People considered for the lead role in this blockbuster include Jeff Bridges, Nick Nolte, Steve Martin, Bill Murray, Chevy Chase, Tim Matheson, Nick Mancuso, Peter Coyote, Tom Selleck, and Jack Nicholson.
Almost everyone involved during the shooting of the film got food poisoning, except the director, who ate Spaghetti-Os.
Pretty much everyone except Spielberg had the runs. Food poisoning was suspected, since Spielberg was the only one eating his own food. Maybe he just didn't drink the water. Anyway, you're up.
This movie was originally crafted to introduce a new TV show. The movie ws released late, though, and the TV show started in January, rather than September, so the movie wound up being, essentially, one long episode of the show.

Human without the bean
Why didn't you say that 2 days ago Mr. Wolf? Your right Rottie, They are pretty good. Makes it tough on me to get my 2 cents in.
Human without the bean
I was way off going with "The Terminal", except that it didn't have any articles of clothing in the title. I assume WordWolf is correct, but I'm not familiar with it. But that's not unusual.

Stallone. Also well-known for reprising his Rocky role. I can't see him in Eddie Murphy's role in BHC, though... George

Hm.
Food poisoning, or dysentery?

It wasn't clear. Let's just say, abdominal distress.

I know I should know this one.
If it was dysentery, then it was "Raiders of the Lost Ark."

There's 2 correct answers, and I will accept either.
"Cut the cloth, tread on the fat
Leave the bones on the bedroom mat
Pour the milk on the pantry floor
Splash the wine on every door!
Dump the crocks in a boiling bowl
Pound them up with a thumping pole
When you're finished if they are whole
Send them down the hall to roll!"

Smash the bottles and burn the corks

Cheery little poem (song?).
Don't recognize it at all.

Oddly enough, both versions left out the last line
"So, carefully, carefully with the plates!"

CORRECTION:
There's 2 correct answers-
one from 1977, the other from 2012
-and I will accept either.
The 1977 version included Orson Bean,
Hans Conried, Otto Preminger, Brother Theodore,
Don Messick, and Thurl Ravenscroft.
The 2012 version included Benedict Cumberbatch,
Martin Freeman, and Christopher Lee.

That helps a little, though I don't know who Brother Theodore, Don Messick, Thurl Ravenscroft, Benedict Cumberbatch, or Martin Freeman are.

You know who Don Messick and Thurl Ravenscroft are. And if you remember where you
know either from, the format for the first one is obvious- and really limits
the scope of the answers.
Benedict Cumberbatch is Sherlock Holmes in "Sherlock."
(And in ST:Into Darkness, he had a major role.)
Martin Freeman is Dr John Watson in "Sherlock."
Shame on you for missing such a fine show.
The 2012 movie, in particular, is well-known. And you probably saw its sequel.

I watch "Elementary" regularly, but I have not seen "Sherlock." And I feel no less a man because of it. :)
So, the newer film also has a sequel?

It has a sequel. Technically, it will have 2 sequels.
And some people might consider the number to be 5 sequels,
but that's really a matter of interpretation.
I'm sure Christopher Lee loves the regular work, however.
Fans of the books, naturally, complain about each and every one...

"The Hobbitt"?

It is "the Hobbit". The 1977 one was animated, which is why it had Don Messick
and Thurl Ravenscroft in it.
Bilbo Baggins is at home, minding his own business, when he suddenly finds himself
hosting a dozen dwarves for dinner. They give him a scare when he's particular about
keeping the dishes safe, and they sing that song while pretending to be careless with them.
(For the record, mentioning Orson Bean with Otto Preminger would have made me think
of the animated movie.)

The movie starred almost all of the TV show cast, with one significant replacement.

The movie aired in 1966.

Ok, that narrows the field a lot, and I have a chance, now.
(Slim, but I have one.)
"Star Trek The Original Series?"
"The Brady Bunch"?

The first Star Trek movie aired a decade AFTER the show.
I don't remember a Brady Bunch movie (except some made-for-TV things).
It's hard to do much more without being VERY obvious.
One actor refused to shave his mustache, so he wore makeup over it.

Wow!
I always thought that movie was meant to cash in on the show!
I heard that somewhere....apparently incorrectly.....
