Down Periscope: Up chuck!
Okay, how about:
The Usual Suspects: The movie’s SEVEN YEARS OLD.
(I don’t see how you could not have heard the twist of that movie unless you’ve been living in a damn Skinner box for the past 10 years.)
The Dead Zone: Walken’s ideal for this role.
Memento: Be kind, rewind.
The Importance of Being Earnest – The importance of being Ernest.
Black Hawk Down - Playing counterstrike for two hours
You’re all very good at this, aren’t you? Particular favourites: The Importance (you clever bastard), “Be kind, rewind”, and “Heroin addict”.
rastahomie, alas your Willy Wonka entry is disqualified (six words).
[aside]rexnervous - Swimming… is one of my top 5 movies ever. Not many people have heard of it. Have you seen the sequel Monster in a Box?[/aside]
Apocalypse Now: Kurtz is nuts. The horror.
Full Metal Jacket: This sucks. | This really sucks.
Blade Runner: Deckard’s a replicant. Or not.
Fight Club: Fighting fills empty man
The Matrix: Soylent Green is people!, or Read The Invisibles instead
Edward Scissorhands: Love cuts like a knife
My Beautiful Laundrette: Punk and Pakistani partner
Hombre: Save your lives? Why, man?
Life of Brian: Messiah? No. Very naughty boy.
Titanic: The era’s wonder. Oops! Garbage.
Chicken run: The Great Escape with chickens.
I believe these are the exact words Aardman Animations used to sell the idea to some attention-deficient big-shot Hollywood financiers. I’m not kidding.
** Jesus Christ Superstar ** The Messiah rocks.
** Evita ** She’s the New World Madonna (actually lyric in the show’s song “The Rainbow Tour” written in 1975 by Tim Rice. Changed in the movie)
Can I amend one of those, Annie?

Well, they let me out of the house occasionally but I’ve never seen it, and until I was grading 10th graders “recommend a book or movie” essay questions this summer, I hadn’t had it spoiled for me, either. It’s just one movie on a list of a dozen or so I’ll never bother to see now because every single plot point was decribed. That one didn’t bother me so much as A Beautiful Mind which I was planning to rent that week. :smack:
elfkin477, that information is secondary to the plot and has been in the TV previews (unless you’re being ironic).
Mods - this thread has caused some controversy re. spoliers, so I wonder if you would mind adding “spoilers” to the thread title.
The Exorcist Green puke turns heads.
The Godfather (Trilogy) It’s a family affair.
The Sound of Music The sound of Julie Andrews.
Wizard of Oz Dorothy goes head over heels.
The Graduate Anne Bancroft dusting Hoffman.
Midnight Cowboy A hustler, not a rustler.
Deep Blue Sea - Jaws on steroids.
