People who watch lots of films - I need your help

Hi everyone, I am setting up a quiz in honour of my mil. She will watch an entire film, fixate on a tiny detail and then try to tell you about it, using that detail with no recollection os any of the storyline, actors or characters.
(before I am asked she's always been like this :o)
So for example when she talks about "the one with the oranges" she is apparently talking about an Indians Jones film.
We all tease her about this and she takes it in good humour.
So I'm setting up a quiz in that style - except I don't watch many films. I was thinking I might give an additional clue for each, eg actor or character initials, or year of release.

So along the lines of "the one with the box of chocolates" - main actor TH.

I need your suggestions please!
