I think I have it:

1) Doctor Caligari
2) A Holiday for The Doctor
3) Peter Cushing
4) Grand Moff Tarkin
5) Lensman (Series) and The Hidden Fortress

Ahh, Zach, I was just figuring out the novel, but the rest matches my research (Wikipedia and IMDB FTW!)

Lensman makes sense to me, though.

Ahh, heheh Grand Moff Tarkin... Change that to Grand Moff Larkin, and then that Battle Station would really have been "Perfick!"

:-D

Congratulations, Zach! You're very nearly there...

Number (2) has a slight error, though, as I asked for the name of the *serial* and you've given me the name of the *episode*. Geek fu is a pedantic martial art. ;)

Still, I'm happy to give you 90% of the glory, with the remaining 10% to whomever can correct your slight mistake.

Well done for getting it so fast!

Uh, that would be 'The Gunfighters'?

I'm sorry, let's take that again:

1. Doctor Caligari
2. The Gunfighters
3. Peter Cushing
4. Grand Moff Tarkin
5. Lensman | The Hidden Fortress

What was the prize again?

"Change that to Grand Moff Larkin, and then that Battle Station would really have been "Perfick!""

Perrrfick! Lol

"The Gunfighters" is correct, Fang. Enjoy your share of the glory! :) (Alas, I don't have anything more substantial to offer as a prize this month...)
