Movie title changing game!

    I had many happy summers working at the local multiplex and one of my favourite duties was to see what I could get away with when putting the movie titles on the canopy or over the individual screen doors. The only rule was to simply change,omit or add one letter.

    This resulted in some interesting titles being displayed, such as:

    1. lice in Wonderland
    2. Hot ****s
    3. Short Cu*ts (I wasn't allowed to leave this one on display for some reason...)

    Thought it would be interesting to see what other people could come up with...

    This would have been a much better film than the real one. So long as they left out the endless sex scenes. That would have been odd.
