I just scored 100 on the quiz [Can you name the correct movie titles when given titles with the wrong vowels?](http://www.sporcle.com/games/MSUKent/movies-with-the-wrong-vowels) and thought it might be fun to come up with out own.

If this idea has already been presented, color me lazy or just plain stupid.

If not, have some fun.
