One fella came close. Went by the name of Homah...
In Ireland 'Clark(e)' is often an anglicisation of the Irish surname <i>Ó Cléirigh<i/> (forms like 'O'Cleary' & 'Clery' are also used).

Yes. I cut my penis off to see if a new, more substantial one would grow in its place.

'The Hudsucker Proxy' would be my choice.
'Ghostbusters II' also works well.
'Highlander'
The film sequels were crap.
The TV series seems well regarded but I've never seen it.
Diabetes
Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid
The People Under the Stairs
It occurred to me while watching "The Public Eye" the other night that you very rarely hear the Coil-Curl Merger https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhoticity_in_English#Up-gliding_NURSE in the speech of New Yorkers in films set in the early/mid 20th century when, as I understand it, it would have been extremely common.
I'd assume it's due to its having been disparaged and parodied for so long that it would be difficult for modern audiences to take characters speaking like that seriously.
It seems a shame to me because - apart from it being more historically accurate - I quite like it and would enjoy watching a period film featuring characters just naturally talking in that way.
Predator 2
French Connection II & The Day of the Jackal ('73).
The tone, setting and era of both films is similar, one always puts me in the mood for the other.
Gordon Cole - Twin Peaks, played by David Lynch himself.
He should have stayed behind the camera. Not only is he a poor actor, his obnoxious character, constantly shouting in that annoying nasal voice, was just insufferable. It's a pity 'Bob' didn't do away with the prick early on.

French Connection II
Coogan's Bluff
Red Heat
Should a turtle wear a man-neck?
The Ukulele *shudder*
'The Name of the Rose' - Sean Connery as William de Baskerville investigating more mysteries in 14th century Europe.
I agree, the final part lets it down.
Wouldn't the Armstrongs have had police protection while Mackey was still at large? That he wouldn't have been particularly pleased with Davey at that time and might well, you know, seek revenge or something must have been fairly obvious.
Would they have even gone back to their own home that night at all? - It would surely have been more prudent for the police to keep them in a secure location until Mackey was caught.
Where was Mackey's patrol car (which the police were presumably very eager to locate) while he was hiding in the Armstrong's attic?
It had to have been close by considering that he, apparently, managed to carry two unconscious youths (one of them on the hefty side) out to it one after the other, completely unobserved by anyone in a neighbourhood which must have had at least some police presence, morbidly curious onlookers, neighbours too shocked to sleep, etc, about the place.
