This season, the Thursday Quiz is a sequence game. Arrange the ten items in the proper sequence!
------------
Happy Thanksgiving! This week's Thursday Quiz will be live through at least mid-day Saturday!
------------
Remember always the Fundamental Rules of the Thursday Quiz:
1. The Thursday Quiz is a POP quiz. No research, Googling, Wikiing, or use of reference books. Violators will lose their internet privileges. All of them. Permanently.
2. As long as you made it this far, you might as well play. It's not all about winning, you know. It's about using your knowledge and reason and making an educated guess. C'mon! It'll be fun!Movies

And I just realized that I misremembered one of them--wrong title to the wrong movie. Dang. But I won't change my answer anyhow. The good news is, it won't matter!
Happy Thanksgiving, 5000s et al!
Here I spent hours studying the relative caloric values of stuffing, turkey, and cranberry sauce, being SURE the quiz would be about food.
