Just posting to say that l’m trying, but have absolutely no idea.

Maybe this will help then?
- Country-style glasses
- Large lower-case N edit: or perhaps I mean a large upper case A? Same thing.
- Shaft Returns
- Tolkien
- Minnesota Gophers
- Coffee and pie
- Accelerated English
- A dizzy dame who isn’t around much

You’ve got it, Brickaroo! Brick is 15 years old now, which is long enough to start feeling like it took place in the long-ago time where noir films existed, but they were just called “dramas” then. No one had smart phones and a PI needed heart and guts if he wanted to get to the bottom of it all.
The unusual dialogue from the drug kingpin’s chipper mother, remarking about how she could serve the protagonist and her son country-style apple juice in a country glass. Maybe it’s a regionalism; I don’t know exactly what that means.

The tunnel
and how it appeared, encoded, in the movie and even the screenplay
Richard Roundtree plays the well-named authority figure Trueman.
“You read Tolkien?”
“What?”
“Tolkien, the hobbit books?”
“Yeah.”
“His descriptions of things are really good…he makes you want to be there.”
A coffee shop specializing in “Coffee and pie… oh my!!!”
The affected dapper patter of all the characters in the movie might well be blamed on the unseen Mrs. Kasprzyk, who taught accelerated English.
- A dizzy dame who isn’t around much
The damsel in distress, Emily, as opposed to the femme fatale or the floozy.
Wherein the titular MacGuffin is found
What a great movie! Actually, l only found it because of the last two clues. And then l realized that Trueman could indeed be played by “that guy from Shaft”. l had no idea whatsoever how the other clues would fit, and was stuck for days on those damn “country-style glasses”.
Your next movie:
- Alligator
- Circular Saw
- Eyeball
- Testosterone
- Numbers
With clue 1 stuck in my head I will try Romancing the Stone and/or Happy Gilmore!
Nope! Also, since the limit of my knowledge of reptiles is distinguishing between a turtle and a snake, l have to say it is not completely unlikely the aforementioned gator is in fact a croco. l apologized in advance if it is the case.
That was my first instinct too, though I have no idea why.
Probably because of the circular saw?

Yes, that’s why I guessed it. I haven’t even seen the movie but the saw scene is the thumbnail for the movie on Netflix (or whatever streaming service I saw advertising it).

Deliverance?
I don’t even remember if there was a gator in that movie. Was Burt Reynolds’ vest made out of alligator hide?
No, it is not Deliverance. Reynold wears a black leather jacket in it, but not made of alligator hide, as far as l can tell.
James Bond movie supercut, aka Dr No, The World Is Not Enough To Live And Let Die.
Oh wait, Thunderball is the one with sharks isn’t it?

l’d like to see that supercut ! True that it would fit all the clues!
Thunderball and Live and Let Die both have sharks. The Spy who Loved Me has both sharks and Jaws!
But no, less chest hair in the movie we’re looking for!
