Cuckoo's test

In a guide to movies coming up this year, The Guardian mentioned that The Da Vinci Code, the film of the groaner of a book about the Magdelene sisters or somesuch, might also be known as I Know What You Did Last Supper.

We thought, there's another idea to avoid doing paid work!

Ride 'Em Cowboy (Brokeback Mountain)

Along that line of thinking - not that there's anything wrong with it - came the obvious Blazing Saddles and the, er, less obvious I'll Have a Twist (geddit? Jack Twist is one of the sheeppokes). And so, Twist and Shout, Twist of Fate, Round the Twist, etc.

Grace Under Fire (Rear Window), or maybe Will and Grace.

Throw Momma from the Chair (Psycho), or Torn Curtain or Curtain Call or Truly Deeply Madly.

Ice, Slice and Four Smoking Funnels (Titanic).

The Eiffel Truth (The Lavender Hill Mob).

Koha welcome.
