We did this on TF the other day and it was fun and a good time filler during work lulls.

Summarize any movie in 25 words or less.  Don't be so revealing that it's obvious, but don't be so vague that it's impossible.  Best of all, try and be clever.  Everyone else can guess what it is.  No one has to wait to submit, just submit as many as you want.

I'll start:



Woman lays herself bare in order to play with instrument being held by tattooed naked guy.  Daughter not amused.

A man making a business deal ends up befriending a killer.  He then tries to help the killer make a final hit so killer can live.

I have no idea what Beefy's is.

Here's mine:

Junior transfer student, slacker, and other share dorm, adventures, bed.  Stars a Baldwin brother.  Also, someone from Sports Night and a skeleton.  Sex is had.

Either Collateral or The Whole Nine Yards, I'm guessing.

Yeah, I think I made that one too easy.

Four engineers build a time machine in their garage.  After that, it gets confusing.

Nope.  But I edited it for better clarity.

I want to say The Dreamers, but there's no yo-yo in that.

Y Tu Mama Tambien?

Hmm, I'll rephrase:

Rogue watches as her mom whores herself out for her favorite musical instrument which is being held by a local tattooed guy.

Yeah.

Clone threatens to destroy the good guys, all because he can't get protagonist's blood.  Also, beloved character sacrifices himself to save everyone.
