Pithy movie summaries

drakeygirl's picture

I watched The Big Lebowski for the first time in ages last night.
The Dude abides, he really does.

I then thought about how I'd describe the film to someone who hadn't seen it. I decided this would do:

1) Funny as f**k. Goes a bit flabby in the middle. Ends well.

(Incidentally, I then decided I would love to have this as my epitaph. Unfortunately, the only part I know to be strictly true is the middle bit).

So, anyone else want to have a go at a pithy movie summary (or two)? You can tell us the title, or leave it for us to guess if you like...

It's all about a sledge (or is it "sled").

Not mine...

...and I think the film's already been done above, but still worth mentioning: -

Transported to a surreal landscape, a young girl kills the first person she meets and then teams up with three strangers to kill again.

"I see dead people. Like you, Bruce."

Also:

No girls, six guys, one cup. (And some coconut shells.)

Murder on the Orient Express. By everyone.

After a build-up that seemed to take forever, two boys and a girl do very little of interest in a tent for most of the film. Audience leaves in disappointment, hoping the follow-up will tie up loose ends. Sadly, Blair Witch 2 is even worse.

Aliens travel millions of miles to catch a cold.

Or get fucked over by a computer virus.

Or water.

Or Arnie in a facepack.

Yank backpacker is attacked by Yorkshire lycanthrope and taken to the nearest hospital. It's in London, apparently.

Precinct 9 gets assaulted, despite title.

Borat presents xenophobic, much-maligned picture of backwards country, invoking wrath of its proud natives. Tail between his legs, he returns to Kazakhstan.

Long-awaited messiah of the future (The One) is finally discovered by freedom fighters-cum-world's most inept anagram solvers.

So-called children's movie ends in highly dubious fashion with Axel Foley-voiced donkey fulfilling the promise of the title of Bruce Lee's final film.

Clint is clearly 'the good', but fans argue about the other two for decades.

Just remember you're supposed to be German, then the escape will be as good as was promised. (One slip, though, and you'll be condemned to a career forever associated with Lewis Collins.)

True love = no more Sonny and Cher.

Bloke invents fake documentary about fake workplace. Hollywood gives him big budget. Bloke invents God. Budget never seen again.

Head bashing in gay bar. Bum bashing in subway. Bummer.

Lad gets bird. Brother kills bird. Yorkshire Tourist Board shares plummet.

Irritating, no-hoper becomes toast of late-night US TV, despite having no discernible talent. (Doesn't feature Adam Sandler, surprisingly.)

Dreadful stage musical which should by all accounts be a flop becomes surprising smash hit. (See also Mamma Mia.)

Unarmed, weedy American mathematician Dustin Hoffman takes on a gang of burly, gun-wielding Cornish manual labourers. Wins. Could happen.

That Mary... can't quite put my finger on it...

Failed actor Dustin Hoffman drags up. Seemingly intelligent bloke falls for the horrifying result. Could happen.

Hilarious 'documentary' about deluded band touring America, despite being well past their sell-by date. Funniest bits: highly embarrassing visit to Elvis's grave, nonsensical soundbites from their singer and guitarist, the duet with BB King.

Eponymous hero Darren Boot gets into fearful scrapes with his U-boat crew.
