Easter Monday movie titles game

Since it's Easter Monday and no doubt raining in England (and here too), I think we all need a game to play. Here's a fun one, which I am stealing unashamedly from Lord Celery's blog.

Think of a famous movie. Change one letter (just one letter, mind) in the title, and produce a new movie, the one they could have had a lot of fun making if only they'd left that typo in the original proposal.

Let me start you off.

Dig Hard - Bruce Willis's lesser known gardening epic

Fission Impossible - the story of how the atom was split

Chariots of Fife - Ben Hur's visit to Scotland

Shrew
- you thought he was an over-sized green ogre, but in fact Princess Fiona was rescued by a tiny furry rodent with a Scottish accent

Paws - when the Australian coastline was terrorised by a man-eating chihuahua

Star Wart
- Steven Spielberg's budget-busting series about an inter-galactic facial blemish

The 39 Stops - life as a driver on the Northern Line

Schindler's Lift - the history of the world's third largest elevator company

Now it's your turn.

Iota, it's not raining in our small town in Hertfordshire, England today but it's not sunny either.

I like the movie titles game! The examples you give are great! Very funny. I can't think of any at all right now but I read your post to my husband and this was his suggestion:

"Stab Wars" - teenage life on the streets of Britain.

And with the simple addition of a hyphen to an existing classic title, I've just thought of the perfect name for the film, yet to come, that looks at the phenomenon of the blogosphere. It would be 'The Great E-scape'.

Who knew that Sarah Jessica Parker and her friends were really into the world of craft activity? All is revealed in 'Sew and the City'.

Then there's the Bridget Jones sequel when she divorces Mark Darcy, moves to the country, marries a farmer, and we learn all about 'Bridget Jones's Dairy'. (Switching round two letters counts as changing one, I think.)

I've got to stop this game right now.

Try a missing letter -

'Spiderma'

Life as a working mom and superhero.

Oh this is brilliant, but I know I'm going to be really bad at it!!
And yes, it hissed down here all day, although they still went ahead with the Chicago Cubs season opener. Freezing!

After spending all week packing up the house ready to move, mine are:
Gone with the wind - Gone with the wine
Tess - Mess
and I know it's really a series but can I be allowed
House - Mouse after discovering a rodent had chewed through my hand knitted scarves in the cupboard under the stairs?
and another series...
Bones - Boxes
Oh, this is very therapeutic!

And then there's the history of China, The Lord of the Mings. And the Scottish epic, Devolutionary Road. Lastly, the sequel to the Wind in the Willows, Revolutionary Toad. Oh no, sorry, that wasn't the last one, The Fridges of Madison County has just been yelled up the stairs...

Fabulous, just fabulous. My brain has gone curiously blank but love all the suggestions and know this will now haunt me as I lie in bed tonight...So if I suffer a bout of insomnia, it will be ALL your fault!

Actually the weather's been beautiful in England, but always useful to have a rainy day option up the sleeve;-)
