Please Be Kind...Rewind

[James Brown]

I thought I'd try a game I heard about that seemed fun.

(For you young kids, Rewinding was something you had to do to movies before you took them back to the Rental Shop or else they would charge--never mind, just be aware of how easy you have it these days.)

The object of the game is to describe the plot of a movie in reverse. The player who correctly guesses the movie gets to describe the next movie. I'll start with the first one:


A giant ship rises out of the ocean, swallows a bunch of swimmers, then steams towards England at high speed.

Jaws

 

[Jimmy Higgins]

That'd be the Titanic.

I like this movie. It involves:

Taking stones and putting them into a case, taking them to a cruise ship, then eventually putting them right back where they were in the beginning.

Jaws

By the way, Jaws would be "Shark that spontaneously comes into existence keeps vomiting people until they go to the beach".

Sounds like the Fifth Element

How about:

Mysterious Object takes action to regress advance human species race into primitive tribal beasts.

(Nice one.)


A professor loses, then finds, then loses, then finds, then loses again, a valuable artifact.

Raiders of the Lost Ark. (It's a palindrome movie apparently?)

A superman forgets his powers, escapes from his pursuers, gets his friend captured, reunites with him thanks to a resurrected villain who becomes his friend also, forgets a lot of things during a montage, rides a waterslide backwards, regurgitates an object, goes to work, goes to a party, goes home. Another person makes a phone call and is almost caught by the police.

The Matrix

This was a subplot in a movie:
A working class space crew repairs a malfunctioning android with a baseball bat before eventually accepting him as one of their own.

Or this one:

Sounds like 2012. Or maybe San Andreas.

I propose that was Twister.

Yes, Twister.

Is that Force 10 from Navaronne? (I don't remember the bit about the dog.)

I was going to post the exact same comment (including the comment about the dog!)

But I think the movie is

Dam Busters
