Match the film stars with their films.

The only snag is, they're all represented by initials. The film stars are in the first list. The films are in the second. Simply join the lists up.

Please begin with the film star, then connect him/her to his/her films...

e.g. 1-Z... 2-Y... 3-X... etc.

Those aren't the right answers, of course. LOTS of bonus points to be awarded if you can name all the films.

1. JC (James Coburn - Billybigbananas)

2. CD (Charles Durning - Grease For Roads)
