(Going to give this whole "post your own _____" thread thing a go :P)

One of Stanley Kubrick's running jokes with his staff was coining possible movie titles from random sources such as signs, overheard conversations, print ads, etc. For example, "All Night Prescription," "Coffin Not Included," "Twig the Enhancer". So, here's the game: come up with a fake movie title that sounds cool and then come up with a brief description of what you think the movie would be about. I'll start:

PINK UMBRELLA
Perhaps a badass 60s female assassin flick, gaysploitation revenge thriller, or a flamboyant, early-Almodovar type comedy.


Your turn. ;)

This is awesome.

The Blown Gasket (Science Fiction/Romance)

A womanizing pornstar is forced into underground films when, in the disturbingly near future, Alex Jones is elected President of the United States, but is discovered by the authorities and is sentenced to two years of hard factory labour, living from the facility with other imprisoned porncriminals. He falls for, not an actress, but a producer, and, through their undying love for eachother, bring all of the others together for an uprising... to get the nation's attention.

I'd pay to see that. :P

The Lunchpail Samurai

A Japanese construction worker is enjoying his lunch break, when out of the corner of his eye, he spots something in one of the foundation excavations. Curious, he climbs down to investigate...

...and discovers his destiny. An intricately carved box, jade and ivory and gold; he opens it. Visions flood his mind; heir to a proud line of samurai, sworn to defend the nation from evil, unknown ancestors going back over the ages, he sees it all. But something else was inside the casket, as well; a centuries old half-eaten lunch, mummified from the aeons underground, and now festering with the ancient spirits of evil and death. Now, he is Japan's (and the world's) only hope, armed with nothing but his trusty wrench and steel lunchpail. Yet he still has a job to do...

Will he overcome the evil? Will he pour the concrete that the building needs? And what of the mysterious, and beautiful, woman that he constantly sees around the construction site?

Mysticism, intrigue, violence, and sex await in this epic adventure.


I imagine this entire thing without any dialogue whatsoever.

First Blood

Behind These Eyes (Crime/Thriller/Drama)

This is kind of a Paul Schrader, 'lonely man' type of film with a dead beat character who is bored with his job. He doesn't keep in contact with many people, and is often regarded as a loner at work, which is during the days. At nights he cruises the city not really looking for anyone or anything – more of an escape really. He's a night-owl. Ultimately, looking for a cheap thrill he buys some coke off a dealer but during the deal there's a shootout and a large sum of money falls into his hands. Suddenly his life becomes more than he asked for. If you're reading this saying to yourself, this sounds like Drive or Taxi Driver – well that's what I am basing this story on. What would happen if you were to gel the two together with a little American Gigolo thrown in. I would want to set this film in the 80s and have an exclusive 80s soundtrack. Possible locations to take place would be, Miami, New York City, Los Angeles or Toronto.
