Wow. Would never have guessed that in a million years and I have seen that movie a lot.
Also, gah, Roan Inish is in my queue, so I might have got it if it had been a couple weeks from now. But I have to register a protest about the UK constituent clue. Ireland was definitely not in the UK in 1946.

Ack. Sloppy clueing on my part, sorry!
I really hope you enjoy the movie!
Fun clues, and I smiled when I saw your screen captures.
Here’s the next one:
- Punctured a bloated genre
- A beloved actress as a helpful, if not cunning, linguist
- Reliance on a palindrome
- They spent that night dancing, as in a fever dream
- jello
Not the Arrival with Amy Adams or the one with Charlie Sheen.

Correct!
- Punctured a bloated genre
Disaster movies get their comeuppance
Exactly!
- A beloved actress as a helpful, if not cunning, linguist
Mrs. Cleaver can talk to those nice men
Precisely! Barbara Billingsley reportedly spoke in dialect for weeks before shooting to get it as accurately as she could.
- Reliance on a palindrome
Hmmmmm
This would be the autopilot. Otto.
- They spent that night dancing, as in a fever dream
The Saturday Night Fever scene with the knife-wielding girl scouts
Excellent!
- jello
I remember seeing it, but not the scene
There was some turbulence that set the jello a-jiggling. (I hope that wasn’t a sight gag from Airplane 2: The Sequel.)
- zone to zone bickering
The red and white zones lead to intercom marital distress
Without a doubt!
You guessed it, @TommyTutone. Surely you’re ready for the next challenge.
a fugitive from Brazil
a feather-trimmed negligee
bird calls
a one million dollar donation
the third of four pairings
a near fatal case of mistaken identity
Well - don’t think its The Boys From Brazil.
…
so I’m just gonna guess Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, because my gut tells me to.
I love both of those movies, but it is neither.

I have an idea on what the first clue might be a clever reference for, but can’t fit the rest to a movie.

Actually screw it, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen this particular one so can’t remember the details , but let’s go with Pirates of the Caribbean At Worlds End
Probably too on the nose, but Brazil?
Nothing correct yet, maybe this will help
a feline fugitive from Brazil

bird calls
