    I think @protist was close with the Night of the Lepus suggestion, but I think a different movie about a bunch of rabbits may actually be more thematically fitting.

    Watership Down

    A small group of people/rabbits breaking off from a very large group. Forewarning bad things happening in the larger group that they are fleeing. Attempting to invite others to join them along the way to increase their numbers to a sustainable level. Conflict with another group of domineering authoritarians.

    It's all there.

    Napoleon Dynamite, or something equally β€œshort breath of laughter” funny and completely nonsensical.

    I thought Pushing Tin was the aircraft controllers movie.

    It's about Air Traffic Control, but I never heard it quoted to the degree that Airplane! was. Although that "Gimme a plane, I've got a hole" line got a lot of play. Die Hard 2 was quoted some too, "Rack 'em, stack 'em, and pack 'em!". But Airplane!?

    I know people who speak jive.

    There is a Canadian movie called "Beans", but it's a drama...

    Based on true events, Tracey Deer's debut feature chronicles the 78-day standoff between two Mohawk communities and government forces in 1990 Quebec.

    And of course there's the documentary about Lemmy Kilmister that is called - lo and behold: "Lemmy"

    Night of the Lepus

    Another option:

    Tommy

    (Yes, this is Ann Margaret in a pool of baked beans, about to get hit with chocolate syrup)

    What movie is this from? I'm thinking Mad Men, but that's just a guess.

    Thanks.

    Lemmings

    Is there a film called Lemmings? Seems a safe bet there is one.

    Is there a movie about Marxist nerds yelling at libs? I'd watch it if so

    I'll nominate an underdog: Alphaville.

    Basically unknown, jerks you back and forth between genres, simultaneously art house and amateur, and the main character is named Lemmy Caution. Sure he's a government agent, but he's the good guy out to destroy the mind control computer on a distant planet by pitting daughter against father.

    Edit: and I forgot to mention it's in French.

    I'm not sure, but probably not "Red Dawn"

  • Given the general social aptitude of this site I'd say The Perks of Being a Wallflower

    I think Mallrats is very in this vein - just more PG than Clerks.

    Hundreds of Beavers (2022). Dunno why. It just feels right.
