I don't know "the Greatest Showman" by its English title. In fact, I barely know of it. (Mrs Wolf saw it, I think.) I keep thinking that Hugh Jackman was an odd choice for a musical, but it seemed to work for "LES MISERABLES." (aka "the wretched of the earth.")

Charlie didn't want to go to Vegas or Fort Lauderdale, which is what I would do. He didn't go to Paris or Amsterdam. Sounds fun. He decided to spend his summer, building sustainable housing for the poor."

Ant-Man, inside the Iron Man armor, doing damage, and chatting with Stark via radio. Stark & Friday flushed him out with fire-retardant foam. Gave me flashbacks to the Iron Man issue where Ant-Man entered the armor to save Iron Man. (IM had knocked out the Hulk by overloading the armor, and fused the mobility network. Ant-Man entered the armor to trigger the release so IM could breathe regular air again and get out of the armor. Ant-Man ran afoul of the flame-retardant foam in one place, and needed to access it in another to cool down an overload. I'm tempted to take it out and read it again, except I have it 1/2 memorized.

I'm guessing that WW won't mind my adding a clue: the movie starred Danny Kaye. George

Once again, you posted a quote from a movie, where you could have posted 1/2 the script without me getting it, except for the one quote you posted. This was from early on in "Red Dawn."

Not a superhero movie.
"Hyperbole isn't the worst crime. Men suffer more from imagining too little than too much."
"You're even smaller than I imagined!"
"Well you're not exactly reaching the top shelf yourself, sweetheart."
"It is hard to understand wealth and privilege when you're born to it. "
"Nothing draws a crowd quite like a crowd."
"You are the American. I believe I might have heard of you."
"Oh well, If you've heard of me all the way over here, I must have been doing something right."
"That, or something very wrong."
"In the world of publicity there is hardly any difference."
I am putting together a show, and I need a star."
"You want people to laugh at me."
"Well they're laughing anyway, kid, so you might as well get paid."
"Hey sweetie, who's that young man over there?"
"Oh that's Phillip Carlyle. A bit of a scandal, they say. His last play was a hit in London."
"Play? Pay good money to watch people stand around and talk for two hours, and they call ME a conman?

And since there's no question, I'll move to the next movie Hint: same lead actor:
"He's like the son I might have known if God had granted me a son."
...
"Charge 'em for the lice, extra for the mice, two percent for looking in the mirror... twice..."
...
"For the wretched of the earth, there is a flame that never dies
Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise."

Les Miserables was very well acted and very horribly sung. A big let down.
