The Name Of The Rose
The Aristocats
Raising Arizona
O Brother Where Art Thou
and Silence Of The Lambs
I think you have enough on your plate without me adding to it, Montfort, I just wasn’t aware that Terry Gilliam had made a sequel to 12 Monkeys. And from the spelling of it, either Davy Jones has a cameo or Mike Nesmith produced. 
Hej! This is different from the one you had me do on the phone. But, min älskling, here goes:
A boy, Timmy, goes away for summer camp and while he’s gone, his favourite toy and dog are kidnapped. When he returns, Timmy goes on a strange voyage through temptation to meet Tyler Durden, the thief. Tyler dares Timmy to punch him as hard as he can, and when Timmy does, Tyler leads Timmy to a strange orgy at a mansion. There, he finds his toy and his dog being used like toys and dogs shouldn’t be used.
A young genius goes to college in Washington (hmm, it’s the story of my life so far) and enters a fraternity. There, he falls in love with a girl who’s not the gorgeous girl he thinks she is. She’s not a girl at all, she’s an android.
I’ve already done one with Bridge on the River Kwai, so I’ll use the others:
A comic book hero is sent back in time to figure out how a poor coal miner’s son was able to join NASA’s rocketry group. But, through a screw-up in the time machine, he’s sent to the west in the 1910s, not West Virginia in the 1950s. He falls in love with his brother’s girlfriend, and finds out that his puppetmaster is evil.
Ooh, I like this one.
A young comedian dresses in drag to impress the old woman he meets at a holocaust-era concentration camp. Madness ensues as his bicycle is stolen, leading him and the old woman across the U.S. and Europe in pursuit of it.
(Yes, I did get the idea from the City Paper.)
Oo! Oo! Can I do one?
**The Name Of The Rose
The Aristocats
Raising Arizona
O Brother Where Art Thou
and Silence Of The Lambs **
Psychopath Hannibal Lector learns that his wife is going to re-marry, so he conceives a plan to break out of prison with his two wacky companions. Along the way, they kidnap a child from the local furniture tycoon and end up hiding in a monastary. After several murders, Dr. Lector is the obvious suspect, but in the stunning climax he proves that the murderer was, in fact, a group of animated cats hiding in the library.
Oh, yikes, I missed one. I was going to disqualify the two Coen Brothers films because well, they’re two Coen Brothers films (I want to keep this as disparate as possible).
So, yeah, you can do one. But that’s all. 
Good one Monty. I actually said it was the Schindler’s list of movies from something Phil said a while back when we discussed movie reviews on the City Paper. Basically, the City Paper doesn’t like anything that isn’t Schindler’s List and Phil said something about “Dude, where’s my car?” I think. Anyway, he said, making fun of the City Paper, that it was “The Schindler’s List of teen sex comedies.” Hilarity ensued.
How about another one.
Tetsuo: The Iron Man
The Scooby Doo Movie (the one with the aliens)
Escape from Witch Mountain (that was an awful movie)
Farewell My Concubine
HUGS!

PS. This is a good thread. I hope you are having fun with it.
Hmm… where can we go with this?
I Am Curious (Blue)
Jacob’s Ladder
How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying
Free Willy
Y’know, you really should read the OP. I’m looking for common, well known movies. I’ve never heard of Tetsuo, and I didn’t realise there was a Scooby Doo movie (I know of one in production). Escape from Witch Mountain I haven’t seen when I was 5, and Farewell My Concubine I don’t think I’ve seen.
I’m flattered: I made Threadspotting!
I haven’t seen I Am Curious (Blue), so I’ll base it on (Yellow).
A young man, haunted by the whale rescue he did when he was younger, attempted to break into filmmaking. As he does so, he discovers two things: that his life is echoing the film, and he has no life at all: he’s dead.
Pulp Fiction
any Muppet movie
American Beauty
Thirtteen Days
A Fish Called Wanda
Muppets Take Manhattan
Big Top Pee-Wee
On Golden Pond
Life Is Beautiful
Try this one
The Matrix
Final Fantasy:The Spirits Within (It’s brand new, couple days old)
Top Gun
Battlestar Galactica
Bambi
In case you havn’t seen the Final Fantasy movie, feel free to replace it with Star Wars: Episode 1
I’m going to use The Muppet Movie, my favourite one.
A young frog, trying to make it to Hollywood to be famous, gets caught up with a robbery gone wrong in a diner. A clandestine deal with Khruschev solves that crisis, but another one ensues as a gay military leader, deep in the closet, shoots the frog as his dream of being famous is finally realised.
An old couple reminisces about their youth, when they were in the circus and attempted to get on Broadway. But, their plans were waylaid by WWII, and they were captured by Nazis and placed in a concentration camp. They put on shows to keep themselves alive and to fool their young son, Kermit.
Would you believe I’ve never seen Battlestar Galactica, and no, I haven’t seen Final Fantasy yet, but I think I know enough of the plot to crib it.
A young man learns that his mother was killed in the Matrix, a weird virtual reality world where nothing is real. The Matrix is controlled by aliens that have taken over the earth. Driven by revenge, the young man joins the air force and leads a fighter crew against the alien’s ship, the Battlestar Galactica.
Well, I can give you some plot synopses of the movies.
Tetsuo: The Iron Man
A young Japanese man imbeds metal into his body and slowly has it take over. It has no dialogue and he basically runs around in a weird stop motion photography type way. It was around an hour long but seemed like 8 or 9 since it was so boring.
The Scooby Doo Movie (the one with the aliens)
The Scooby gang solve a mystery about “aliens” who are mining oil at a government installation of somekind while befriending a hippy girl and her dog who seem like detective members of Greenpeace, supposedly FBI Agents but really the real aliens out to make out with Shag and Scoob.
Escape from Witch Mountain (that was an awful movie)
A stupid girl with weak powers tries to save her brother (who is kidnapped and brainwashed by lackies) by making out with a gang of prepubescent gangsters (I always thought they were the Crips and were going to cut me) while hiding out from the truant officer.
Farewell My Concubine
This is the story of two male Peking Opera stars during the rise of communism. The man who plays the woman falls in love with the lead man who rejects “her” until the end when communism has taken over China he realizes he really loves her and I believe commits suicide.
Is that enough to work with?
HUGS!
