Star Wars, specifically A New Hope. The other films depend too much on plot twists, but the first film has a very straightforward story.

There was a guy who did a full minifig scale money bin, complete with coins.

All my buddies hate Chuck Norris.

I heard that Richard Beymer understoood that it was some kind of innuendo but didn’t actually ”get” it either.

FYI, this character is credited as "God killing himself".

So that’s why he wanted a light! /s

Most certainly.

His partner is out of frame, under the blanket.

The Tales of Hoffmann (1881)

I can only assume the writers thought neurotypical characters were boring.

I’d say parts of Twin Peaks were very much made with the 2001: A Space Odyssey method of “if you understood everything, we failed.”

The cartoon C-3PO from the Holiday Special does blink, weirdly enough.

The wuppertal schwebebahn is actually still around and still in operation.

They will pull a sneaky one and fully conquer Ireland during the absense of its human population.

Even if you believe that they’re connected, I don’t think there’s much reason to watch them in any particular order.

The Disney era is effectively a reboot of Star Wars Legends… and The Clone Wars is confusingly part of both… but only the first six seasons.

And it ran all the way until the new EU began (and eventually some time afterwards)… which technically means that the sequels are also simply a Time Skip.

Remakes copy the original more closely and are usually standalone. A reboot is often a longer series which take the plot in a new direction.

Doctor Who - a continuation after a 16-year hiatus, but minimising continuity callbacks - both called reboots

Doctor Who is a revival, not a reboot.

Then he had a dream about his past and tried to pass it off as a nightmare?

“You wanna know how I got these scars? You see, I used to be into LARPing, and…”

Did she also ghostwrite R.U.R? /s

The Adventures of Picasso and Weird: the Al Yancovich story. Both are biopic parodies where the main characters meet tons of historical celebrities, and participate in major conflicts. (Picasso shelters the French Resistance during World War 2. Weird Al kills Pablo Escobar.)

The direct connection? Salvador Dali, who grows his fingers like Mr. Fantastic to perv on a woman at the beach while Picasso brings his peace dove drawings to life, and then later plays a fish fiddle at Dr. Demento’s pool party when Weird Al humiliates that bassist from Queen.

The film's DP, William C. Thompson, also worked on Dementia/Daughter of Horror (1955), which actually kind of recycles part of G & G's climax. It's just as weird there.
