Re: Movies of the Decades
Spot on Dave. 
Do you remember a film called Elephant Walk from 1954?
Probably one of the first films I remember my parents taking me to see at the local cinema. Starred Elizabeth Taylor, Dana Andrews and Peter Finch.

Re: Movies of the Decades
No doubt these are the answers but you didn't give the full genres as per IMDB. 
Thank heaven for Wikipedia, etc.
I've never heard of No. 5 and have only seen No. 1.
1. Finding Nemo - Willem Dafoe (you missed the Animation/Adventure bit out. )
2. Toy Story Three - Tom Hanks (---ditto---)
3. Shrek the Third - Eddie Murphy (---ditto as '1' ---)
4. Kung Fu Panda - Jack Black (classed as Animation/Action/Adventure on IMDB )
5. Up - Christopher Plummer (---ditto as '1' ---)
PS. You're only younger by 16 months and 27 days.
