Spaceballs.

Nailed it!

  1. Coffee Machine

  2. Blow dryer

  3. Flamethrower

  4. Headphones

  5. VCR

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

Arrival?

Not the Arrival with Amy Adams or the one with Charlie Sheen.

  • zone to zone bickering

Airplane

  • Punctured a bloated genre
    Disaster movies get their comeuppance
  • A beloved actress as a helpful, if not cunning, linguist
    Mrs. Cleaver can talk to those nice men
  • Reliance on a palindrome
    Hmmmmm
  • They spent that night dancing, as in a fever dream
    The Saturday Night Fever scene with the knife-wielding girl scouts
  • jello
    I remember seeing it, but not the scene
  • zone to zone bickering
    The red and white zones lead to intercom marital distress

It hits the fan.

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.

Let’s see how this goes:

  • a fugitive from Brazil
  • a negligee
  • bird calls
  • a large donation
  • the third of four pairings
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
a feather-trimmed negligee
bird calls
a one million dollar donation
the third of four pairings
a near fatal case of mistaken identity
an intercostal clavicle
