Recently a couple of friends and I tried to see if we could come up with synopses of famous movies -- limiting ourselves to words of up to four letters.
Here are a few examples. Can you name the movies? Better yet, can you suggest other examples?
1. A man with a gun and a dark past aids a boy and his mom and dad, then goes. Come back, guy!
2. Sexy? I'll say she was.
So when she said, "I wish my mate were dead," it came to me all at once:
A plan to kill him, bilk my firm and make us rich.
"Let me help you," I said.
Oy, if only I'd kept my trap shut....
3. Time and tide do not wait for Deb and Burt.

So clever! But why not add a further challenge and make them palidromic?
Revise my entry:
1. Shane
2. ?
3. From Here to Eternity
1. Long ago and far away, a boy and his bots find Dad is a dark lord.
2. Need a room? Ask for Mom. But be safe; take a bath.
3. A New York City cop will tail the bad guy all over. Oui, best get out of the way.
Mr. Cubbison, to my complete lack of surprise, correctly answered 1. and 3.
The answer to No. 2 is supposed to be "Double Indemnity."
I guess this is a tougher game than it looks. Here are the answers to the next round.
1. Long ago and far away, a boy and his bots find Dad is a dark lord. "Star Wars"
2. Need a room? Ask for Mom. But be safe; take a bath. "Psycho"
3. A New York City cop will tail the bad guy all over. Oui, best get out of the way. "The French Connection"
