Stupid, Addictive Twitter Game: #moviemashups

I spent about half an hour last night on Twitter trying to play a game that was spinning wildly out of control called #moviemashups. The way it works is you combine two movie titles, and I like bookending them so the last word of one title is the first word of another, as in Up in the Air Up There, which would be a story about George Clooney, corporate downsizer, flying a house balloon off course, landing in Africa, where he has to coach a basketball team. You don't need to add the story, but obviously, it runs through your mind; that's part of the fun. Now, some Tweeters were breaking the rules as far as I'm concerned, fudging the names a little bit too much or just stacking titles together like The Book of Eli Legion, which makes no sense at all. Unless I'm missing some connection, Dude, Where's My Field of Dreams doesn't cut it. So here are some of mine from last night, a couple of which I'm real proud of. Please add your own and let's see what we can come up with. Star Trek II: The Wrath of Con-Air
Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House of Flying Daggers
Sweet Sweetback's Baadassss Song of the South
Gorillas in the Mystic Pizza
The Unbearable Lightness of Being John Malkovich
Ordinary People vs. Larry Flynt
The Basketball Diary of Anne Frank
Jennifer 8 1/2
E.T. Mama Tambien
Se7en Brides for Se7en Brothers
The Sixth Sense and Sensibility
Legend of Drunken Master and Commander
Forever Young Frankenstein
Deconstructing Harry and the Hendersons
United Ninety-Three Amigos

Wow, I love that you did this. This is my favorite of yours, Colin ---> The Basketball Diary of Anne Frank. Although The Unbearable Lightness of Being John Malkovich was epic. I can't think of any good ones but here are mine anyways.

Porky Pig stars in They Shoot Horses Don't They Shoot Horses Don't They?

Cop and a Half Baked

Wicker Man on Wire or I Love You, Man on Fire

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood (although, technically that is cheating a little as I understand the rules).

This is fun...

Although not technically within the "rules", I am reminded of two actual movie theater marquees I saw many years ago. This was back when the signs outside theaters would have man made letters hung to spell out the movies. First, back in 1979:
Alien
Meatballs
Escape From Alcatraz

Then, in 1992:
Stop or My Mom Will Shoot
J.F.K.

I'm thinking there is no way they could have not done that on purpose...
