And the winner is..?

In the first writing competition of the year over at, Save The Cat website, you are asked to think of a famous movie, and then replace one of its letters with another to form a new, preferably humorous new film title and then write a 'save the cat' like logline -the kind of description of the film you might find in the TV guide. Ladies, gentlefolk...here are four entries that I came up with when I should have been correcting colour proofs, admiring my own typographical genius...or something work related. Just in case it's not plainly obviously what films I've gently mocked, they are; One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Catch-22, Cloverfield, and The Italian Job.
