"your local video store", lol

It's called "I Can't Breathe". Knock yourself out: https://www.youtube.com/wat…

I believe Mark Hamill did two Random Roles, not sure who else.

Both of these were covered in a 2008 Random Roles, as were Disturbia, St. Elsewhere, Dancer in the Dark, The Green Mile, etc.: http://www.avclub.com/artic…

I know art is subjective, but this is one of those "asshole test" movies. If someone doesn't like Roman Holiday, they are an asshole.

"Aniki, man, I love you, man."

Since you included Killing Me Softly, let's have a tribute to more failed English language films from foreign directors:

Did you tell him, "Amity Island"?

What I like about that movie is that Dreyfuss' character ages from 30 to 60 and Dreyfuss, who was 46-47 at the time, convinces completely at both ages. (The makeup helps, but old person and young person makeup can often totally fail.)

Did the montage include Angelina Jolie in A Mighty Heart?

Steven Bauer's Cuban.

Touch of Evil was included in the montage. But I could list a good half dozen Alfred Molina (half Italian, half Spanish - we're counting Spanish as white, right?) performances.

Ben Kingsley is half Indian.

And then they had F. Murray Abraham, who is Arab-American, playing a Cuban! It's like full circle.

To be fair, Anthony Quinn was Mexican, even if his "Arab" hook nose was pure Hollywood.

Bruce Springsteen also wrote "Fire" with Elvis in mind, but Presley died before receiving Springsteen's demo. So the Pointer Sisters took it.

My favorite example of a song originally written for someone else is "Total Eclipse of the Heart", written for Meat Loaf. The songwriter denies this, but it's such a Meat Loaf song.

No, it's still just a means for indie filmmakers who didn't get into Sundance to come to Park City and try to network.

While they're in each other's arms…

I'll tell you this much: I know someone who worked on The Happening in a major role (behind the scenes, not an actor). Both he and Shyamalan totally took the whole thing quite seriously. And both were legitimately surprised and crushed that audiences found the movie to be such a howler.
