Or, for that matter, When Harry and the Hendersons Met Sally.

I don't usually link to an "it's been done already!" thread, but this was one of my very favorites.

Hee! Thanks Eve, I was just thinking about that thread the other day.

I'm gonna make a rule, then. The linked titles have to be exact. (Of Mice and Matrix wouldn't count, for example. Yes I know, When Harry and the Hendersons Met Sally breaks the rule. Rule 2 -- no more rule breaking.)

Well hell. I like Ethelrist's stuff. Rule 3 -- there are no rules.

I probably posted this in Eve's thread, but my perpetual favorite is

Malcolm X Men: Denzel Washington stars as a militant mutant separatist. With Ian McKellen as Nation of Mislam leader Elijah Magneto.

Taking something from that old thread and going one step further, how about Godfather of the Bride of Frankenstein? Steve Martin stars as a Mafia don who reanimates the dead - on this, the day of his daughter's wedding.

By the way, The Sunshine Boys from Brazil is great. The "enter!" bit would have been funnier in German.

In the music world, I'm still waiting for Boy George Micheal Jackson's next album.

Oh, I missed something. The Southern murder the reincarnated jazz musician has to solve may be the work of an evil force haunting Atlanta. And he has a chainsaw for a hand.
