So, we’ve all heard of [Snakes on a Plane](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=333593&highlight=snakes+plane) by now, right? Well, a couple of weeks ago, [Fark.com](http://Fark.com)’s Photoshop contest was to apply this movie-naming logic to other well-known movies. [The results are hilarious, of course,](http://forums.fark.com/cgi/fark/comments.pl?IDLink=1941583) but you just know that the great minds of the SDMB can do even better. I’ll kick us off with a few random movies from my collection: _Pirates of the Caribbean_ - **Johnny Depp and Some Zombie Pirates** _Zoolander_ - **Male Models as Secret Agents** _UHF_ - **Weird Al Runs a TV Station** _The Incredibles_ - **Superheroes in the Witness Protection Program** _Mirrormask_ - **Dave McKean Draws Weird Shit** ---

_Altered States_: “Trips in a Tank.” _The Godfather_: “Mike in the Mob.” _Bladerunner_: “Replicants on the Street.” _Jaws_: “Mates on a Boat.” _Some Like it Hot_: “Guys in Drag.” _Taxi Driver_: Uh, well, umm, “Driver in a Taxi”? Ooh, boy. I’d really like to come up with one for “Mulholland Drive” but nothing pithy quite catches it. Not exactly a shock there. (Not a fave, but a reviewer’s assessment of “Moulin Rouge!” as a “Musical in a Blender” actually fits the schema.) ---
