So is the suggestion these are the films/tv shows that launched the careers of these actors? Johnny Depp had already been on 21 Jump Street for 3 years before Edward Scissorhands came out (he had also been in A Nightmare on Elm Street). Denzel Washington had already won an Academy Award (for Glory) when he starred in Malcolm X. Sean Penn was already a superstar by the mid-90's. If you're gonna choose a 90's film for Keanu Reeves, it clearly should be Speed (came out 3 years before Devil's Advocate).

Agree with jeffthepardoner, as well as the above, Nicolas Cage had also already won an Oscar, Brad Pitt was famous after Thelma and Louise. Also it's Scissorhands not Scissorshands. I do like the idea, but I think it's just too subjective.

Thanks for the comments jeffthepardoner and chandelier. I will certainly make the changes ASAP! Also, thanks for not being overly disrespectful with your comments.

I got 17 (being British I just guessed 'SNL' on a few), but generally I thought this was a good selection. There's a couple that on personal experience I didn't expect, but not bad at all.

Edward Norton already had an Oscar nomination before American History X, and Tommy Lee Jones had one before The Fugitive. Leonardo DiCaprio also had an Oscar nomination before he made Titanic. Val Kilmer had been in many movies before Tombstone (The Doors, Top Gun, Real Genius) I have to agree with Chandelier. It is just too subjective.

DiCaprio had all the teenage girls obsessed after 'Romeo + Juliet', I remember being a male in high school at the time having to put up with it. Keanu Reeves had been in stuff like the Bill and Ted films, Parenthood, Dracula and Point Break. This quiz is never going to work because no matter what ammends to it you make it will still be subjective.
