George Dawes, What are the scorees?
Full Houses:
Retardical Sam: 35
Deb_u_taunt: 30
Vincent Freeman::30
ScottyB: 30
Sehra: 30 (new Tyrell Corporation answer accepted!)
Minou: 30
Tango: 30*
L D: 30
And the rest:
Tenth: 7
Dizzy: 6*
Corpho:6
Lori_sunshhine: 6
Technically neither got the Star Wars one exactly right, as they both got the wrong episode, but I wasn’t paying attention when I gave Dizzy the point, and then it seemed harsh to deny Tango if I was allowing Diz.
Gonna have to try to toughen the next round up:

Understandably angry at only being "alive" for three years, they escape back to Earth and kill a bunch of people.
Black Rebel Motorcycle club- (The Wild One)... from the 1954 movie "The Wild One" starring Marlon Brando. The "Black Rebel Motorcycle Club", or short "Black Rebels", are a gang of 40 motorcyclists who gatecrash a legitimate motorcycle race. They are eventually thrown out, but one of the gang steals the second prize trophy and gives it to their leader, Johnny. The gang then ride into Wrightsville, where they cruise up and down the main street, and pile into Bleekers – the local bar. The owner of the bar, the Sheriff, is happy to let the bikers spend their money, so does nothing to break up any disturbances.

They Might Be Giants- (They Might Be Giants)... a 1971 movie. Plot: They Might be Giants chronicles the adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson in modern day New York City.

Dr. Watson follows Holmes across Manhattan and is, against her better judgement, drawn into the master detective's world of intrigue and danger. This is a sweet, goofy and fairly romantic film that asks the questions "Who's reality is right...and does it really matter?" ALSO: Line spoken by Don Quixote when asked why he tilted windmills ‘because the might be giants’ inspired film title, AND a ventriloquist act of a friend of the band, which is their direct inspirartion (thanks to R_Sam for the additional info)
