In Ireland 'Clark(e)' is often an anglicisation of the Irish surname <i>Ó Cléirigh<i/> (forms like 'O'Cleary' & 'Clery' are also used).

Yes. I cut my penis off to see if a new, more substantial one would grow in its place.

'The Hudsucker Proxy' would be my choice.
'Ghostbusters II' also works well.
'Highlander'

It occurred to me while watching "The Public Eye" the other night that you very rarely hear the Coil-Curl Merger https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhoticity_in_English#Up-gliding_NURSE in the speech of New Yorkers in films set in the early/mid 20th century when, as I understand it, it would have been extremely common.
I'd assume it's due to its having been disparaged and parodied for so long that it would be difficult for modern audiences to take characters speaking like that seriously.
It seems a shame to me because - apart from it being more historically accurate - I quite like it and would enjoy watching a period film featuring characters just naturally talking in that way.
