More Movie Fun

This grew out of a contest in the Washington Pest back in '02. I've added to the list over the years, but I'm too lazy to go back and see if I'd already posted this.

The contest was to change on word in a movie title and come up with a whole new synopsis. (In one case, I didn't even need to change the title.)

Futuristic book-burners just can't seem to get the bonfires going.



"How Green Was My Valley?"

"Diet Hard"

"The Bitches of Madison County"

"Never on Saturday"

"Magnum Farce"

"Thirteen Angry Men"
The judge gets mighty upset when the jury's deliberations drag on.



"Pleasure of the Sierra Madre"
