Nicer Film Titles

On Twitter, people will often create games that end up in the Trending Topics. You'll see some topics have a "#" tag because it saves character space and others don't (because sometimes there are just words that are coming up a lot). But then there will be a topic with a "#" that is obviously silly.

Yesterday I saw one had appeared called "#nicerfilmtitles", films that have already been made but renamed to sound more pleasant. I was jealous I didn't think of it first, and also was looking for a quick joke writing exercise, so instead of coming up with my own topic I posted 50+ entries in an effort to dominate the game. I gained about 30 followers and lost about 10 (I guess some people want their Twitter feed to be quiet like a library, because they are lame). Some of these are pretty dumb, but I think there's a few good ones in there.
