Default Reverse your favorite movie

I was watching Resident Alien the other night and there was this brilliant conversation between the Alien and human when they're trapped after falling into a crevice in the glacier.

The Alien was talking about how the Aliens were originally welcomed on earth and helped humanity, but mankind changed and Earth was the stank hole of the galaxy. But somehow the talk turned to one of Harry's (aliens favorite movies, and he talked about Monkeys in a tree.

Something like


Harry - "The monkeys were in the tree minding their own business, until their territory was invaded by a girl and her friend and their foul dog"

The girl responded with a "That's the wizard of Oz Harry and the flying monkeys were the villians"

To which Harry replied - "Not to the Monkeys"

So just as a fun little game, maybe take your favorite movie and flip the narrative on it, take your favorite movie and write your own byline making the villains the good guys and the hero's the villains.

If course since I'm a Star Wars fan


"They sought to bring Chaos to a galaxy that had suffered from endless war, corruption and injustice. They murdered millions and gave out medals afterwards. Only one leader with a vision and his friend who was like a son to him, could bring peace justice and order to the Galaxy"

The Empire Strikes back.

Play if you'd like.

A rouge band of government contractors aren't adequately punished after several experimental weapons accidents. So one man, husband and father to victims of one of the accidents, takes it upon himself to ensure they destroy each other, rather than continuing to hurt the innocent.

This made me think of Arthur Spooner's (Jerry Stiller) - from The King of Queens - takes on classic movies, specifically It's a Wonderful Life:

After decades of searching, a man finds his long lost son, only to discover he has become the leader of a group of criminals and mercenaries. The father invites them all to his home regardless and tries to reconnect with his son, telling him stories about his own past and the meaning of life as he sees it. Tragically their relationship is soured by the son blaming the father for the mothers death, and in their final confrontation the father is killed and the son and his friends flee the scene.

Spoiler!


At the turn of the millennia, a rising rock star is stalked by her sleazy, obsessive ex-boyfriend who still masturbates to their old sex tapes, and who ends up murdering her new lover at her suite during the new years celebration.

Hopefully it's something else. If not someone should make that movie, it actually sounds pretty awesome.
