Do you remember these films and what they're making fun of?

Odd Job. (Gold finger was my mom and dads favorite Bond film 😊)
Cary Elwes
I don’t know the answer to the third bonus question

10/10 I've seen all of these movies. "Shaun of the Dead" is a good movie. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost were hilarious, IMHO.
