"What does God need with a starship?" really is a giveaway, like "I know every corner of this ship like the back of my hand." This was "Star Trek 5: the Final Frontier." I'm chagrined to say I paid money to see it at the movie theater when it came out.

Can we get another clue?

Bravo! That's it. Your turn.

"I tied my own shoes once. It is a highly-overrated experience."

AFAIK, he was only homeless in 1 movie. How about the name of an Elvis movie referencing New Orleans in any way?

A radio shock-jock, suicidally despondent because of a terrible mistake he made, finds redemption in helping a deranged homeless man who seeks the Holy Grail- who was an unwitting victim of that same mistake. That man turns his own life around, and works at a New Orleans nightclub, first as a busboy then as a singer. Stars Jeff Bridges as the former radio shock-jock, and ELVIS PRESLEY as the singer. Robin Williams is in there somewhere.

An office worker steals from her employer, goes on the run, trades in her car for another, then picks the worst possible hotel to stop for the night. That description is technically accurate for both versions of this movie.

Star Wars (Episode 4:A New Hope)

Might think of non-comedies with Robin Williams as a homeless guy- that's how I remember the first movie. That should give you the beginning of the second, and that's how I remember the name of the Elvis film. TCM helps quite a bit with knowing there is such a movie.

No. A better-known movie, this has been a remake. And this round, I came up with a real challenge.

It IS Blues Traveler. You've probably misheard "THE HOOK" as "the luck." But you have the song. "The hook brings you down."

An office worker steals from her employer, goes on the run, trades in her car for another, then picks the worst possible spot to stop during her flight. (By "flight", I don't mean it in the aerial sense, I mean it in the technical sense of fleeing. I couldn't find a different word to use there that was still correct.)

"There is something amiss. I am being insincere. In fact I don't mean any of this. Still my confession draws you near. To confuse the issue I refer To familiar heroes from long ago.

They are in the right order. The second movie is not as "recent" as the first movie. A radio shock-jock, suicidally despondent because of a terrible mistake he made, finds redemption in helping a deranged homeless man who was an unwitting victim of that mistake. That man turns his own life around, and works at a nightclub, first as a busboy then as a singer. Stars Jeff Bridges as the former radio shock-jock, and the singer was an obvious casting choice who was hired before he left the building. (Could you believe they wanted Robin Williams for the role instead?)

If anyone has anything, feel free to jump in. I'll come up with something eventually.

E.T.?

Had me completely thrown until I gave it some thought. "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince of Egypt."

I was going to. George gets it for closest correct answer to "Matrix Reloaded."

Indeed. The 70s had some shows I've missed since then. I wonder if some will turn up online.
