Use movie titles in a sentence

[DawnStorm]

The Rules:
The titles have to be from either an actual marquee, or from a theater's newspaper listing. Preferably the first.
Numbers--as in sequels--do not have be included.
No rearranging of the titles!


Here's an example, taken from the Arlington Cinema & Drafthouse. I pass this theater on my way home from work, and I always hit that light red.

Current Titles in Order on Marquee:

Harry Potter; Up; The Hangover; District 9

My sentence(s)/short paragraph:

Harry Potter woke Up with The Hangover of the century. He was surprised to find himself in the District 9 jail

Have fun!

Donnie Darko used The Red Violin to play A Christmas Carol.

The Kid and Gandhi had fun on Groundhog Day.

The Godfather and The Pianist sat by the Rear Window.

Good Will Hunting caught a Big Fish in Mystic River.

That was fun

[BatmanBeatles]

The mother of Bambi got shot by the Deer Hunter.

Sitting so long by the Rear Window, made him Psycho.

Hate it when that happens.
Remember, the titles have to be from actual marquees you have seen.

Doh, I missed that part. Mine are not valid then.

Aw, I can't do any of the ones I wanted then.

[Wicked Tinkerbell]

Hijack: This game made me think of this marquee.

[Assilem Brandywine]

Amelia Saw Astro Boy and told him Halloween would be Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, so they went to check out the Paranormal Activity at the Couples Retreat.

The Stepfather was a Law Abiding Citizen even when he went Where the Wild Things Are and even Zombieland at Twilight.

"This is It!" said The Vampire's Assistant.

[Just Jocko]

I'm going to use the titles as they appeared on the marquee:

So, DH and I went on a Couples Retreat, where we Saw 4 Wild Things and I told DH, "Look, I may be a Law Abiding Citizen, but This Is It -- if I get served any more Cloudy Meatballs I'm gonna commit some violence!"

Gotta love the multiplexes with the tiny signs.

I've decided to add some new rules: I'm going to list four movies and you have to use those titles in a sentence. You then have to list 4-5 movie titles--past or present- for someone else to use in sentence. That person then gets to list 4-5 titles and so on. You can rearrange the titles, but pat yourself on the back if you can keep them in the order they're listed.
Who can make a sentence (or two) from:

Batman; Braveheart; Titanic; Shrek
???

The field is wide open--have fun.

I saw Hammerin' Hank at bat; man, what a brave heart he had, a titanic star of the diamond, hitting that ball whoosh--shrek!--and outa here.

Oh, yeh, titles:

Birth of a Nation; The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Crazy, Mixed-Up Zombies; My Dog Skip; and Buck Benny Rides Again!

It was the birth of a nation when the incredibly strange creatures who stopped living and became crazy, mixed-up zombies adopted my dog skip and built a home that will last until Buck Benny Rides Again.

(Thanks, Brad. I had to jump in when one of Jack's movies was listed.)

The Godfather, Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, Rain Man, To Kill a Mockingbird.

[ElectricBarbarella]

"Honey, Rain Man and I shrunk the kids while the Godfather walked across the street to kill a mockingbird for me".


(said you could rearrange the titles)..

My four:

Let The Right One In, Knightriders, Jaws, and The Dark Crystal

Let The Right One In, Knightriders, Jaws, and The Dark Crystal

I asked the Knightriders how they could Let The Right One In if they had The Dark Crystal stuck in their Jaws.

My four:
The Brain That Wouldn't Die; Beethoven; Crazy In Alabama; After The War, You Have to Tell Everyone About the Dutch Gay Resistance Fighters.

[ElectricBarbarella]

The Brain That Wouldn't Die; Beethoven; Crazy In Alabama; After The War, You Have to Tell Everyone About the Dutch Gay Resistance Fighters.

People arecrazy in Alabama. They believe you have to tell everyone about the dutch gay resistance fighters-collectively known as the brain that wouldn't die; or else Beethoven will posess you.


My four:

Interview with a vampire, Vampire Conspiracy, Letters from Iwo Jima, and Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus

[BatmanBeatles]

I recieved letters from Iwo Jima informing me about the mega shark vs. the giant octopus, but according to the interview with a vampire, it turned out to be part of a vampire conspiracy.

Carrie, Mulan, Sleepless In Seatle, Roadhouse

[DawnStorm]

Carrie and Mulan were Sleepless in Seattle until they heard Roadhouse Blues by the Doors.


Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory; Runaway Bride; Bowling for Columbine; Old Yeller

[ElectricBarbarella]

Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory; Runaway Bride; Bowling for Columbine; Old Yeller

While bowling for columbine, the runaway bride beat old yeller with a perfect score and thus earned a trip to see willy wonka and the chocolate factory playing at the theatre.


Tango and Cash, Cannonball Run, Bad Boys, and Cruising

And it's Tango and Cash out in front by two lengths! Cannonball Run and Bad Boys have some ground to make but they're Cruising!



Racing Stripes; Pete's Dragon; Starship Troopers; Saturday Night Fever.

[ElectricBarbarella]

Racing Stripes; Pete's Dragon; Starship Troopers; Saturday Night Fever.

The starship troopers have all come down with a bout of saturday night fever. Telltale signs include distinct racing stripes running down the center of their backs and they all speak in a foreign language commonly known as pete's dragon.
