Movie titles with different meanings.

    This is probably meant more-so for the Film forum but I thought it be more fun here with more people.

    The idea is to use a movie title and pretend it's for a completely different movie.

    My Example:

    The Terminator

    A heart-warming quirky indie drama about a lonely insect exterminator (Steve Buscemi) with a hidden passion for knitting. Faced with social problems and an unsuccessful love-life he travels across America to compete in the New Orleans knitting contest, and to find himself. Along the way he meets many strange characters including a spotty teenager played by Will Smith who tags along with him to find the world's biggest piece of popcorn seed.

    I am Sam

    The Samantha Mumba story. A rollercoaster ride of emotions and careers with a murderous climax only equalled in "Carrie". Sam (played by Herself) was a young starlet with the world at her feet. She didn't realise the price of her young fame. Her agent Louis Walsh (played by Danny DeVito) has shot this young girl into stardom but has turned his back on her when the going got tough. But where will this starlet land when she falls back to earth? This is "High School Musical" crossed with "Falling Down". Nominated for an Academy Award for best visual effects following the scene "burning down of Vicar St." following her less than sell out gig (actual gig sold 12 tickets). A hysterical yet believable performance from the lead propels this movie into the irish cinematic history books. With cameos from Spyrell (Big Brother) and Glenda Gilson (????).

    (I'm ignoring the fact that Ted Danson is the biological father - an ode to Irish family law!)
