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

Game of Thrones. Loads of people fight to be able to sit on an uncomfortable throne made of metal swords.

Dexter, serial killer kills and chops up baddies. Sister swears a lot in Miami.

Last weekend I watched Ramdom Hearts. With Kristen Scott Thomas and Harrison ford.

TBH this is possibly the most boring film ever but here goes;

Two people find out their spouses are having an affair.

Spouses die in a plane crash.

They are very sad. Have sex. One of them decides not to run for Congress.

The end.

Harrison Ford has an ear piercing though which took up most of my attention. The ironing took up the rest.

Final one before I hand this back to you excellent people. Clever, attractive and beautiful woman is dumped and instead of the usual route of crying a lot and going on the rebound, cries a lot, gets a Harvard law degree and single-handedly avoids a miscarriage of justice while throughout having a conventionally attractive hair colour.

This is genuinely DH's favourite film.

For his 65th birthday the Dcs got him a themed pink fluffy pencil case and a lunch bag. He's an accountant and takes both to work with pride. Grin

Sixth Sense- should have added.

A man gets revenge on Eastern European gangsters. Any Liam Neeson film made in the last 15 years.

Kudos for killing two films in one sentence! Grin

The funniest description I’ve seen is of the wizard of oz from an old tv guide, it went viral the other year

“Transported to a surreal landscape, a young girl kills the first person she meets and then teams up with three strangers to kill again."
