Answer time!

#1: Moonstruck
Cher plays Loretta Castorini, a bookkeeper from Brooklyn, New York, who finds herself in a difficult situation when she falls for the brother of the man she agreed to marry (the best friend of her late husband who died seven years previously). That's the brother in the screenshot, played by Nicholas Cage.

#2: The Cell
An FBI agent persuades a child psychologist (played by Jennifer Lopez - rearmost in the screenshot), who is adept with a new experimental technology, to enter the mind of a comatose serial killer, (Vincent D'Onofrio - nearest in the screenshot... No, not the dog...), in order to learn where he has hidden his latest kidnap victim.

#3: A Night at the Opera
This is the famous train car scene from a classic 1935 Marx Brothers movie whose name was later borrowed for use as the title of a 1975 Queen album. Not to be confused with the 1937 Marx Brothers movie whose name was later borrowed for use as the title of a 1976 Queen album.

#4: Galaxy Quest
Eighteen years after their sci-fi adventure TV series was canceled, actors Gwen DeMarco, Sir Alexander Dane, Jason Nesmith, and Fred Kwan, (played by, left to right in the screenshot: Sigourney Weaver, Alan Rickman, Tim Allen, and Tony Shalhoub), are making appearances at sci-fi conventions and store openings in costume and character. Their fates are altered when aliens known as Thermians arrive and, having mistaken the old TV series for fact and consequently modeling their entire culture around it, take the "crew" into space.

Earth's future is plagued by famines and drought, and the planet will not support life for very much longer. In an attempt to ensure mankind's survival, a team of explorers travel through a newly discovered wormhole near Saturn with the aim of locating a suitable new world with the right environment to sustain the human race.

#7: Planet Terror
An ordinary evening in a small Texas town becomes a grisly nightmare when a horde of flesh-eating zombies goes on the prowl. Cherry (Rose McGowan), a go-go dancer, and Wray (Freddy Rodriguez), her ex-lover, band together with other survivors in a no-holds barred effort to escape the carnage. The odds become a bit more even when Cherry, who lost her leg to a hungry ghoul, gets a machine-gun appendage and lets the bullets fly.

#8: Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer
The movie's title character, (played by Michael Rooker), is released from prison following his mother's murder. He supplements his job as an exterminator with a series of indiscriminate and violent murders. Fellow jailbird and drug dealer Otis becomes a willing accomplice in the bloody killings. But, as the depravity escalates, things start to get out of hand.

Totally agree, FantWriter: Galaxy Quest is a really fun, rather underrated movie. In fact, at my daughter's request, we just re-watched it for the third time this past weekend. :)

FYI, I'm presently gathering screenshots for the next movie quiz. With a little luck, I'll probably be posting it Thursday night.
