Describe a film in the most boring way possible on purpose

[CeciledeVolangesdeNouveau]

I may be the only person in the world who finds this amusing but if anyone wants to participate in this sort of game to combat post Christmas/NYE blues I’d be grateful. In the vein of the description of the Wizard of Oz which goes something like “young immigrant girl commits murder immediately on arrival and goes on to leave a trail of destruction with a trio of oddly assorted companions”.

To start us off: Seabiscuit - a horse does things, rather well actually.

Pirates of the Caribbean - people strangely fancy a criminal who is irrefutably incredibly smelly

Mary Poppins - a nanny does a job well

Lord of the Rings - various men obsessed with jewellery.

Harry Potter - Boy who lives in cupboard goes to new school.

Black Swan: a ballet dancer finds her job stressful

War of the Worlds: aliens turn out to be absolute tossers

Ohhh I thought it was going to be a guessing game!

Oh that would be good! Start a new thread

Okay 🤣

That is a much cooler idea @JanglingJack! Can you post a link so we can all join in on there? And thanks everyone who contributed, difficult day and you made me really smile.
