Damn it! This combination of two of the most delightful art forms is proving quite lethal. And I have no one to blame but myself.:o

A king and his pal had a very
enjoyable time making merry.
But it came to an end
when the king made his friend
the Archbishop of Canterbury.

The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie.

Though charming and lacking pretense,
this movie defies common sense:
half telling of dreams,
the other half seems
to be one long dream of suspense.

Though Shark does not ride in a limo,
he's still the threat numero primo;
it's not unlike here,
in Eratosphere,
when all of us go finding Nemo.

This is so fun. Thank you for the thread, Marion!

For hundreds of millions, methinks
they'd veer from a screenplay that stinks,
but thinking again,
there's not much to pen:
a boat hits an iceberg and sinks.

I think extra points should be awarded to entries that begin "In a world...".

To an upper-class chateau they came
For a weekend of shooting at game,
But emotions grew hot,
And poor André was shot -
Still, it's all in the rules of the game.

(Sorry about the duplicate rhyme. For years this was my No. 1 film. It eventually got knocked into second place by "Sansho Dayu", which I'm not going to attempt.)

She takes lovers, it seems, on a whim;
Will she settle for him, or for him?
Though she’s married to Jules,
She can’t live by the rules,
And she dies in the river with Jim.

And another from Brian's favourite's director:

A man takes his wife and his daughter
For a lovely day out on the water
But while he's off fishing
The ladies go swishing
Their skirts a bit more than they oughter..

What a beautiful little film that is, Ann.

There are bandits and sword-play and grain
And a bloody last fight in the rain.
It starts off with seven
But four go to heaven
And Hollywood did it again.
