Drop the last letter of a movie title

bnt

I listened to the BBC Radio 5 movie review podcast today, and one listener came up with an interesting game: leave the last letter off a movie title, and see how it changes the meaning. They had a few examples in the program:

The Incredible Hul
Apocalypse No
Superma
The Magnificent Seve
Watchme
Three Men in a Boa
Falling Dow
The Thin
The Curse of the Black Pear

My idea is to do this as a quiz - see how many of these you can figure out:

Q:
1) Mr. Reeves goes to Florida
2) The worst film-maker in Hong Kong
3) My family comes back to Middle Earth
4) Tricked into mass murder
5) A gorgeous Yank in Australia
6) "Life is like a pack of Wrigley's"
7) "Don't leave me, Mr. Bond"
8) We won, then left
9) My father comes back every day
10) Great pianist on his last leg.

Answers:

1) Miami Vic
2) Ed Woo
3) LotR: Return of the Kin
4) Psych
5) American Beaut
6) Forrest Gum
7) Stand By M
8) Gone With The Win
9) Groundhog Da
10) Shin

Mr.Lizard

1) A movie about a simpleton who invents a new form of adhesive.

2) A movie about a car breakdown service in Beijing

3) An average film about dinosaurs

4) James writes back home about time at his war in the Pacific

5) Movie about about a Jewish religious teacher who is convicted for a crime he didn't commit.
