A few weeks ago, a friend and I developed a new pub game, which we are hoping to spread to imbibing movie fans everywhere. The idea is that you take two movie titles that share a common word – we’ll allow a classic tv title if it’s worth it – to create a brand new movie. For example...
The Lost Boyz in the Hood.
A young man, despite the best efforts of his father, is lured into the vampire gang violence
Licence to Driving Miss Daisy
Two teenagers steal a car to get driving practice, unaware that an elderly woman is in the back seating, expecting to be chauffeured.
An Inconvenient Truth about Cats and Dogs
A glamorous politician is seen by the world to be preaching environmental awareness, but it’s really his shy, less attractive colleague writing the words behind the scenes!
Are you loving it? Here’s a few more...
Raging Bull Durham
The bloody and inspirational story of a terrific boxer ...and his love of baseball.
Remains of the Days of Thunder
The poignant story of a traditional stoic butler and his unspoken love for an arrogant racing car driver
Annie Hall, Get Your Gun
A high energy musical about a neurotic comedian tracing the history of his failed relationship with a cross-dressing sharp-shooter.
Blue Hawaii 5-0
Elvis plays a detective in Hawaii who’s a singer by night.
Notting Hills Have Eyes
A whimsical yet often hilarious look at what happens when an ordinary book shop owner falls in love mutant cannibalistic hillbilly
The Magnificent Seven years in Tibet
The epic tale of seven gunslingers and their struggle to find redemption and peace as Tibet is over taken by Mexican bandits
Field of Dreamgirls
A poor Midwestern farmer builds a theatre in his cornfield on the hope that Motown singers will appear.
And so on. Much hilarity ensues. Genuinely, I think this is how movie executives come up with ideas. Add your suggestions to the comments below so I can win the next round!!

Stranger than Pulp Fiction
The lives of two mob hit men, a boxer, a gangster's wife, a pair of diner bandits and an IRS auditor intertwine in five tales of violence and redemption.
Supberbad Mean Girls.
Snobbish, conceded, over-the-top pretentious young women who hunger to bring misery to all around them. While their superficial bond may be strong, little can prepare them for the man who will sweep them off their feet, and pit each other in a bloody duel for his heart. Some may call him a modern day Romeo, he prefers to go by only one name: McLovin.
Please add your name, anon!
Harold & Maude Go to White Castle
A young, rich boy obesessed with death finds his soulmate in an eccentric elderly woman, Maude. Together they discover the wonderous effects of smoking marijuana (it reminds Maude of her previous days spent as a care-free, hippy, flower child, and Harold likes the effect it has on his brain, in which he forgets he's sleeping with a senior citizen old enough to be his grandmother).
After a hard night of partying, both find themselves wanting a burger from White Castle to satisfy their munchies. As you can imagine craziness ensues - especially when Neil Patrick Harris makes an appearance. Cat Stevens (or is it Yusef?) does the soundtrack.
Lord of the Ring
Hobbits venture out on a magical journey across a treacherous, enchanted forest to save their people and claim back their land.
After stopping at a Motel 6 for some much needed rest, they decide to order pay-per-view and end up watching a long forgotten horror film instead.
One by one, the members of the Hobbit gang mysteriously disappear or die tragic deaths, and it's up to Frodo and Sarah Michelle Gellar to save the day.
This movie could also very well put an end to the whole "are they/aren't they gay" controversy.
Chicken Run, Lola Run
The story follows a woman who needs to retrieve 100,000 Deutsche Mark in 20 minutes to save her boyfriend's life.
Heavy use of KFC product placement throughout. Mel Gibson guest stars with voice-over work.
Done entirely in CLAYMATION.
aa, If I hi-fived, I'd hi five you right now.
Free Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
A senile isolationist forces hundreds dwarfs (so-called “umpalumpas) to do his bidding in his chocolate factory. Wonka is known as the “Rupert Murdoch” of chocolate, and these little people have tirelessly worked to build his over-reaching sugar empire of years. Fed up with the lack of recognition, and wanting to stop Wonka once and for all, these “umpalumpa’s” embark on a dangerous journey to deprive Wonka of the one thing he needs more than anything in the world- his insulin.
