I'll start first...

Benjamin- Joseph Gordon Levitt (slightly too old but still perfect)
Mrs. Robinson- Catherine Zeta Jones
Mr. Robinson- George Clooney
Elaine- Anna Kendrick

Silence of the Lambs:

[The Great Owl]

EDIT: Oops. I was supposed to go with It Happened One Night instead of picking my own movie, so the next person gets that one.

Carrey Mulligan as Suzy Bannion

The way this game works is you're supposed to name a movie for another person.

With all due respect, I've had this one cast in my head for a long time, and it goes like this:

Brody: Jon Hamm
Quint: Michael Fassbender
Hooper: Jessica Chastain

Not sure who would direct. Maybe Damien Chazelle...

Nice thread btw! I realize it's been around for a few months, but I am just seeing it now.
