June 20th, Birthday of the Stars

This puzzles was originally posted on the NY Times games forum

Tomorrow, two-well known actors have birthdays; one deceased, the other still alive. Below is a list of their movies, ten each, in a Cryptolist format. Two different substitution codes are used, one for the movies of UPPER CROSS (one of the actor's, who's name has been encoded in his own code), and PIZZA INDOOR (the other actor, who also has been encoded in his own code.)

The twenty movies are jumbled up, and presented in no particular order. As a help, UPPER CROSS might have delivered quite a few upper crosses in movie #1, and PIZZA INDOOR did indeed serve pizza indoors in the movie listed at #8.

The movies of UPPER CROSS and PIZZA INDOOR
