"It's a Wonderful Life"
(however, that's an urban legend; the Sesame Street characters did not get their names from that film)

"Erin Brockovich"

the answer they're probably looking for is Samuel L. Jackson
(however, Richard Roundtree was also in the film playing his original character Shaft, i.e. Uncle John Shaft, the uncle of Jackson's character, but identified in the *next* remake as the father of Jackson's character)
