Silent Punning

A botanist who is also a mime artist is in charge of the last of Earth’s forests, which are in giant domes on a spaceship orbiting Jupiter. When company officials come to destroy the forests, she manages to distract them with visual puns.
 
Army of Shy Dows - we learn why the Scottish resistance never achieved the successes of its French predecessors, largely due to the retiring nature of its colour sergeants and standard bearers.
 
Once Upon a Time in the Vest

Clint always ensures that he is presentable before he answers his front door. However, one week he is late doing his laundry, and all his clean shirts are still drying when there is a knock. He decides to answer the door with his upper body clad only in a vest. This decision will have consequences that will dramatically shape his life, the lives of those around him, and the society in which they live.
 
The Magnificent Leven

A man flees a village in Mexico which is plagued by bandits, and emigrates to the seaside town of Leven in Fife, where he sets up a Bed & Breakfast establishment. So enthusiastic is he in his praise of his new home that he is employed by the Tourist Board to work on a film promoting the town.

All the President’s Fen

A pair of reporters working for the East Anglian Daily Times receives a tip-off from an ornithologist that leads them to discover that the US President has secretly purchased a low-lying area in the East of England. Why would he want land vulnerable to flooding, at a time that global warming is causing sea levels to rise? An anonymous voice message advises them to “follow the bunny”, and they begin to suspect that the President’s purchase may be connected to a scheme to defraud the insurers of a rabbit farm.
 
Thigh Plains Drifter

Clint Eastwood is a leg man in the old West.

The Outlaw Josey Whales

The sea is just a metaphor for the frontier. "I guess we all died a little in that damn whaling boat."

In the Pine of Fire

Clint takes on the role of a firewatcher in the North American pine forests.
 
Crass: David Cronenberg's controversial adaptation of the JG Ballard novel stars James Spader as a man whose life is transformed after he wanders into a farmhouse in Essex and is introduced to a strange new underground lifestyle.

Or, alternatively, Clash: I've not seen the 2000s American one that won the Oscar, I think it's to do with race and that? Anyway, whatever happens in that film, but with Joe Strummer and Mick Jones wandering around the place for some reason.
 
The Band That Time Forgot

A group of Skiffle musicians in a run-down English seaside town never made the transition to Rock ‘n’ Roll, and, fifty years later, they are still performing end-of-the-pier shows, playing songs which were never popular back in the 1950s, and of which few if any people have any memories at all, let alone fond ones. Tribute bands may be profitable in the early 21st century, but no-one is nostalgic for the aging tunes knocked out by these greying relics of a dead genre who, even in their heyday, failed to warm the world of popular music, much less set it alight.

It so happens that the parents of a record company scout have retired to the town in which they spent many a happy holiday when he was a child. He has fond memories of the end-of-the-pier shows that he saw when young, and one wet Thursday evening in August, after visiting his parents, he decides to see what the pier has to offer these days. The band playing that night are bad, but, he thinks, they are perhaps so-bad-that-they-are-good. Will The Band That Time Forgot finally get a record contract?
 
hmm, the syntax is wrong. A suss narc? I dont think Micky and Emmers would have used such a tautology.
Fine in our way of talking, can say a person is suss meaning suspect. A suss narc is a narcotics officer the others find suspicious.

Bollocks, wrong thread - film telling the story of someone who has too many tabs open and accidentally posts some links in a completely irrelevant thread. :oops:

Despicable ME. Jack Klugman is CGI'd into this modern twist on Quincy. A feature length episode along the lines of 'Go Fight City Hall.....To The Death' but here the redoubtable crime fighting corpse prodder is on the case of a colleague who has been killing them then chilling them with the complicity of a state senator who is mob connected.
