ITT we poorly describe popular movie plots and other people try to guess them

[jrrrrrrr]

title says it all, let's have a fun forum user game, let me start!::

my examples:

Vin Diesel crosses the border and finds they are not happy to see him and his friends. (solved- Saving Private Ryan)

A bloody man wakes up and finds two surprised guests. (solved- Saw)

The worst driver ever flips out with pretty girls in tow. (solved- Deathproof)

Some guy is a cop except hes really not a cop hes actually a bad guy but he becomes a cop anyway and there's one cop who becomes a bad guy but hes actually a cop and the guy who's actually a bad guy pretending to be a cop has to find the other guy before its too late. (solved- The Departed)

These dudes are fighting in the street but the one that loses actually wins because he wanted to lose so he could win later but he lost in the end anyways (edit- only one from this post still not solved)

A game of Jeopardy! determines the fate of a hotel chain (solved- Billy Madison)


Guess these, make some of your own, etc

edit- Try to at least make a guess at one that exists before you propose new ones so it doesnt get too cluttered

 

[Zystral]

the first one sounds like The Chronicles of Riddick.

this sounds like a fun game, here are two i always wanted to try:


wolverine and batman are a pair of super awesome fancy magicians. they have a falling out and try to fuck up each other's magic acts. then wolverine starts cloning himself before betraying batman only to get rebetrayed at the end.


july 15th over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over

 

[Wikey]

First one is Pitch Black or Chronicles of Riddick

Second one is Saw

Third is I don't know

Fourth is The Departed

Fifth is I don't know

Sixth is White Men Can't Jump

Zystral's first is The Prestige (probably shouldn't give the actors makes it too easy)

Second is One Day.

Mine:

1. A man takes his girlfriend to a bar. She breaks up with him. He then takes her to the same bar and they get back together and she moves into his place. His best friend moves out into the shed.

2. A retired man gets back into business to attempt to help his brother make a big delivery. He makes the delivery at the last second but the final package is damaged and so the guy receiving the shipment gets upset. The two men get into a fight that involves breaking lots of wooden chairs and such before the bad guy falls to his death on a wooden box. The movie ends with the retired man, his brother, and all their friends eating outside.

answer to Waterbomb's

Star Wars IV

 

[WaterBomb]

First one is actually Fast Five I think, but I could be wrong.


Here's an attempt from me:

Here's one:

EDIT @ Galladiator: Citizen Kane. Boom

 

[Galladiator]

Sixth Sense. Boom.

Here's one:

A man is dying, and his last word is extremely cryptic and makes no sense on its own, so investigators spend the entire movie trying to figure out what the word means, while at the same time learning about the man's life as a media mogul. Eventually they give up, but the audience learns what it means, and it's something nobody who hasn't seen the movie--or doesn't have internet--ever expected.

let me try:
