Pitch new plots that could work for real movie titles. 

Rules: 
  1. No direct nods or references to the actual film titled. 
  2. No changing the title, however if the movie is a part of a saga or franchise, the franchise name doesn't need to be included. For example, you could do "The Empire Strikes Back" without having to include "Star Wars Episode 5", or "The Chamber of Secrets" without having to include "Harry Potter and the", but couldn't do something like "Die Hardest".
  3. One title can have more than one plot, but if you do one someone already did make sure it's actually a different idea and not just rehashing or changing one tiny detail.
Example (from another thread) :


Free Solo 
(an upcoming 2018 film)

Rogue-theX said:
Han Solo has been jailed for illegal transportation of stolen goods. Chewbacca, Leia and Luke stage a daring escape plan to FREE SOLO from the most secure prison in the galaxy, little do they know that Boba Fett is hot on their trail.

addiesin said:
The story of a simple red cup on an extraordinary journey of good deeds done without any expectation for compensation, full of heart, love, and wholesome self-searching.

Star Wars, the story of how a group of sentient Suns with the ability of galactic ranged telepathy put their brains together and come up with a plan to escape being sucked into the center of the galaxy in a few billion years. The film was banned for being way too long and for being beyond our understanding.

THE MARTIAN

While tripping on acid in the woods, Jim and Dave watch a falling star land near them. Curious, they go to the meteor only to discover it is an alien saucer that crash landed! Believing this to be a shared hallucination, Jim and Dave are not fearful of the alien and befriend the little guy. Soon, they're all back at Jim's mom's basement smoking weed when Dave asks, "So, why did you come to Earth anyways?" Passing the joint into Jim, The Martian realizes, "oh shit.." he forgot his mission! Hilarious stoner hijinks ensue as the high trio attempt to keep the alien hidden from the government and public, meanwhile, unbeknownst to anyone, an alien invasion is on it's way! This summer, Rob Schneider is, 'The Martian.'
