1. Rain Man, definitely Rain Man.
4. Since you mentioned Geiger, I bet it's Alien - which I'm pretty sure I've still never seen (saw AvP though)
5. Yep, Laurence Fishburne's character, Morpheus.
6. Plan 9 from Outer Space is the traditional one. I also hear Gigli and Battlefield Earth a lot. At the top of my personal list is Ultraviolet.
7. Is the one where you don't see them The Lion King? The other might be Coming to America. I know he plays those two kings, but I don't know who she is.
8. Ben Stein in Ferris Bueller. They talk about it on the DVD commentary.
9. Fargo
10. Kenny Baker and Anthony Daniels, the droids.

6. It used to be "Slacker" until I had the displeasure of sitting through "Sweet November". Though, more recently this has been challenged by "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind". The verdict is still out. Either way, there's 119 + 108 = 227 minutes that I'll never get back -- I never actually considered it a waste to sit through "Slacker", just an exercise in patience.
