I'll get the ball rolling:

Dead Man's Shoe (2004)

Sounds like a tearjerking tale of a recently-bereaved man returning the shoe of a road accident victim he found in a bush to the victim's late wife, through which they spark a deep friendship that goes beyond mere love. PG-13 5/10 Oscar-bait shite.

Beaststar: A rubber-hose styled cartoon series about a man's journey to create music and stage-plays for animals.

A Single Thing, In A Single Place, At A Single Moment In Time (Everything, Everywhere, All At Once): an avant-garde art-house flick featuring a single image of a random object that's displayed in complete silence for 2h19m. Each screening is unique, showing a different object every time.

One Night At Freddy's: a gaysploitation film about a one-night stand between Freddy and an unnamed male lover.

A Dungeon and Dragon: An Honorable Thief: a gaysploitation film about a dragon's relationship with a would-be Robin Hood who attempts to steal the dragon's horde before falling head-over-heels for the giant reptile. The movie ends with the thief convincing the dragon to be content with the love between them before distributing the dragon's massive wealth among the nearby townsfolk.

The Super Mario Movie: An Italian-American from the Brooklyn, New York discovers his extra-terrestrial heritage.

It's Life (IT Lives): a movie about coming to terms with hardship. The movie is presented entirely without character dialogue with running narration read from a detached perspective. The movie follows a professional clown who has become depressed by his job prospects in a world where clowns are rapidly losing popularity.

Jaw: a movie about a man with a prosthetic jaw. Will his prosthetic-induced speech impediment keep him from love?

Star War: an animated movie about an anthropomorphic star that goes off to war and returns with severe PTSD. Can the star's close relatives survive when the star begins to lash out with solar flares as a result of their trauma?

This is a Spinal Tap: an educational documentary about spinal taps used to help train surgeons about when to use a spinal tap and how to administer one.

Reservoir Dog: a documentary about a stray dog who lives in a reservoir. There is nothing special about the dog. The only dialogue comes in the form of candid interactions between the stray dog and various humans who come into contact with it. The final scene shows the dog being brought to a shelter by animal control where it is vaccinated and nursed back to full health, before eventually being put down as no one wanted to adopt it.

No Country For An Old Man: a documentary about a man who, due to being born homeless during a time of strife and rebellion, grows up to discover that he lacks any form of citizenship or birth records. The movie follows him as he finds himself caught in bureaucracy, bouncing from country to country as each one deports him in spite of his appeals for citizenship on the grounds of statelessness. The movie concludes with him dying homeless and alone, without any possessions or friends. He is buried in a pauper's field, his body unclaimed and unnamed.


This was fun, but jesus christ this got dark. I know This Is (A) Spinal Tap and It's Life/IT Lives is a stretch regarding the titles, but they seemed fun to do.


Some opposites:

The Godfathers: a bunch of men fight with each other over who should be the Godfather to their best friend's children. There can be only one.

Jurassic Parks: oh no there are more of them.

The Terminators: OH NO THERE ARE MORE OF THEM.

Shawns of the Dead: during the zombie apocalypse, a group of men discover that only people named Shawn are immune to the z-virus. The twist comes when one of the Shawns comes out as trans and is immediately overwhelmed by the virus after announcing her new preferred name to the group of surviving Shawns.

Uppies! (Up): A cult animated movie created by a small team of furries about cute animal-people asking/begging humans for uppies.

Yep! (Nope): A live-action movie about a horse ranch and a helpful eldritch alien with a can-do attitude.


Edit: did some formatting stuff.
