Also, “inspector” put me in mind of _The Pink Panther_, not Dirty Harry. ---

With the OP’s permission, I’ve compiled a master list of what has been played and guessed so far. SIP means “still in play,” and a U following a title means that the guess is unconfirmed. The first SIP clue is 34. Also, note the 46a & 47a due to an error (mine), or possibly cross-posting. 1 arena Gladiator 2 chariot Ben-Hur 3 chocolates Forrest Gump 4 emerald The Wizard of Oz 5 force Star Wars 6 iceberg Titanic 7 inconceivable The Princess Bride 8 jury 12 Angry Men 9 lobotomy One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest 10 mafia The Godfather 11 monolith 2001 12 petals It’s a Wonderful Life 13 plastics The Graduate 14 pornstar Boogie Nights 15 redrum The Shining 16 rosebud Citizen Kane 17 royale Pulp Fiction 18 schwing Wayne’s World 19 shark Jaws 20 shower Psycho 21 strawberries Fearless 22 supercalifragalisticexpealidocious Mary Poppins 23 toga Animal House 24 unobtanium Avatar 25 velociraptor Jurassic Park 26 boulder Raiders of the Lost Ark 27 disco Saturday Night Fever 28 umbrella Singin’ in the Rain 29 motorcycles Easy Rider 30 piano Casablanca 31 Klan Birth of a Nation 32 transformation Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde 33 machinenmentsch Metropolis 34 - Peanut-butter SIP 35 SPEAKER SIP 36 Prom Carrie 37 Mister In the Heat of the Night 38 Alamo Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure U 39 eleven SIP 40 inspector The Pink Panther/Dirty Harry U 41 cubicle SIP 42 liger Napolean Dynamite 43 pillows SIP 44 pod Invasion of the Body Snatchers 45 replicant Blade Runner 46. 42 Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy 47. 76 The Music Man 46a lightning SIP 47a Limehouse SIP 48 fingerspelling SIP 49 annex SIP 50 leopard Bringing up Baby 51. asp Cleopatra U 52.

Confirming that 51 through 53 are correct, except 52. is “Rain Man” and not “Rainman”. ---

34 Peanut-butter One Way 35 SPEAKER Dave 39 eleven The Professional 41 cubicle He Was a Quiet Man 43 pillows Along Came Polly These are sort of WAGs, because I can think of more than one answer for most of these, so I tried to think of what was most likely to have been widely seen, but I don’t always have a really good perspective on that. The other SIP clues are mine. ---

Your guess for 35 SPEAKER is wrong. Hint: The relevant scene is at the beginning of the film. ---
