Default Help needed with some cryptic questions

I've been set a number of challenges by a colleague to complete while I 'work really hard' during my 12 week notice period. Anyone able to help me with any of these? Other challenges involve punching people in the face and turning up to a meeting dressed as Lara Croft!

9, Complete this brainteaser.

a) Name the film in which Wood played Maria



b) Name the TV series in which Irons played around with a gay bloke and a teddy bear (Brideshead Revisited?)



c) Name the film, where the hero has amnesia and discovers he works for Treadstone

d) Complete the lyric to this #1 hit. “I was sick and tired of everything when I called you last night …………………………………”



e) Name the film, in which the Hardman is last seen driving off with his son in an AC Cobra?



The 5 answers above have 5 Bakery connections, name them.





10, Cryptic Directors, name the Directors form these cryptic clues.



a) This man is in the dark, because he hasn’t seen it.



b) This guy is not bitter.



c) XTC once had plans for this comic character (Making plans for Nigel?)



d) His wife might want to seduce Ben in a frogman outfit.

9a Natalie Wood played Maria in West Side Story... Not too sure if this is right.
9b Jeremy Irons was in Playaway... Not sure if this is right either
9c The Bourne Identity - I'm sure on this one as I've recently read the book

The Director: Matthew Vaughn, who was going to make X-Men 3 (but not now - 'once had plans for comic character' link)
