Film's summed up in a few lines

Heard this on the radio before. Have to sum up a film in a few lines that don’t necessarily do it justice or give real insight.
I’ll start ball rolling:


Dirty Dancing. Hotel worker grooms girl whilst doing the tango much to the annoyance of her dad.

Goodfellas… Man grasses his mates when he gets nicked.

Rocky… Man loses a couple of boxing matches then wins one.

Scum….Ray Winstone expresses paternal yearnings as he becomes Daddy to a group of young scallywags.

Pretty Woman….Curb crawler pays brass to be his girlfriend.

Top Gun… A touching insight into repressed homosexuality in the US Air Force

Shawshank Redemption… Financial wiz kid opens accountancy practice and plays hard to get in light- hearted prison comedy caper.

Wizard of Oz….Girl has a dream .

Quadrophenia…. Boy throws scooter off a cliff after rowing with his mum.

La Haine…. Parisian youths walk round the city at night speaking French.

  • Best one ever is Family Guy - Brian sitting in a cinema with a blind person explaining The Blair Witch Project as it goes along:

    "Nothing's happening... Nothing's happening... Nothing's happening... Nothing's happening....... Something about a map... Nothing's happening... Nothing's happening...... It's over. A lot of people looked pissed"

    Donkey's years ago, the Daily Mirror had a film critic (Arthur Thirkell, as I recall) who must have had one of the easiest jobs in the world.

    He would have to summarise a film in two words. So, you have to imagine this geezer who watches a film (or doesn't even bother, of course) and then summarises it as 'Tense melodrama' or 'Detective saga'.

    Piece of piss.

    Cant get enough of family guy. Stewie and Brian spin off would be inspired. Love it when Stewie ribs Brian about his never- to- be finished book "so writing a novel...eh.."

    The bit when he goes Robert De Niro from Goodfellas "where's my money" is great too.
  • Titanic: Ship sinks....
  • Have you ever watched any of the '*Insert film name here* in 5 seconds' videos on YouTube? Some are hilarious, especially Titanic and Rocky.
  • Bambi...an insight into single parenthood in the animal kingdom

    Snatch....as above with travellers.


    Usual suspects....Kevin Spacey blags his way out of custody by pretenting to have limp

    haha....''You got money for fake moustaches....Where's my money?!''

    Brilliant when Stewie has been on the roids and Brian is trying to get passed him at the top of the stairs ''eh..oh...uh...eh....ahhhhh im just messing wit ya man''
