I came up with a fun game that’s along the line of your snarky movie game. I call it Mixed Up Movies, where you have to create a movie title and description that combines two separate movies into one. You write the description and provide the real actors and the other folks have to guess the name of the movie.

For instance:

Hilarity ensues when a mild-mannered suburban family adopts a troubled San Francisco homicide detective.

Clint Eastwood, John Lithgow, and Margaret Langrick star in?

Dirty Harry and The Hendersons

Or:

A retired English butler reminiscences about his time in service to a Lord’s estate while also trying to convince his fellow townsfolk that recently arrived aliens come in peace.

Keanu Reeves and Anthony Hopkins star in?

The Remains of the Day the Earth Stood Still.

Or:

The boss of a Los Angeles crime syndicate enlists the help of a top British Spy to help recover a stolen briefcase by going undercover at an exclusive high-stakes poker game.

Ving Rames, Daniel Craig, and Samuel L Jackson star in?

Casino Royale With Cheese




The stupid game along these lines that I like is to describe a made up film with a title that rhymes with some known film by modifying the description of the film, e.g.

Dominic Toretto and his street racer friends go around making some ridiculous claims.

An FBI agent must enlist the help of a killer to catch a dangerous fiend, who's crime is shushing people on public transport.

An archaeologist/adventurer is hired to venture inside a proton to see what particles he can find.

You might enjoy Says You (public radio show). They do this category from time to time. Most recently 2 weeks ago, SY-2630, round 3, starts at ~20:30 in. :)
