Friday Challenge: Movie Titles

492 Comments

Today’s challenge is to alter a movie title to make it more attractive to an audience of fundamentalists.

Here are a few to start:

‘Gentlemen Prefer Blondes Who Dress Modestly’

‘The Cider House Rules Are Not Written Down Anywhere But You Should Obey Them Anyway’.

‘The 10,000 Commandments’

(many thanks to John who sent in this suggestion and most of the examples)

    3. I just figured out this was a Quiverful joke. I thought initially it was a Rapture deadline joke. Much funnier now!

  43. The Secret Window, starring Johnny Depp..famous opening line, “You stole my story.” – The Secret Door, starring Jack Hyles and Vic Nischick…opening line, “You stole my wife.”

  46. Rawhide. Someone give me a story line for this. I don’t think the title needs changed, but I’m only coming up with dirty jokes.

    1. A continuing Saga of the Pastor who had Liberty to Preach. Rawhide and Paul Best’s THOR are stories of preaching the hide off the sheep and stepping on their toes.

  48. The Pastor Proxy is perfect! I was trying hard to come up with something for that movie.

    Gotta get on a plane. This was fun!
