Well whaddya know! Sir Kenneth later "re-upped" for the sequel, as I originally posted in 2012:
HELL INTO BAGHDAD (2005) Directed by Roger Donaldson.

Hugh Grant; Daniel Craig; Bradley Walsh; Simon Pegg; and Kenneth Branagh as "Sergeant Noakes." Remake of the 1973 classic, "Hell into Belfast."
YOUNG EZRA (2018) Directed by Ang Lee. Tagline: His greatest poem was falling in love." Sensitive and vibrant portrayal of genius poet/editor Ezra Pound (Matthew McConaughey) and his early years shattering the conservative artistic landscape in Paris.

The film's workng title was "Blue Harvest", because Ang Lee didn't want the studio to know he was making a film about a writer, whch would not only have scared away Chinese and Russian audiences, but also the American audience, such was their fear of literacy, thinking, and feeling anything beyond that Star Wars thrill of yet another Death Star exploding.
LIMITLESS UNDYING LOVE (2018) Directed by Martin Scorsese. Moving chronicle of ex-Beatle John Lennon (Matthew McConaughey) and his infamous 1974 "Lost Weekend" in Los Angeles with Yoko Ono-approved concubine May Pang (Lucy Liu) and tumultuous Pussy Cats recording sessions with Harry Nilsson (Tom Hardy).

THE PACK OF CIGARETTES VORTEX (1997) Direcetd by Spike Jonze. In the New Mexico desert, a physicist (Albert Brooks) accidentally locates the inter-dimensional doorway leading to a world inhabited by walk-out fathers and their much-younger live-in girlfriends--in other words, paradise. Jeff Goldblum; Heather Graham; Jim Belushi; Alan King; and Meena Suvari as "Betty."
Some topics here stick to the olde FSM messageboard wall the way Felix Unger's (Jack Lemmon) plate of linguine did after being sent aloft by Oscar Madison (Walter Matthau) in 1968. It appears that this thread is one of them. (THANK GOD)
The Fivehouse thread anniversary is not far behind. (Started in the year 2007 as well)
Anz, I just received those Fivehouse article clippings you sent from People and Us magazines, so thanks. I appreciated the inclusion of the rather obscure 1980 Lonsdale interview in The Trentonian, in which he eviscerates Alan Fivehouse: Scotland Yard's Finest, which I suppose was the Never Say Never of Fivehouse films, even if Theodore Bikel didn't play Fivehouse before Lonsdale did.
In fact, it's odd to think that anyone but Michael Lonsdale has played Alan Fivehouse.
AQUAMAN: THE MOVIE (1979) Directed by Michael Cimino. The King of Atlantis (Nick Nolte) must preserve his throne by defeating a villainous rival (Richard Jordan) while at the same time courting his future queen (Cheryl Ladd) and co-founding the Justice League of America. Brian Blessed; Derek Jacobi; Angela Lansbury; Oliver Reed; Sarah Miles, and Starring Steve McQueen as "Thomas Curry." Special Appearance by Christopher Reeve as "Superman." Music Score by Laurence Rosenthal.
As police lieutenant Mason James (Severn Darden) once said, "For a man to get away with murder, he must become the 'b' in subtlety."
I saw that on Netflix, and as is my habit when everyone else is still asleep I had the sound low and read the dialogue on the bottom of th screen. Although he said exactly what you quote, the words below unfortunately read "For a man to get away with murder, he must become the 'b' in subtitles" - which kinda spoiled it.
GOD ONLY KNOWS (2009) An adopted Jewish Police Detective (Will Smith) is challenged with a crisis of faith, as he is not permitted by his community to hunt for the serial killer who preys upon his victims on the Sabbath. Mandy Patinkin, Rachel Weisz, Jeffrey Tambor, Lili Taylor, Steven Hill, Frank Langella, and Jeff Bridges as "Mitch"

In an interesting stretch, imagine Robert Conrad having a short cameo as Smith's elderly adoptive father.
WATERMELON PIE (1988) Directed by Edward Zwick. Tagline: "All's well after a delicious slice of mama's watermelon pie." When their youngest daughter (Martha Plimpton) decides to attend a northern university, her eccentric but loving Southern family must reflect on their heritage and changing times---with the comforting help of an age-old family recipe.
