears to require an actress to be the object of the biography.  So far I can only find  the movie Mommie Dearest, about Joan Crawford.  My guess is Marilyn Monroe but I will try to confirm....

Eva Perón was an actress although she was more famous as a political figure. Imdb shows she was in six films as an actress. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0675831/ However, there could well be a better known actress with two biopics released in one year so I'm still looking.

NO. 4 IS RUSSELL CROWE BUT IT WAS IN THE MOVIE PROOF

I'm never very good at these but I think No 7 might be CLIFTON WEBB (playing the role of Waldo Lydecker) in Laura (1994).

Off the top of my head I wonder if The Maltese Falcon is the answer to Q6
