Today’s challenge is to alter a movie title to make it more attractive to an audience of fundamentalists.
Here are a few to start:
‘Gentlemen Prefer Blondes Who Dress Modestly’
‘The Cider House Rules Are Not Written Down Anywhere But You Should Obey Them Anyway’.
‘The 10,000 Commandments’
(many thanks to John who sent in this suggestion and most of the examples)
Pastor White and the 7 sinners
the truth about catholics and dogs
“The Secret Garden Where You’re Not Allowed to Walk on the Grass”
I get it. LOL

Any Given Friday Darrell Posts A Challenge So He Makes Us Do All The Work. 😆
Of course movie taglines could be fundied up as well:
Gladiator
He rebelled against authority so God killed him.
Braveheart
He rebelled against authority so God killed him.
Spartacus
He rebelled against authority so God killed him.
Ah, yes, the ever-famous “He-rebelled-against- authority-so-God-killed-him” Trilogy! They are available as a boxed set complete with commentary by Jack Schapp.
Perfect.
A soul-winning super hero movie: 10,000 Doors an Hour
Jackass
No need to change the title, just the plot. Instead of seeing goofy guys getting hit in the family jewels with a dead fish, we get to see sinners getting hit over the head with a wide margin KJV.
okay- my “submit” button is showing me no love, so i’ll try these again:
a hard day’s watchnight

All good. They had a movie that went to theaters in, I think, 1997.

The Preacher Who Knew Too Little
“The Man of God” where Dorothy is a sweet little IFB girl and she’s off to see “the man of God, because…. because…. because…. becaaaussssssse… because of the wonderful things he does!”
On a side note, she defeats the evil witch of rebellion and befriends the “outcasts” along her journey. Which, of course is what every good, clean, upright, fundy, child of gid should do!
argh! 👿 now I have that song running through my head with the words “We’re off to see the manogod, the wonderful man-o’-god…” Help!!!! Brain bleach, PLEASE! 😯
I wonder how many posters are Googling movie titles right now?
I’m using Netflix, but sometimes I use old twitter hashtags for ideas too.
The top 100, at least.
I went to the Wiki stub on Academy Awards and tried to use some of the winners for mine. 😆
I’m just sitting here waiting for movie titles to come to mind and then tweaking them to fit.
Band of Baptists
Love it, but that band is easily broken over any minor complaint. Maybe “very loosely bonded” band of baptists? 🙂
