Ok I got four for 'Cat, two for incognito, and 1 for goodzilla...He was close on the bonus, sorta
It was Lou Reed's "Romeo Had Juliet" from the New York album... (incidently, "Sword of Damocles" from that album also would have been acceptable.
The first question is now closed!
I'll post #2 once I update the scores...

Ok question #2:
Name a Books or Movie Series where the main conflict is between a son and a father.
1 point each for those conflicts were the father and son know they are related (like Zeus sending Hercules on his Trials)
2 points each if they don't know they're related (like Star Wars)
There are two Super Secret Bonuses(one a book, one a movie), which are 3 points each
Couple points of clarification:
Trilogies and such could as 1, not 3 or 4 (i.e Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back, RoTJ are all the same) UNLESS there are two different conflicts
Fighting over a girl/ whom to marry doesn't could (that could come two thirds of the romances ever made)

"Field of Dreams" ? Don't know if that counts as the 'main' conflict.

If you're meaning my post, I meant the Ang Lee movie. If you're just asking, sorry about that  |

Austin Powers and his Father try to stop Dr. Evil and Goldmember, and it is revealed that Nigel Powers is Dr.Evil's Father (which also reveals that Austin and Dr. Evil are brothers)...

I think no on Austin Powers.. I'd say the conflict is between Austin and Dr. Evil... his son is really a subplot at best.
The others are good!

Hmm.... Shrek 2..? There was a whole family conflict going on, but the main (non-underlying) fight was between Shrek and Harold...Harold's Wife and Daughter were quite a lot more understanding i.e. didn't hire a hitman to kill his step-son... |

I'm totally stumped on this one. My brain has completely shut down on this question.

Yeah, this one's tough...I mentioned to Ace that Star Wars pretty much put a copyright on Father/Son conflict in movies... Might have to go to books... |

Wow, I thought there's be a lot..
I got clues!
The book Super Secret Bonus the family name of father and son is the username of someone here.
The movie supersecret movie in a trilogy, and involves a whole 'family' not just a father and son.
1 more for can (I don't think Shrek counts... too much of a stretch)
