Here's a cool game that came right from an episode of the TV show Stacked:

Take the title of a film, TV show, book, play, musical, video game, etc. etc. and change only one letter to create a COMPLETLEY new title...then write a brief synopsis of this new title.

For example:
Lord of the Rinks: Frodo and his hobbit friends skate their way into Mordor to take on Saurons team of orcs, in a sudden death ice hockey game!!

Panic Roof: When thieves break into her house, Jodi Foster climbs the fire escape to the roof of her home...only to find out that there is no way off!!!

Re: Fun with Titles: A neat game!

Good ones so far - Yeah, I could go on and on. I have a ton more, but I'll let others take a stab.

Here are a few more:

Footsie: Dustin Hoffman plays a man with a foot fetish, who dresses up as an Asian woman in order to get a job at a foot massage parlor. Little does he know that his younger brother (who is a cop) is currently working undercover to bust the joint for prostitution.

Planet of the Ales: Charlton Heston (in a drunken voice): "Get your DAMN hands ON me.....you SEXY monkey beast!!! hick!"

and my personal favorite:

Harry Kotter: Gabe Kaplan plays a wise-cracking wizard who is forced to teach a bunch of remedial wizards when Hogwarts School of Witchcraft has to expand its facilities into Brooklyn New York.....Can anybody say "The Sweathogwarts?"
