Or this one with a whole of people going trekking thru the galaxy on a continuing mission of some sort to get back to the creator, the whole motion picture was all about this bald chick who won’t have sex. Wagon Train To The Stars! ---

My favorite movie is the one about the grandson of a famous mad scientist who carries on his grandfathers work on to see it go horribly . It’s called _Sedagive_. ---

One of my favorite movies is the one where the US hockey team pulls a miracle on ice, and no one can believe the miracle over the russians, and it was even a miracle that they were in it in the first place…I think it was called “New York Hockey Game” ---

Is it just me or an surprisingly large number of people not getting the premise here? ---

My favorite movie was set in a fantasy world where little people had to throw a magical ring into a volcano, because Sauron wanted the Ring and the Ring had the power to corrupt good people into evil like Sauron’s Ring wraiths. I think it was called “Pervy Hobbit Fanciers”. ---

> [@Reeses\_Monkey](#): > > I like the one with this girl who falls in love with a stable boy. He goes to sea and is captured by pirates! Then an evil prince falls in love with her, so he makes her a princess so they can get married. But he’s only using her to start a war. He has her kidnapped but then a man in black rescues her. They have many adventures until he is captured and killed. The girl weds the prince but, hey! The man in black isn’t dead! He saves the day. The whole thing is so crazy that it was called “Inconceivable.” This one ought to win the thread, but for some reason, it just isn’t as funny as it should be, > [@Agnostic\_Pagan](#): > > My favorite movie is about this boy who watches his parents brutally gunned down in front of him by a mugger. He vows revenge on all criminals and wants to make them feel as afraid as he did that night. So when he grows up he decides to dress up like a bat since they are what scared him the most as a young child. Fortunately, his parents were very wealthy so he could spend the rest of his youth training and studying how to enact revenge and their family’s butler felt sorry for the kid (and maybe a bit afraid of the kid himself) so he just went along with the kid’s plans and helped the kid, now a man, setup a secret lair under the family mansion in an old cave which is filled with bats. > > It’s called _The Psycho Vigilante with a Fetish for Flying Mammals_. Or maybe _Echo-Locating Nocturnal Flying Mammal Man_? ---

I like that movie where the Navy SEALS rescue some guys on a ship and then the Navy SEALS find some terrorists have stolen some Stinger missiles and are planning on shooting them at airplanes so the Navy SEALS go to Libya to get the missiles back and when they get there, some of the Navy SEALS die but most of them win and the Navy SEALS get the missiles back and then a NAvy Seal shoots an armored car with one and then the Navy SEALS exfiltrate to a Navy ship and then everything’s good in America again because of the Navy SEALS. I think it’s called “Hey, Let’s Go Get Them Terrorists, boys!” ---

> [@KneadToKnow](#): > > Is it just me or an surprisingly large number of people not getting the premise here? It’s like if we had a thread about your favorite movie. And all the posts were about your favorite movie and would be written to include the name of your favorite movie in the description. I think the name of the thread should be “The Film Name Game”. ---

This was a movie about a marathon dance contest with a killer last line: “They shoot horses, don’t they?” I think it was called “The Dance Contest.” Another is about the young scientist who is the grandson of a man called “Frankenstein,” only her pronounces it “Frankensteen” (probably because he’s young) and he goes to Frankenstein’s lab to make a monster. I think it was called “The Monster Maker.” Then there was the one about the Repo Man who would Repo old cars with a couple of other men until he and the men found a Repo car with aliens in the trunk. It was called “Plate O’ Shrimp,” I think. ---

There was a film where Moses, played by Ben Hur, went up the mountains and got the 10 commandments. He then came down the mountain and flung the 10 commandments down in disgust as he found his people whoring and drinking, and they didn’t bother to wait until he got there to start (the ungrateful wretches). Flinging the 10 commandments down, Moses apparently got a duplicate set. I fell asleep - it’s a long movie. I think the name is _Ole’ Mose on the Mountain_. ---

Semi off topic but I just noticed how similar this thread is to the “misleading plot” thread. I swear I didn’t totally rip this off of that. ---

There was a thriller about this submarine called the Red October. And the Russians were hunting for the Red October. And then the Americans were hunting for the Red October. I think it was called “Find the Submarine”. ---
