3. Looks like Sleuth (link)

It's no. 248 on their top 250 list.

4. I think "Sleuth" is correct.
It is one of the greatest "so-many-twists-your-head-will-spin" movies of all time (IMHO). I have been looking for it in video stores for a while, but haven't found it.

7. That's one of two films (IIRC) where every actor got an Oscar nomination.
The other would be Give 'Em Hell, Harry, with James Whitmore.
