    Movies Most Changed By Replacing One Word With Another

    Not that anybody asked but this week we grabbed the thesaurus and started swapping the subtitles because we're figuring out our Top 3 Movies Most Changed By Replacing One Word With Another. One tiny tweak to a title can turn a beloved classic into something completely unrecognisable, or somehow make total sense in a way it never should. Which single-word swaps cause the most chaos, the biggest laughs, or the most unsettling improvements? What will make our final Top 3 list this week?

    Movies That Should Have A Video Game

    Not that anybody asked but this week we blew into the cartridge and mashed the reset button because we're figuring out our Top 3 Movies That Should Have A Video Game. Hollywood loves a tie-in, but somehow the good ones always get left on the cutting room floor while we're stuck button-mashing through licensed disasters instead. Which films are crying out for a janky adaptation, a cheat code and an ill-advised escort mission? What will make our final Top 3 list this week?

    Places We Would Want To Screen A Movie

    Not that anybody asked but this week we packed the popcorn and scouted some questionable venues because we're figuring out our Top 3 Places We Would Want To Screen A Movie. Forget your standard multiplex with its overpriced nachos and reclining seats, we're asking where a film would truly hit different. Does a horror movie need a location that's already trying to kill you? Would a war film play better somewhere the history actually happened? And is there a spot so perfect for a screening that it might just ruin cinemas forever? What will make our final Top 3 list this week? Expect watching the Emoji Movie the mirror of a rental car, sexual union and The Collected Works Of Pops: A Study Of Prompts and Consequences, vol 1.

    Not that anybody asked but this week we laced up the boots and ignored the offside rule because we're figuring out our Top 3 Football Films For People Who Don't Watch Football.

What will make our final Top 3 list this week? Expect a surprising amount of hobbits, an inability to spell Uruguay and Not Tim Roth.
