Summarise a Film In a Limerick

This isn’t any vacation
By two Yanks adrift in Nippon
He’s filmed drinking whiskey
She’s bored and now frisky
And nothing much happens from then on.

Nice one, FG. On the subject of over-rated movies, try this Froggiephone Oscar-winning one:

As a selfish old man lies dying
His daughter can’t do all the crying
Wife, nurses and mistresses being easily wowed
The bugger turns his attention to his son so proud
Who like us finds the whole thing trying

Alien

A big badass insect in space
Had teeth that came right out its face
Ate its way through the crew
Till Ripley said “Shoo!”
And put the thing right in its place

Raiders of the Lost Ark

There once was a doctor named Jones
who fought with bad guys in warzones
They found the Lost Ark
Alone in the Dark
It then melted the flesh off their bones

The Aviator
A millionare flier named Hughes
Once assayed photoplays to produze.
On the side, he built planes,
Bedded Hollywood dames,
And progressively loosened his screws.

Gone with the Wind
*
A diva named Scarlet O’Hara
once lived in a mansion called Tara
One day she met
a gentleman named Rhett
and they lived in the Civil War era*

I just can’t stop…

The Manchurian Candidate

A prisoner the Chinese detained
Then they reprogrammed his brain
He seemed rather hesitant
to kill the future president
whose mother was pulling the reins

Jaws:

The summer money’s what makes us all rich
A stoned swimmer who drowned, just a glitch
“This is no boating accident” was said
And right when ole Martin looked dead
“Smile you son of a bitch”

A small boy’s halloween festival
Is magic when his cycle goes aerial
In Speilberg’s confusion
His Christ-like allusion
Was reborn as an extra-terrestrial

An adventure tale of a small fry
Through ocean perils that thereby
May cause you to fret
If the fish fate is met
Don’t worry, it’s only c.g.i.

This film is trash from the onset
For Stiller is it’s only asset.
It’s not done by halves
Just how many laughs
Can a ball in the face or the groin get?

The Omen, parts I-III

There once was a mean little kid
With a birthmark beneath his hair hid.
He posed no real danger,
This demon-seed stranger,
‘Till Rove helped his White House bid!

Friday the Thirteenth

Jason, that vile, evil stain,
Killed people, again and again.
And again and again
And again and again
And again and again and again.

Pearl Harbor

The Zeros flew in for attack;
The Yanks took a lot of their flack.
It was… kind of gory,
But there was no story—
That cost money, and I want it back!

A professor and besotted wife
show some youngsters their tempestuous life
and equally wild
is their conjured-up child
amidst all the drinking and strife.

Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolfe?

There once was a salesman named Willy
whose antics at times were most silly
his head filled with dreams
and marvelous schemes
in the end he passes on shrilly

Death of a Salesman

Silence of the Lambs

There once was a female detective
who talked with one Hannibal Lecter
who came up with a plan
to catch an evil man
while continuing to mentally dissect her

:: Quid pro quo, Clarice ::

A detective who speaks in falsetto
Shoots Lecter ere becoming risotto
Cue serial murderer -
“That guy played Amon Goeth!”
More fun to see Santa in his grotto

Someone to do Hannibal, please.

This one made me snort soup through my nose. :smiley:

Two brothers Elwood & Jake
Decided they had to take
A mission from God
That turned very odd.
And should not have had a remake.

Hannibal

After he hung a priest by his guts from the rafters,
he then sought Clarice out and kidnapped her
and then in due course
showed her dead daddy’s corpse
and then they lived happily ever after

Cat burglar Eddie could do no wrong;
He and Tommy had worked together so long
When enacting a crime
They could keep time
by singing a mutual song.

Pulp Fiction

Two gangsters named Vincent and Jules
Enforce boss Marcellus’s rules
they first shoot the breeze
about quarter pounders with cheese
then shoot some dumb stash-hoarding fools

I think that last line should be:

'til Bush’s defeat he undid. :wink:

(Two, two, two dings in one! :smiley: )

There were some guys in SWAT
Quite a few of who are real hot
There was some trouble
Their cross was doubled
But you expect that when you play a cop.
