Game: Name that film without naming it

Bored?

Ironically, I'm too tired to figure out either the second or third. But before looking at your titles, the first movie that popped into my mind to try with was the first movie that popped into yours.

Specific man who agrees to take on the responsibility of raising a child should both parents pass

Goose-like water fowl liquid food

The middle name of someone whose first name is Wolfgang and last name is Mozart

Damnit! The fourth movie I tried to do this for is your second movie! WTF?!

Specific typical possible culprits

People who are looking to steal and or loot from a specific chest affording protection to its contents that has not been found

Wooing a specific rock (why I thought of this movie I honestly have no idea)

Living non-plant, non-fungus, non-bacteria domicile

The true first name of someone nicknamed Larry who comes from a famous peninsula in the Middle East

100% of the males who are owned by the leader of the U.S. Executive Branch

Specific intolerable non-heavyness owned by existing

Really?! -- you got one of them... mine were done very tired and are VERY easy. I mean, some of those are easier than easy. All are. The hardest one should be the last, only because I bet a couple of people on the board haven't seen it. But, let me give a tiny hint -- assuming you are familiar with wine+art's taste in actors, movies and women, it would be a VERY safe bet that he HAS seen this movie.

It's more like... too long to think about, lol

Loved that movie. Under-rated, like "Much like something that happened long ago in a land named after one of my countrymen"

The subject of this thread remind me of the guessing game of naming a movie based on a synopsis of the plot- like:

"Boy grows up working in a family business that is threatened by internal squabbles. He goes overseas to escape the pressure, but eventually comes back and makes a few deft moves that devastate the competition and pulls the family together again."

Mentioned above.

Now, for some reason I don't get the guy named Larry. Wait, I think I do.

Think title. In the plot, obviously it is the character's last name.

I liked your synopsis as well.

I think I have started it on the wrong foot with my 3am instruction. My bad. Let's try to keep the name under 5-7 words, it should draw more interest that way.

Worst thread ever....either that or I'm not clever. Maybe both.

I either agree with you completely, or have no idea what movie you are talking about.

I think I figured out a couple...
Specific man who agrees to take on the responsibility of raising a child should both parents pass
The Godfather

Specific intolerable non-heavyness owned by existing
The Unbearable Lightness of Being

Proximity to a long strip of sand.

Proximity to means near, not on or at. indeed.

If On the Beach is what mneeley meant, it's a flawed clue.

It may be a flawed clue, but it was very easy to see his meaning...well, for most of us.

Wouldn't "of myspace progeny" been just a little tricker of a clue for The Social Network?

There was a movie titled "Happy with the Hummer"???

IB, sure it's easier to guess. But don't you find it funny if the movie had just been called that instead?

Well Citizen Kane was easy enough, but I'm stumped by the others.

Okay here's a few for you

Blown Away
0x00FF00 1.69Km
Large Oral Cavity
The White House
Blondie Live In Texas

I thought Pulp Fiction was obvious enough, but I'm just taking a shot in the dark on the other.

Is it time to post all answers yet?

OK, Dave,
The first four are easy enough, but all I can think of for the last is Dirty Harry.
