Movie fans rejoice! All those hours spent watching films were not wasted. Read funny movie mash ups and submit your own using the mass of plots, characters and movie cliches filling up your beautiful mind.

It's easy to play. Just follow these 3 simple steps and soon you'll be brimming with ideas.

  1. Take two unrelated movies which have something in common in their titles.
  2. Mash the titles up to make a new imaginary film
  3. Write the advertising blurb for the resulting cinematic monstrosity, and add it in teh comments below.

Unusually for the internet, exclamation marks are allowed!

Of course, lots of bonus points if it is funny. Have a look at the entries below to get an idea of what works.

The Movie Mash-up Game

Combine two movie titles and write the summary of the resulting imaginary film project.

It works best when the two titles have a word or two in common, or even just two words that sound the same. Feel free to copy bits of text from IMDB or Wikipedia to make your blurbs. If you are having trouble thinking of which movies to mash together, try this page for some inspiration. Or you could download your favorite movies here to refresh yourself on the plot details. I'll start you off with one to give you the idea, but also because I just love doing them.

Here is an example to give you some clues.
1. First film, pulled out of the air - King Kong
2. Now think of a film that shares a word in the title. How about The Lion King or The King of New York? OK I'll take the second option. Seems more promising in terms of funny story lines.
3. We now have a title - The King Kong of New York
4. Read the basic plot summaries on IMDB and MASH them up into a new, thrilling, and hopefully funny story. In this case something like "Frank White, a giant ape, is released from prison and returns to his old neighbourhood after years away to find it going to the dogs. He decides to eliminate the gangs that have taken over in his absence, but runs into trouble when his old nemesis on the police force manages to exhibit him for show in a Broadway theatre. The ensuing battle through the urban jungle culminates in a thrilling setpiece on top of the Empire State building where Frank finds he could be going down for the last time". There you go, that took 5 minutes.
5. Submit it by adding a comment (below the list) and wait for the plaudits to roll in.

If you want to add this list to your own lens or blog, just click the Grab This List button below and pick option 2 or 3.

Leonard Maltin's 151 Best Movies You've Never Seen

352 pages

Amazon review - "I sat down expecting to quickly skim this book and I read every word. It shouldn't by now, but it always surprises me when I realize how good a film critic and historian (as opposed to a thumbs-up thumbs down reviewer) Leonard Maltin is. Lately, the film writers I learn the most from are Maltin and David Thomson."
