Off the couch, awaiting confirmation, but I'm pretty sure.

Thanks for the puzzle, it was very well done even though it stumped me for a few days.

Update: confirmed

Off the couch! Was confused for a moment and sent in a wrong answer, then saw the light and submitted the right one. Fun! This movie is on my watch list.

I get a lot of ideas for metas based on inelegance of my own devising... or at least from rabbits I've chased and mechanisms I've imagined.

Nudge #3:

You're looking for a seven-letter word which is the second word of the movie. Look for similar patterns in 7 symmetrically-placed Across entries.

I am off the couch but waiting the blessing of the gurus who created this meta. Nudges convinced me that I have the answer.
