| Shifting Movie Titles |
I have a time crunch this week, so I'm re-posting something from 2013. I call it "Shifting Movie Titles." It's a fun way to come up with screenplay ideas.
First I chose ten movie titles consisting of only two words. I wrote each title on a separate piece of paper, mixed them up, then randomly selected each one so I wouldn't be tempted to orchestrate the list. Here it is:
- Rear Window
- Finding Nemo
- Die Hard
- Roman Holiday
- Groundhog Day
- High Noon
- Citizen Kane
- Toy Story
- Funny Farm
- Star Wars
- Star Window
- Rear Nemo (He finally found his son, now he's gotta raise him through the teen years.)
- Finding Hard (Everything comes easy for Helga, so she sets out on a variety of bizarre and silly ventures searching for something to challenge her abilities.)
- Die Holiday (A man is determined to kill his least favorite holiday…Halloween.)
- Roman Day
- Groundhog Noon (Groundhog Chattanooga Charlie challenges Punxsutawney Phil to a shadow duel at high noon. Whoever resists running from his shadow is the winner.)
- High Kane
- Citizen Story
- Toy Farm
- Funny Wars (Class clown, Andrew, goes to Clown College only to discover being a goofball is serious business.)
I would love to hear your ideas for these titles! Can you come up with humorous concepts for the ones I skipped?
Roman Day (A college student is doing a research paper on the Roman Empire. He inadvertently logs onto a website that is a portal back into time - more specifically, the days of Julius Caesar)
ReplyDeleteOoo... that's a good one!
DeleteHello there.
ReplyDeleteI think I've seen most of these movies on the original list. Groundhog Day was the most annoying! "Citizen Nemo" has a comedic ring to it.
Thanks for sharing and for visiting my blog.

You're right. "Citizen Nemo" could be a fun comedy! :-)
