The names are those of film actors and actresses.
Each actor is paired with an actress, according to a film they
both starred in, and their names encrypted with a simple substitution
cipher based on the name of the film as a keyword.
Example
For the 1991 film, The Silence of the Lambs, repeated letters are
removed from the film title, giving:
THESILNCOFAMB
The missing letters are then added, giving:
THESILNCOFAMBDGJKPQRUVWXYZ
This is then rotated to give the ciphertext alphabet:
RUVWXYZTHESILNCOFAMBDGJKPQ
This is used as the ciphertext alphabet to encrypt Anthony Hopkins
and Jodie Foster:
| Plain: |
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ |
| Cipher: |
RUVWXYZTHESILNCOFAMBDGJKPQ |
| ANTHONY HOPKINS |
|
JODIE FOSTER |

The complete solution is shown below, with the films in chronological
order. And the hidden quotation? Reading diagonally down from the
top left corner, we find "Here's looking at you, kid", just one
of Humphrey Bogart's memorable lines from Casablanca.
And if you managed all that? Congratulations. Here's looking at
you!
