Just read about this as I think it's "trending". I reckon we could come up with a pretty good list...

e.g. 'young girl leaves home to live with 7 strange men' (Snow White)

Your turn.

Or... Rocky?

*Ship sinks

what film is that, Flora?

It's Perfect Storm, of course.* 

I can see you are getting an icy reaction there?

Are you sure it's not Poseidon

It's a killing spree with lots a blood and gore. The more the better from humans to vampires. ( any Quentin Tarantino movie, take your pick)

Kidnapping as a profession, however, love trumps all ( the pointless movie "the bounty hunter)

Five second appearance by Stan lee, a fight breaks out, superhero fights a villain and wins. The villain reappears in the next sequel or prequel. A town or city is partly destroyed or it will be destroyed. Most likely New York. (Any avengers movie including Spider-Man, avengers assemble, iron man etc)
