M is for Movie Mash-Up #AtoZChallenge #Cougar Town

Another sit-com* that we used to like was Cougar Town with Courtney Cox – basically Monica left Chandler and the twins, moved to Florida and found a new group of friends.

The Cul-de-Sac Crew (yeah, that’s what they call themselves. Sigh.) get together to drink red wine and play the Movie Mash-Up game. It’s actually quite fun. Honestly.  Especially the red wine bit.

You take two movies which share a word/syllable in their title and combine their titles. Then you mix the two storylines as the clue to the answer. Players have to guess the movie title that you made up. It’s very simple e.g.:

Q) A bunch of kids search for treasure on a deserted island and then have sex for the first time.  A) The Blue Lagoonies (the movies were Goonies and The Blue Lagoon).

Q) A story about a boy wizard and his love for his .44 magnum.  A) Dirty Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone.

Now it’s your turn.  I’ve taken a few liberties by using tv shows and books.  Answers at the bottom of the post. Here goes:

1) A killer whale gives out golden tickets to see who gets his candy company.

2) Andrew McCarthy & Peter Sellers try to hook up with Molly Ringwald.

8) A panicked mafia leader must deal with the fact that his little girl is getting married.

9) Indiana Jones and Lara Croft search for ancient artefacts

10) An island of resurrected dinosaurs run a government branch in Pawnee, Indiana [tv show].

11) The Dashwood sisters find out that the man who’s been helping them is actually a ghost.

12) Adopted mouse, who lives with Snowball in New York, hangs out with Jo and her sisters.
