I liked the movie question because it's slightly offbeat without being ridiculous. I also happen to like movies a lot and think the types of movies people enjoy say a lot about the person. As far as projecting where you'll be in 5 years.....of course no one knows. The point with most 'where-will-you-be' questions is to see how well people can think ahead, how planned their career path is, how detailed their thinking is, how rigid or freewheeling they are, etc. What I like about the 5th question in the list is that it's a future-looking question but brought back to the current job opening. I just thought it was an interesting twist to an over-used question.
