2. Actual title: It Can't Happen Here

That's the Sinclair Lewis book.

Can't say for sure if "It Could Happen Here" is the title of a book or a movie.

The only one of Sinclair Lewis's later novels to match the power of Main Street, Babbitt, and Arrowsmith, It Can't Happen Here is a cautionary tale about the fragility of democracy, an alarming, eerily timeless look at how fascism could take hold in America.

5. And there is "A Face in the Crowd" about a this. It's a powerful movie.
