Describe a movie in haiku

(I’ll try this again, just to move it along)

Do you see these scars?
Want to know how I got them?
Why so serious?

Django Unchained?

Little alien
befriends boy in the suburbs
Elliot phone home

E.T.

Ted sweats Elaine frets
Passengers in a panic
Can Otto save them?

It’s from The Dark Knight

(In play)

Ted sweats Elaine frets
Passengers in a panic
Can Otto save them?

Airplane

Clementine’s erased
Joel tries to fight the process
“Meet me in Montauk”

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Unhappy banker
adopts new approach to life;
meets photographer

Three friends enter woods
Make a documentary
Never seen again

Ashley won’t reciprocate
Curtains make nice dress

Gone With the Wind

Wakes up in a strange new land
Must see a wizard

The Wizard of Oz

Superman’s not here
The robot Maria is
But then they burn her

Metropolis

His life filmed from birth
Not knowing his life’s all staged
In the end finds out

The Truman Show

Tragedy or comedy?
Author rewrites end

Is that Stranger Than Fiction?

oft dreams of heroic flight
bittersweet ending

Brazil

Rich guy, Roman times
First becomes a galley slave
And then a sports star.

Ben-Hur

Superheroes stay hidden
until crisis arises;
to Nomanisan!

Man with no country
Lives at JFK airport
Falls for stewardess

The Terminal

refuse to give up the fight
until just one’s left

Hmm… where have I heard that before? :thinking:

So good it bore repeating!
