This might be a softball, but: A mother dismisses and belittles her adult son's claims to have seen his father - long presumed dead - dressed as a homeless man. SciFiDownBeat posted:A homeless man becomes a central figure in a community reform movement. Stab in the dark here, but UHF? ...or maybe Dark Knight Rises?

It just seemed like the main plot rather than tertiary  I haven't seen it in a long time and don't remember much other than steve vai being the devil's right hand man. "He's gonna like you."

After falling down a dark hole and losing his family in quick succession, a young man decides to tour the world, angry and alone. He pushes the only people he connects with off a cliff, then decides to head back home. Once there, he struggles with financial issues and bad overseas deliveries of graphite, culminating in him burning his family home down and sabotaging the local railway when that does not work out. The movie ends with him hooking up with a lawyer he met earlier in the film who thought he was kind of a rich jerk.

I forgot about you, thread! Alright, here's my answers. I realize I definitely did not do "tertiary" with some of these. That's on me, gang. A vacation gone awry ends up costing a man his best friend, his job, and his marriage. Things work out great for the locals though, after a manufacturing plant begins production. Total Recall Victim of a hostile takeover enlists a tradesman to get his business equipment back. Pirates of the Caribbean A couple saves their new friend from a bad marriage at the last minute, stops would-be husbands intimidation business. Beetlejuice Trust breaks down amongst colleagues, all because the neighbor's dog got loose. The Thing
