My sixth sense tells me it may be a Bruce Willis movie.

There was a young Brit who became
An Arab in all but his name;
He said "It is grand
To march through the sand
But where can I find me a dame?"

Psycho
Robbing safes gives a feeling of power -
Who would think it of such a fair flower?
If you’re fleeing the fates
In a motel named “Bates”,
Just be careful when taking a shower.
North by Northwest
Roger Thornhill’s mistaken by spies
For George Kaplan, a figment of lies.
When trapped in the Rockies,
His way out - a shock - is
To slide down the President’s eyes.

He's M and I'm I and you're elle
as we ambulate through the hotel,
and play games of Nim,
and speak without vim,
and advertise Coco Chanel.

What fun, Marion! Thanks for this - but please can we have the film titles with the limericks? They're not all immediately obvious!
The Shawshank Redemption (my favourite film of all time)
Poor Andy is framed, but his head
is screwed on OK! He meets Red,
then escapes through a hole;
Red at last gets parole
and they live rich and happy instead.

Marty’s life in the present day sucks
Until Doc Brown’s capacitor’s flux
Helps him rewrite the past
So his father, at last,
Can have confidence, cool, and big bucks.

I haven't seen The Shawshank Redemption, Jayne. I'll keep an eye out for it.

Shadow of a doubt
There’s something a little bit rotten
About Charlie (portrayed by J. Cotten);
Rich widows keep dying,
Detectives are trying
To catch him ... the rest, I’ve forgotten.
The Third Man
In post-war Vienna, where crime
Is endemic, the crook Harry Lime,
On the run from pursuers,
Is trapped in the sewers -
His death is for real this time.

Jayne, I added my titles.
As Brian said, Chris's are "The Graduate" and "Casablanca".
Though I haven't seen it, I think Shaun's is "Lawrence of Arabia".
Brian's are "Psycho" and "North by Northwest".
Orwn has me stumped.
These are great!
Jayne I loved Shawshank also. Your limerick does it justice. Although shouldn't you say something about what kind of hole he escaped through? Well, maybe not...
