Verbs in possession and indirect object pronouns

Ok, I'm struggling with this. Just when I thought I had it, I was slapped in the face with a crap grade on my assignment.

as you can see, I got 2 right (encantar on #1 & faltar on #4)
someone please point me the right direction here.

  1. A Pedro y Felipe les encantan (encantar) las películas de acción, pero a Armando (fascinar) las películas de horror.
  2. Sé que a ti no (gustar) leer y que los libros (aburrir).
  3. A mí (fascinar) los museos, pero sé que a tus amigos no (interesar).
  4. A Patricio no (quedar) bien sus zapatos de tenis, pero le falta (faltar) dinero para ir de compras.
  5. (interesar) despertarnos a tiempo para las clases, pero a Luisa (molestar) el despertador.

Es así
Think of it like that

A Pedro y Felipe les encantan las películas de acción, pero a Armando le fascinan las películas de horror.

The action movies enchant them (Pedro y Felipe), but horror movies fascinate him (Armando)

The movies are doing the enchanting / fascinating TO the people
