    Accurate response for Numbers 5 & 10 by Jamesian and vheissu, respectively. Great job!!

    Let me update the clues and ease them out a bit at the same time. But up to a certain point only. If I go any further it will be a giveaway .... and then you will accuse me of insulting your intelligence!

    #2: Unseen boss of lovely lady detectives known as Angels / 28th American president's / Maybe civil, Second World, Boer, 100 Years, of the Roses, Iran-Iraq

    #3: Layman's term for tibia+ synonym for drug pusher's minus 2 vowels / Tabulate

    #4: The Maker of the universe+ found

    #6: The Last Name of the playwright George Bernard+ body part that's between the knee and the ankle / Procurement

    #7: Thousands of trrees make up a / Goofy

    #8: Excepting / Hush-hush / Crystal's co-star in 'When Harry Met Sally'

    #9: Face+ another body part (one with the SA node)

    Come on, folks! It's time to flex those gray cells, wake up those slumbering synapses! Good luck!

    3. Schindler's List
    There once was a scotsman named Drew
    Who put too much wine in his stew
    He felt a bit drunk
    And fell off his bunk
    And landed smack into his shoe

    Excellent job, Scheherazade and kilted exile!!

    here are a couple additional prompts:

    for #4: the person who founds, let's say, a movement or a science is also said to be the person who ______ that movement/science.

    for #9: when you face the unknown (for instance), it means that you _____ it.

    Right! Excellent, Scheherazade!

    It's a 2007 movie by Sean Penn.

    Is #1 "Crossing Over" ?
