Weekly Quiz: The "November" Quiz

Yes folks it's time to dust off those old encyclopedias, log onto Google, and start studying, for it is once again time for this weeks quiz.
Now last weeks quiz had a rather difficult Movie Link, and I wondered if anyone would get it. Well true to form and a fantastic knowledge of films, Will did indeed get the link, and he managed to get it from only 4 out of the 5 clues. However, he did need a few pointers from his older sibling on the cars quiz. The music round was a full house for Will, and as you may guess he has romped home to victory for a third consecutive week. Can ANYONE out there stop this man.
Due to Will's domination of this quiz, he has been able to chose the theme of the quiz this week, and he has chosen the subject of November.

So without further ado, lets get on with the quiz.

Round 1: Movie Link

OK first off with the usual round, and all you have to do is name the actor/actress and the name of the film, next you have to give me the rather explosive link between the films.
